The first thing that I think they noticed when they were walking up were the guns lined up along the sidewalk.
It's a nice rural area. It was bizarre that there would be a burglary there.
Her husband had a gunshot wound in the head and blood all over him. This is not a high crime area by any stretch of the imagination. He was a great dad, great husband, hard worker.
I'm trying to get a hold of my mother-in-law because they live right next door to us because I didn't want the kids in the house with all just everything that was going on.
Something speaks about this. Something ain't right here, man. I'm telling you.
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, your host and your true crime bestie, Annie Elise. And let me just tell you, okay, the case that we are going over today, it is a freaking wild one. It has so many twists. It's like a roller coaster. It's... Unbelievable. The motive is just beyond insane. And when I first heard about this case, I'm just going to tell you, I immediately knew I needed to jump on the mic and talk with you about this because I was like trying to wrap my head around it, make sense of it. I was having a difficult time, but then as we continued our research and gathered more facts, more interviews, more footage, I started seeing the light.
I started seeing it all come together, and it certainly is a wild one. Before we get into today's case, quick little reminder, if you are listening to the podcast version of this episode, take a quick second, make sure that you're following the podcast so that you don't miss any future episodes. Should be in like the top right corner, maybe bottom corner, depends what app you're using. And if you are watching the video version of this on YouTube, hit the red subscribe button so that you also don't miss future episodes. Now, let's get into this because I need to talk with you about this case. So it was just after 6 a.m. on November 9th, 2005, when a very frantic 911 call came into dispatch. It was from a terrified woman who lived in Texas, and through her just panicked, hysterical sobbing, she told this operator that her husband had been shot while he was sleeping.
She also said, this is a little bit graphic, but she said there was pink foam coming out of his mouth. And in the background, you can hear her screaming out and pleading for help, saying, help, he's making a god-awful sound. Now that man, that man was Keith Gentry. And at first, it seemed like a horrific home invasion, this random act of violence that shattered this very happy, very wholesome Texas family just overnight in the blink of an eye. But as the detectives started digging into the case, the story began to unravel. And it revealed one of the most unbelievable motives that I have ever heard of in any case that I've covered. Now, Keith's loved ones were devastated. And I should mention, they were adamant that the police got it all wrong.
They stood by the person who the police accused of pulling the trigger. They were convinced there was absolutely no way that they could be responsible. So what was the truth?
What details emerged about the crime scene and the initial investigation?
What really happened inside the Gentry home that night? Was it a break-in gone wrong? A crime of passion, maybe? Or was it something far more calculated and chilling? In order to answer that, we have to go back a little bit, and we need to talk about who Keith was. Keith was your classic Texas guy just through and through.
