Six defendants in a Godley prostitution and organized crime investigation pleaded not guilty Tuesday at a Johnson County courthouse.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Tuesday heard oral arguments on whether Tarrant County and several detention officers should be added back to Anthony Johnson Jr.鈥檚 wrongful death lawsuit. They were dismissed from the suit last year.

The former police chief of Godley, his mother and a local couple were all indicted as part of a prostitution bust. Here's what we know about the sprawling investigation.

Council member Moses Garcia and acting Police Chief Jesus Mancillas were arrested last week, the latest shakeup among leadership in the southern Dallas County city.

Mayra Velasquez, a 42-year-old real estate agent, was charged after police said DNA evidence linked her to the stabbing more than 14 years after. The victim, Irasema Chavez, was stabbed more than 100 times.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictments in a release Tuesday. Several of the defendants face life in prison.

Former longtime Plano ISD elementary teacher Paul Campbell, charged earlier this month with continuous sexual abuse of a child, now faces additional accusations.

Police have arrested Mayra Velasquez, 42, and charged her with capital murder. They say she killed Irasema Sanchez by stabbing her more than 100 times in 2012.
