Theodore Cigo Crews
Theodore Cigo Crews was a father, and his daughter, Kambri Crews, later wrote about their childhood together in the memoir Burn Down The Ground. He was paroled in June 2020, but he was still in Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody when he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and he died five days later. A Texas Attorney General custodial death report lists his death on July 10, 2020, at the Carole Young Unit in Galveston County. His daughter had packed clothes, dishes and household items in a box for his homecoming, and she says the family was left with bureaucratic apathy and neglect from the Texas criminal justice system.
