A man convicted of raping and murdering multiple women, including several in North Texas, was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole this morning after pleading guilty to a 2017 Fort Worth murder.
–
While he was under investigation for Matheson’s murder, Kimbro raped and stranged Megan Getrum, 36, of Plano. Getrum was a stranger to Kimbro, who murdered her on April 14, 2017 while she was on an evening hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve near her home. Her body was found days later in Lake Ray Hubbard.
During the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office and law enforcement years-long investigation, it was learned that Kimbro had been accused of aggravated sexual assault in Plano in 2012, in South Padre in 2014, and in Allen again in 2014. None of these cases had been filed at the time of Matheson’s murder.
During the investigation, four other victims were also identified. Victims described being drugged, strangled, and raped. For various reasons, these sexual assaults had not been previously reported to law enforcement, but all four women were prepared to testify against Kimbro.
