I feel like I’m signing away my life. Literally. I just read through the consent forms I need to sign to cover this story. A story that has to be told. A story I uncovered as part of my investigation into seven missing death-row prisoners in the state of Texas.
My name is Eddie Hansen. I’m a freelance reporter. This journal, along with my audio and video diary, is my record of the Uphir Behavioral Health Center in Uphir, Texas. An unofficial ghost town that’s completely off the grid. A place without a zip code or mailing address.
My best guess is that this is a privately funded asylum where experimental procedures are being conducted without the consent of its patients.
While conducting this investigation, I will be voluntarily under the care of Dr. Alan Haworth, a clinical psychologist, and Rev. William H. Billings, a local minister who will act as counselor in charge of my spiritual condition.
It’s my theory that Annette Dobson, the SIDS Killer, is being held in Uphir, at the asylum, under the care of Billings and Haworth.
In case you missed the news, here’s her story. Over a thirteen-year period, five of Annette Dobson’s children died before they reached their first birthday. Each time, SIDS was determined as the cause of death and no wrongdoing was suspected.
When her sixth child, Anthony died less than three months after his birth in March of 2009, evidence suggested a homicide. A lengthy investigation ensued and Dobson finally broke down and confessed to all six murders.
After a speedy trial, Annette Dobson received the death penalty from the great state of Texas, with her execution scheduled for Friday, May 13, 2011.
While on death row, Dobson became pregnant. A media nightmare broke out when Dobson requested her execution be moved to November 19, 2010. No media, no family, and no outside witnesses were to be present. She stated that her privacy was to be respected, and she alone would suffer the consequences of her actions.
Right to life advocates protested believing Dobson would be consenting to a late term abortion by the time the court made its ruling. The state could not execute her if she was pregnant, but on November 19th the execution proceeded as scheduled.
Annette Dobson left no last statement. A death certificate was filed with the state and her case was closed.
Her infamous husband, Kevin Dobson vehemently denied knowledge of the murders. He told me in our interview that Annette was afraid to die and she would do anything to stay out of hell.
When the state informed Kevin that Annette’s wishes had changed, he knew something was wrong. So he came to me. He begged me to find answers.
So here I am sitting in the only diner in Dell City, Texas, a booming bastion of 413 people and the last vestige of civilization before venturing into the asylum at Uphir.
