Last year, the crimes were brought back into the forefront of conscience with the film “Once Upon A Time in Hol­lywood” and the Netflix televi­sion show “Mindhunters.” In both instances, a major player was former Copeville resident and FHS graduate Charles “Tex” Watson, easily the most infamous person to come out of Farmersville.
