Iola Eroding Justice EP:1 Iola 1969
September 30, 1969, a 28-year-old married mother raising 2 children named Betty Cantrell worked the early morning shift at the Dine Out Cafe. Betty was the only person working the overnight shift, she would wait on customers and then also prepare their meals. There would not be another employee arriving until 5a.m. It was a passing police officer doing his morning rounds said he saw the cafe was opened around 4:30-4:45 am. Betty sitting at a small 2 top table listening to her small portable transistor radio as usual. When the next employee arrived at 5:00 am he noticed the sign was closed and that Betty’s car was not there. Assuming something must have happened and she had to leave and would have locked the door he realized that he did not have
keys so he turned back walked back home. When he returned, he discovered that the door was opened although the lights were off. Upon walking in he immediately noticed what appear to be blood droplets. Betty was nowhere to be found, when he looked around, he noticed that the cash drawer was open. The money was missing expect for the coins out of the cash register. The cafe was back open for the breakfast diners while the search was on for Betty.
