Texas man Robert Aaron Morairity Jr., 45, is accused of murdering his wife and daughter before hiding the victims’ bodies in a garage for months at an abandoned rural residence.
Kimberly Kellam’s brother-in-law called the Wise County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, June 12, to report that he had neither seen the woman nor her 11-year-old daughter for six months.

According to a news release from the WCSO. The caller said his sister-in-law lived off County Road 4371 south of Decatur with her husband, who he identified as Morairity.
Deputies went to the location and found the residence abandoned after knocking at the door with no response and walking the property without locating anyone.
When authorities, including the Texas Rangers, found 45-year-old Robert Aaron Morairity Jr. on Tuesday, he was with his 3-year-old and 10-year-old children in Dallas, more than an hour away from the Decatur property where investigators would find the victims’ bodies — allegedly with the suspect’s assistance.
According to the sheriff’s office, Morairity initially said he had not seen his wife or daughter in around six months.
Morairity then changed his mind and led investigators directly to the remains on the County Road 4371 property.
Sheriff Lane Akin told WFFA indicated that statement may have been literally true, as the bodies were allegedly hidden away in the garage for “quite some time” — “probably 5-6 months.”

“They were covered and stowed away in the garage, but it wasn’t hard to find ’em. We don’t know exactly what the motive was, exactly how they were killed, but we know it was at his hand, ” “We do have a statement from him. As a result, we recovered two knives at the scene. But we are awaiting the autopsy results,” the sheriff said.
