In Walcott, light hall was reported
order to cover up the murder. Fire investigators found evidence of
four different fires being set in the house.
According to Hereford Fire Marshall Jay Spain, the fires burned
themselves out after the oxygen in the house expired. The fires were
contained to the living room.
Spain said the temperature in the house could have exceeded 1,000
degrees. “The house was equipped with a flame retardant
sheetrock,” Spain said. “That sheetrock kept the fire from
spreading throughout the house.”
Spain added that there was no doubt that arson was to blame for
the fires.
District Attorney Roland Saul said that the assailant was ap-
parently a friend of Lindeman’s, and that the two may have been in a
fight earlier that evening.
Saul said that Benitez will be tried as an adult for the murder.
Benitez turned 17 on Friday.
Police, working on a tip, picked up Benitez while he was at a
friend’s house Sunday evening. Formal charges were brought
around midnight Sunday.
“The first thing I thought is that we had some kind of psychotic
killer on the loose,” Saul said. “But now we feel very confident that
we have the killer in custody and there is no reason for the communi-
ty to be alarmed."

A 58-year-old Hereford woman who had been stabbed more than 10
times in the abdomen and chest was found Sunday evening by her
daughter.
The body of Angeline Lindeman was found lying naked in a
bedroom of her residence. Lindeman had apparently been dead for
36 hours before she was discovered.
Police have arrested 17-year-old Isla Benitez in connection with
the murder. Benitez is being held in the Deaf Smith County jail under
a 350,000 bond.
According to police accounts, Lindeman was attacked late Friday
night. The killer then apparently tried to set the house on fire in

Today, a receptionist at the
Hereford TRLA office said Randall
Marshall, local director, was out of
town.
Daryl Borgquist, manager of
public affairs for the LSC, said a let-
ter was sent to TRLA on April 30
which said LSC had approved
TRLA’s 1986 refunding application
for the term of one month, beginning
on May 1, and thereafter would
review and approve any refunding
application for an additional month
or any other term.
“As for TRLA, specifically, the
corporation has received informa-
tion which provides reasons for con-
cern as to whether TRLA is, or has
been, in compliance with all ap-
plicable laws and grant conditions,"
the letter said.
LSC expects to complete an
analysis of that information soon and
if there appears to be sufficient
reason for concern, the corporation
will request that TRLA respond to
those concerns. According to a
spokesman from the office of Larry
Combest, who has been active in an
investigation of TRLA affairs, said
TRLA has “cashed that check" and
in so doing agrees to those terms
