Download or read book Murder Creek written by Joe Formichella and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a chilly evening in fall of 1966, Annie Jean Barnes left her home in East Brewton, Alabama, to spend time at a secluded fishing camp owned by a local doctor. Less than forty-eight hours later she was hospitalized--beaten and abused. Within a week, she was dead. And, it would seem, willfully forgotten by the citizens of Brewton--the more prosperous area on the west side of Murder Creek--who soon came to refer to the fate of Jean Barnes as an "unfortunate incident."The 2003 publication of Suzanne Hudson's novel In a Temple of Trees raised the ghost of Annie Jean. Present at Hudson's premiere book signing in Brewton, Joe Formichella met Barnes' surviving children and became moved to tell the story in full. Who was culpable for their mother's death? The town physician who owned the camp? The authorities who mishandled the subsequent investigation? Had there been a cover-up? With so much evidence either contradictory or mysteriously missing, was there now any way to bring anyone to justice?Formichella, in seeking those answers, found instead a larger question: What would justice mean for a community built as though it were a functioning social model for certain principals set down in the deeply flawed Alabama state constitution--a document penned in 1901 by wealthy land-owners and politicians, seeking to keep the riff-raff at bay? Systems of justice, in Alabama, and throughout America, should be designed to protect precisely those citizens too poor to wield any kind of influence. This is the story of a breakdown in that system, a clarion call for its correction, and a ray of hope for those who have waited too long for the answer to the simple question: Who Beat Annie Barnes?"Murder Creek is an astounding story told powerfully and proudly. The unfolding facts pull the reader like a rip tide. I soon found myself engulfed in the quagmire of this real-life mystery story that wouldn't let go." -- Wayne Greenhaw, coauthor of The Thunder of Angels: The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the People Who Broke the Back of Jim Crow.Murder Creek was a national Forward Magazine and IPPY true-crime book of the year finalist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back To Midnight--set in the Deep South where mysteries are always buried deep. When a murder happens in the small town of Moulton, Alabama, most of the time the victim is lying on the ground with the murderer standing nearby with the smoking gun, but not this time. Deputy Nathan Oneal has a long list of suspects and very few clues. With an anxious sheriff and an ambitious DA, time is running out to find the killer. The family of the victim has little to say, except that perhaps a stranger has come to town and committed the murder. Deputy Oneal isn't buying this story, and neither is the sheriff. The people of Moulton aren't surprised there is a murder--they just wonder what took so long and which suspect will be arrested. But how can you pinpoint the murderer with such a long list of suspects and an even longer list of motives? Midnight--when the stars, moonlight, and lovers are out--and so is a murderer.

Download or read book Drifting Into Darkness written by Mark I. Pinsky and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tangled web of family dysfunction, fatal attraction, and greed wends its way from the elegant Southern mansions of old Montgomery, Alabama, to the New Age salons of Boulder and rural, windswept Wyoming in Drifting Into Darkness, a true saga of bloodshed and betrayal. Two grisly murders—a brutal double parricide—a suicide, and a fourth death under suspicious circumstances. Drifting Into Darkness is a tangled tale of family dysfunction, fatal attraction, and greed, a saga that wends its way from the elegant Southern mansions of Montgomery, Alabama, to the New Age salons of Boulder, Colorado, to rural, windswept Wyoming. On Thanksgiving weekend in 2004, philanthropists Charlotte and Brent Springford Sr.―a wealthy, socially prominent Montgomery couple―were brutally beaten to death with an ax handle, echoing the infamous case of Lizzie Borden. Suspicion quickly fell on the Springfords' gifted but troubled son Brent Jr., who would be tried and sentenced to life without parole. But a mystery remained: Who was the mysterious, elusive woman who claimed to be a Native American shaman that investigators believed manipulated Brent into this murder? Journalists solving murders is a time-tested trope in movies, mysteries, and on television. But cops and cop reporters know that rarely happens in real life. Except when it does. Veteran crime reporter Mark I. Pinsky, who covered the sensational cases of serial killer Ted Bundy and Green Beret Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, broke the cardinal rule of journalism by involving himself in the story. Pinsky’s extensive research prompted investigators to invite him to join their dogged pursuit of justice. His access to unique and heart-breaking behind-the-scenes material enables him to take readers with him into the troubled, tortured minds of the case's main players.

Download or read book Historic Alabama Bells written by Thomas Kaufmann and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After seven years of climbing into attics, domes, towers and steeples, Thomas Kaufmann emerges with a story of Alabama bells. This story encapsulates the history of the state itself. These bells - some dormant, others pealing still - were forged by the Reveres in Boston. They called Alabamians to worship, celebrated weddings and tolled at funerals. They sounded the death knell for countless parishioners during the havoc of the Civil War, watched over the Freedom Riders and shook from the blast of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing. And while their clear tones have rung out in remembrance of so many of the state's solemn and sacred moments, many of these bells have fallen into neglect, their silence serving as its own reminder of the urgent need for preservation.
