Deputies said that a caller reported seeing the headless body in the front seat of the truck around 6 p.m. May 3. Fingerprint analysis helped deputies identify the victim as Jubal Dee Alexander, 24, of Port Arthur. It’s not clear if Alexander was alive or dead when decapitated, but the case is being handled as a homicide investigation, Kincheloe said.

Investigators do not have any leads as to how Alexander was beheaded, Kincheloe said, and have not been able to determine a cause of death.

Alexander was last heard from on April 27th.

The victim was described as a hard-working man who wanted his father to be proud of him. Friends and family said he was never trouble.

Investigators will not say whether the truck was forced into or if they think the headless murder occurred over drugs or anything else. “They won’t even let me see him”.

Alexander’s family said it did not appear that he had been robbed because his wallet – filled with cash – was still inside the truck, along with Alexander’s guitar. “His shift was a 10-hour, maybe a 13-hour shift. Authorities say he worked the overnight shift, and was homeless, so he would sleep in his truck during the day. I want help to find the people who do this. He added that he wants to find everyone who was involved in his son’s assassination, he also wants enough coverage so people can find out, because he don’t want this incident to be “swept under the rug or die in a cold case”. “I don’t want to see anything (done) to the person”.
