In 1929, deep in the remote hills of the Arkansas Ozarks, the gruesome murder of harmonica-playing drifter Connie Franklin and the brutal rape of his teenage fiancée shocked a nation already teetering on the brink of the Great Depression. Newspapers from coast to coast sensationalized the case, painting vivid portraits of night-riding moonshiners, ruthless “Barons of the Hills,” and a feudal way of life hidden in the isolation of the rugged Ozarks. When five local men were arrested for the crimes, the trial became a tangled web of confusion, superstition, and small-town intrigue, giving Stone County a brief but notorious place in American true crime history.
