MEXIA, TX â A homeless veteran was found dead in the small town of Mexia. The 81-year-old is suspected of freezing to death in the cab of his run-down truck, but the story doesn t end there. The community wants his story told so that no veteran dies alone.
In February, a winter storm unlike ever before hit Mexia hard. As the town moved into emergency mode, 81-year-old Robert Wack was in the cab of his 18 wheeler with no heat and no calls for help.
