You can still feel the sadness in his sighs - Bob Carreiro is a tired man.
He’ll be the first to tell you he’s worn out from a lifetime of missing his little girl, Kynara, who was just 7 years old when an unimaginable act of brutality stole her life - and his - more than three decades ago.
“I love my little girl,” says Carreiro. “She’d say, ‘Daddy come swing with me.’ And I’d go swing. And she’d say, ‘Daddy, help me with my homework.’ And I’d go lay on the floor and help her with homework.”
Back then, one of their neighbors on their quiet northwest Harris County street was a man named Rex Warren Mays, who sometimes performed as ‘Uh-Oh the Clown’ entertaining children at parties.
But on July 20, 1992, Mays’ dark side took over.
Just hours after being fired from his job, Mays stabbed Kynara and her best friend, 10-year-old Kristin Wiley, in a middle-of-the-day attack so violent - so heartless - our community would never be the same.
