There are certain expectations when you grow up the oldest girl in a family of eleven. I'd always made a real effort to meet those demands and more. After all, I couldn't ask for better parents than Ruth and Ed Thompson. They didn't have a lot of money, but they made up for it in love and support.

On July 26, 1963, in the small Southern Appalachian town of Franklin, North Carolina, life was calm and peaceful. The succeeding three days to come, and the decades that chased them like a runaway train, would not only disturb that calm and shatter that peace, they would cast a shadow over the small town that has yet to dissipate with the light of day. Frances Bullock, a lovely forty-year-old widow who had been missing for three days, was found stabbed to death in her home-an immediate and irreversible collective innocence was lost. Many residents of the mountain town locked their doors for the very first time. Rumors of the wicked murder flew with the rapidity of a flock of birds through the telephone lines, over café counters and into ears leaning in close to take in the whispered words. Fifty years later, on a late-night paranormal radio show broadcast out of Little Rock, Arkansas, the mysterious cold case of Frances Bullock is unearthed revealing the horrors, the hauntings, the secrets, and the sins-with suspects and suspicions ranging from cast-off lovers all the way to the John F. Kennedy Administration. Views: 675
