5, 2023, 46-year-old Dallas gay man Rory Sean Thacker was found strangled to death with an electrical cord in his East Dallas home, according to his sister, Holly Kimbrell.
Kimbrell, her husband and Thacker’s neighbor found his body and his dogs, who weren’t harmed. There weren’t any signs of forced entry at the home, but Thacker’s car, phone and bank cards were all missing.
While his car, a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe, was recovered in early May, his phone still has not been found, Kimbrell said. Kimbrell said the car was found abandoned in Pleasant Grove less than 10 miles from his home.
