Part 2: The Murder of T.K. Harty


Listen Later

Someone had confessed to the murder of Athens businessman T.K. Harty in 1977. Who? Oven repairman Elmo Florence. This week, host Cameron Jay sits down with Mr. Reinhold, who heard first-hand the account Elmo gave of his fatal encounter with T.K. on August 30, 1977.

But Elmo Florence had not only implicated himself. He said he had been hired by Harty's business rival John Mooney- T.K. Harty’s business rival and the owner of Somebody’s Pizza. In the second half of this episode, Mooney’s business partner Jimmy Dunnett tells of the John he knew, and the demise of T.K. Harty that he saw coming.

A story of twists and turns, Part 2 sets the story up to take listeners to the trials of Elmo Florence and John Mooney-- and the aftermath full of surprises.
