On Wednesday, November 22nd. 2023, The Bandera County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) published a Facebook Post asking the community for help in locating Ms. Freda Michelle Thomas who is a suspect in the death ofRobert Isaacks whose body was recovered out of Crockett County. The BCSO has issued a warrant for murder against Thomas who, according to the post, goes by the name Michelle.
Stephanie Holan, the granddaughter of the Isaacks and also an attorney, has posted two posts of her own providing additional information in the circumstances of her grandfather’s death.
“My name is Stephanie Holan, Founding Partner of Holan Law, PLLC.
This is the most recent photo of my grandfather, Robert Isaacks, obtained from a door camera, entering the front door of the home he shares with his daughter-my aunt. This is Wednesday, November 15, 2023, around 10:20 a.m. CST. He is accompanied by this younger woman. We do not know who she is.
She is seen exiting, alone, two hours after, wearing gloves. The photo is slightly distorted because it was pulled from video and enhanced. The pixelation makes it look odd, but, her eyes are distinct. My grandfather is never seen leaving through the front or back door.
The home was declared a crime scene based on initial investigation of the home. They found what they believe to be blood on the garage floor.
An industrial-sized trash can and my grandfather’s jeep are also missing.
The police and Texas Rangers are investigating. Please contact law enforcement if you see this woman or the Jeep. She is a person of interest in this case and they suspect foul play.
His jeep was last seen in Bandera, TX, in the Hill Country area, being driven by the woman, whom witnesses say appears alone in the car.”
In a followup post by Holan, she wrote:
“The IRONY and PAIN the frame on this photo. Freda Michelle Thomas. You SHOULD have stayed home…it would have saved lives.
She has a tattoo on her upper left arm, shown in many different pictures. She is pictured with her mother and sister below.
If you see her, call the authorities. This will be done the right way. We don’t want her being able to avoid accountability because of anyone else’s rash or violent actions. That would be too quick and too good for someone who took my grandfather off of the planet.
The BCSO also advises anyone who sees Freda Michelle Thomas not to approach her but instead contact their office at 830-796-8771″
In another post by the Bandera CSO, the suspect may be driving a jeep with a large yellow sign on the rear spare tire.
