I have been doing some research to see if any murders or bodies were ever in fact dumped or left in Old Foamy creek as some rumors and local stories suggested, I was shocked when I found this old newspaper article that detailed the murder of a wife and 5-month-old baby. The baby was dumped in Old Foamy creek by his father David Wayne Ingram 24, of Cleburne. The story details an account of which he and his wife had fought and she had demanded a divorce, he admittedly strangled her in drunken anger and then turned on the baby and smothered it. He stated that he put the baby who was still in his green sleeper suit, in a trash bag and he was tossed into the left side of the creek. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1980 but I haven’t been able to find any prison records of him.
Here is a clip
from the paper that mentions where the killer dumped the bodies. Where is the Ham creek bridge? That’s where he dumped Joyce’s body. This is all pretty creepy. Thinking of that poor baby floating in the creek I saw today, bundled up like a bag of garbage is saddening and haunting. Both mother and child are buried in Rosehill Cemetery in Cleburne.
