On this week’s episode we interview retired Chattanooga Police Department Homicide Inspector Tim Carroll about his investigation of the 1978 murder of William B. Tatum and the serious wounding of his girlfriend Nancy Hilton.

In the summer of 1978, Nancy Hilton, 18, and William Tatum, 20, enjoyed a movie date at the Martin Theatre in Downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee.  Following the film, they decided to grab a bite at a nearby Pizza Hut.  After spending about 20 minutes inside, they left the restaurant and headed towards their car in the parking lot.  Tragedy struck as they approached their vehicle -a sudden shotgun blast hit Tatum, fatally injuring him.  Hilton was also wounded but managed to survive the attack.  The crime scene investigation uncovered two 12-gauge shotgun shells, but no further leads were found, and the case went cold.

Seventeen years later, a chilling phone call was received at the Chattanooga Police Homicide Division, reigniting the case.  On the other end of the line was a sinister voice, stirring up old wounds and raising new questions about the unsolved mystery.  This is Just One More Question.

On this week’s episode we catch up with Author McCracken Poston and talk with him about the success of his first novel “Zenith Man: Death, Love and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom.”  Long-time listeners of the show will remember that Ken was our very first guest, and we wanted to touch base with him about his journey as a successful author.  Ken’s book has been nominated for this year’s CrimeCon Clue Award.  The CLUE Awards celebrate outstanding projects that embody a strong commitment to leadership, understanding, and excellence.

On this week’s episode we interview author Dr. William Rawlings about his book, Six Inches Deeper, The Disappearance of Helen Hanks. On August 31, 1972, Hellen Hanks, a pretty, thirty-four-year-old mother of three disappeared from her place of employment at Wilcox Advertising in the far-south Georgia town of Valdosta. After a brief investigation by local and state authorities, the case went cold. In the fall of 1980, a farmer clearing a field south of town discovered a buried object, a box containing the dismembered remains of the missing woman. After several months of investigation, police arrested "Foxy" Wilcox, his son Keller Wilcox, and two long-term employees of Wilcox Advertising. Keller was charged with Hanks' murder and the others with concealing a death. Keller and Foxy were members of a prominent and wealthy Valdosta family. To defend their case, they hired famed defense attorney, Bobby Lee Cook of Summerville in northwest Georgia. Keller Wilcox's murder trial in January 1982 pitted Cook against a local prosecution team led by district attorney Lamar Cole. The case against Wilcox was entirely circumstantial, making the outcome uncertain. After a trial marked by controversy and conflicting testimony, Wilcox was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, all the while proclaiming his innocence. This true story has all the elements of intrigue: money, power, sex, race, the haves vs. the have-nots, and death.  This is Just One More Question.

On this week’s episode we interview author Clay Bryant about his book, Solving the West Georgia Murder of Gwendolyn Moore; A Cry from The Well.  On a sultry August morning in 1970, the battered body of a young woman was hoisted from a dry well just outside Hogansville, Georgia. Author and investigator Clay Bryant was there as a young man of 15, witnessing the macabre scene, as he was tagging along with his father, Buddy Bryant, Hogansville Chief of Police. The victim, Gwendolyn Moore, had been in a violent marriage. That was no secret. But her husband had connections to a political machine that held sway over the Troup County Sheriff's Office overseeing the case. To the dismay and bafflement of many, no charges were brought. That is, until Bryant followed his father's footsteps into law enforcement, and a voice cried out from the well three decades later.

Clay Bryant was born and raised in Troup County, Georgia.  After high school, he began a career in law enforcement in 1973 as a radio operator with the Georgia State Patrol.  In 1976 at the age of twenty-one, he became trooper on the Georgia State Patrol.  While with the State Patrol, he attended Dekalb College, Brenau University, and graduated from the Woodrow Wilson School of Law.  In June 1980, after the unexpected death of his father, he became Police Chief of Hogansville, Georgia and stayed in that position until 1992.  In 2002, he was employed as an investigator for the District Attorney’s Office in the five-county Coweta Judicial Circuit.  He currently serves as an Investigator for the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council.

Bryant’s reputation for clearing seemingly impossible crimes from the past garnered him national recognition.  During his four years as an investigator for the District Attorney’s Office in the five-county Coweta Judicial Circuit, he was reportedly the most prolific cold case investigator in the country for instances of single event homicides.

On this week’s show we interview Walker County Georgia Sheriff Steve Wilson.  Sheriff Wilson has held his office since January 1, 1997, and this year is seeking re-election for his eighth term as sheriff. He has been in law enforcement for 48 years.  Following a three-year stint at FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC as a Fingerprint Examiner, he returned to Lafayette, Georgia and was employed with the Georgia Department of Corrections, the Lafayette, Georgia Police Department, and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy sheriff, detective, and commander of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force before being elected sheriff.

 Sheriff Wilson is very active in his community, serving as a committee member for BEAT, (Business and Education Alliance Together), as president of The Al Millard Stocking Full of Love, as a trustee on the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes Foundation, and a member of the Blood Assurance North Georgia Advisory Board. In addition, he serves as a deacon at Oakwood Baptist Church in Chickamauga, Georgia.

As a follow-up to Episode 2 with Jodi Lowery and her book about moonshiners and whitecappers and Episode 3 with Marnie Pehrson and her book, An Uncertain Justice, about the last legal hanging in Georgia, we talk to Sheriff Wilson about his own law enforcement knowledge regarding the history of moonshiners in Walker County Georgia, as well as the similarities he sees between moonshining in the past and the drug trade of today! Also, we discuss the changes he has seen in law enforcement concerns and practices in his six decades of experience.

On this week’s episode, we interview author Marnie L. Pehrson about her book, An Uncertain Justice.  In March 1922, Walker County Sheriff’s Deputy Joseph Morton was shot and killed after being confronted by two known moonshiners. The suspects, brothers aged 14 and 18, approached Deputy Morton and asked if he had a warrant for their arrest. When Deputy Morton responded that he did not, the brothers assaulted him. A struggle ensued, during which the older brother pulled a weapon and fatally shot Deputy Morton. Soon after, the national media ignited a frenzy amongst boys’ organizations across the country, coaxing the governor to consider a stay of execution for the two youths responsible for this crime. This riveting true story about the last legal hanging in Georgia captured the attention of a nation, but, more importantly, it racked the soul of a boy who dearly loved his grandfather. How does one deal with the long-lasting effects of murder? Does a punishment ever fit the crime? Is it possible, or even necessary, to forgive a murderer? The answers to these questions and more can be found in An Uncertain Justice, a look into the scope of justice and mercy that will make you question what you believe.
