Lansdale Trial on Previous Charge Delayed

GREGG COUNTY — A Gladewater man, arrested last week for killing his parents, had his trial on an unrelated matter delayed. Casey Lansdale, 41, of Gladewater, had been scheduled to appear before a judge Monday on a charge of assault causing bodily injury/family violence. KETK reports that trial has been delayed until March 28th. Judicial records show Casey has a history of family violence. He was previously charged with assault/family violence in December 2014 and again seven month later.

Last Friday morning, the Gladewater Police Department responded to a North Main Street home for a welfare check on a couple reported missing. Officers spoke with Lansdale who said he lived at this residence and the two missing individuals were his parents. Officers located the bodies Raye and Charles Lansdale, both 68, inside of the home. Casey Lansdale was arrested and booked into the Gregg County Jail on a charge of murder. His bond was set at $1,000,000.
