Spears, M. B.

The most notorious unsolved murder in our state's fraught history went down in Darlington County in the 4th Judicial District of South Carolina in the dark of April 3, 1952. This book is a protest and an anniversary token, published exactly 63 years after the killing night. The recollections of many who experienced the crime and its investigation close up and variously are woven into UNSOLVED. They are therefore included in this Author Biography of UNSOLVED: A Murder in the Solid South. What difference, at this point, does an political murder from the past make? More than you might think.
