Gary Wayne Corporon
Gary Wayne Corporon was born on January 5, 1955, in Wharton County, TX, to parents Willie Lawrence Corporon and Nancy Charlene McConnell. On June 6, 1982, Gary's mother, Nancy Charlene McConnell, was found dead in her bedroom, having been shot by a .22 gun. Two suspects were identified in the case, Gary, who was in business with his mother, and Charlene's boyfriend. Gary's father, Willie Lawrence Corporon, had previously died in an accident. Rumors circulated that Gary had been abusive to his mother, and that Charlene was planning to break up with her boyfriend. See original report of Charlene's death at Verdict Pending In Death. Gary was indicted by a grand jury for his mother's murder, but the police thought that he had been cleared by the grand jury, and he was erroneously released from jail. See an article about the "mix-up" at Cold Justice Uncovers 31 Year Old Murder Indictment. No further developments have occurred since 2013, and as of May 2023,, no one has been brought to trial for Charlene's murder.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
