I live just south of Memphis in North Mississippi, maybe 40 miles from where this murder happened. I am familiar with that county and I know the sorry Democrat district attorney a bit. If I weren’t on a deadline for another book, I’d consider working on this story. There are dozens of other Memphis-area and Mississippi-based writers. For instance, Ace Atkins is a renowned crime writer who lives outside of Oxford, Mississippi, mere minutes from Panola County. But he’s far from the only one. Shake a tree in Oxford and a writer will fall out. It won’t shock me at all if one of them delves into this case.
What we really need is cable news to get on it.
That’s very interesting. I know if a strange crime occurs in the Northeast (mostly the Washington State area) Ann Rule will write a book about it.
