HOUSTON—It’s been a while since Acres Homes resident Anita Sharp been completely at ease at home.

“(Do I) lay in my bed and just sleep? No,” Sharp said. “Right now the slightest little noise wakes me. I don’t think that is comfortable.”

Comfort won’t come until police solve the mystery surrounding the deaths that have become known collectively as the Acres Homes murders.

As many as eight women have been killed in the area in the past few years.

“We have expended more resources in this case than in any other that I have been involved in,” said HPD’s Lt. Ron Walker. “It’s because we want to. It’s because we have to. We need to.”

“We want to answer the questions for the people that live in the Acres Homes area,” he said.

This week, tips in that HPD investigation led Harris County detectives to Brian Ranard Davis.

Davis is now charged with the capital murder of Kandus Hightower-Sharp. Her burned body was found in August of last year.

The victim’s DNA was found in the trunk of Davis’ girlfriend’s car, said police. The match was confirmed on Thursday.

Various statements from informants could connect him to at least one more murder: that of 18-year-old Willie Bianca Jones.

Jones’ death is the last of the Acres Homes cases.  HPD says they’re looking at Davis in the teen’s death, but that he’s not alone.

“We do have multiple DNA profiles of suspects of the cases that we are investigating in Acres Homes. It is more than three,” said Lt. Walker.

Seeing someone in handcuffs is some comfort back in Acres Homes, but Anita Sharp still worries about other suspects that may still be on the loose.

“That person is probably jumping up and down saying, OK, they found that person they are going to blame it on him, so I can feel free and do what ever I want to do now,” said Sharp. “I don’t personally feel that progress has been made just because one person has been found.”
