It’s been more than three years since someone shot a much-loved Teague grandmother to death in her car, but the town’s police offi cers remain more determined than ever to solve the mystery, according to Chief of Police DeWayne Philpott.
“Teague Police Depart- ment considers this its top priority case and has been and is continuing to follow up on evidence and any leads we have or will come across,” Philpott said. “We want this case solved to afford some closure to the family of this horrific incident.”
Von Staggs, 64, was found by a coworker in the parking lot of Brookshire Brothers on Loop 255 Sunday, Feb. 23, in the early morning hours. The killer apparently shot the grocery store manager in the head just as she was preparing to open the store for the day.
