THE CRUSADE TO REMOVE CHRISTIANITY FROM AMERICAN CULTURE

Led by Madalyn Murray O'Hair

A Historical Perspective

Atheist leader Madalyn Murray O'Hair--holds a copy of the Bible in her office, in this Dec. 3, 1969 file photo. 

Federal authorities confirmed Thursday, March 15, 2001 that bones dug up from a ranch in January are those of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, 76, and her son Jon Garth Murray, 40, and Robin Murray O'Hair, 30, her granddaughter. The family disappeared from San Antonio in 1995 along with $500,000 in gold coins. 

Investigators believe they were kidnapped, robbed and killed, and their bodies were cut up and dumped on a ranch near Camp Wood, about 125 miles from San Antonio.
