For many decades the murder of Carol Jenkins, a young Black woman
from Rushville, Indiana, remained unsolved and a cold
case. In September 1968 Carol was murdered in
Martinsville, Indiana, a known sundown town. In 2001, a
series of revelations began to unfold involving former
investigative reporter, Sandra Chapman, who is Nelson's guest for this
show. She was left a chilling voice message that helped solve the
case. Sandra discusses the case and her role in helping discover
what actually happened on that evening in September 1968. Sandra
produced a documentary, “The Girl in the Yellow Scarf”, about the infamous
case and its aftermath. It is now on a broadcast run on PBS
stations.
