    About this ebook

    Ax assault, kidnapping, brutal murder: how could these things happen in a small town? Although regional crimes hardly ever make it to the national circuit, they will always remain with the families and communities of the victims and a part of the area's history. After working with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division as special agent/forensic photographer for twenty-four years, Rita Shuler has a passion for remembering the victims. In Small-town Slayings, Shuler takes us back in time, showing differences and similarities of crime solving in the past and present and some surprising twists of court proceedings, verdicts and sentences. From an unsolved case that has haunted her for thirty years to a cold case that was solved after fifteen years by advanced DNA technology, Shuler blends her own memories with extensive research, resulting in a fast-paced, factual and fascinating look at crime in South Carolina.

      Mary Sanchez: What’s justice for Emmett Till in 2022?

      Jul 6, 2022

      Emmett Till is as relevant today as when the 14-year-old was brutally murdered, nearly 67 years ago in 1955. This isn’t because a needle-in-a-haystack search of dusty old files recently turned up an unserved warrant. The document names the woman who

      I was a little disappointed in this. The cases were interesting but it seemed like there was a lot of repetition in including parts of the trials; info that had already been told in the synopsis of the crime. However the writing was good and as I said the cases were interesting and unknown to me.
