When she disappeared, her father did everything to find her, but what he uncovered not only changed his life – it changed everything.

In 1925 Detroit, Michigan a Black family moved into a White neighborhood. A 
mob attacked their home with rocks, and one man was killed. 10 men went to trial for first-degree murder. With Clarence Darrow leading the defense, the attorneys and the NAACP had to convince an all-White jury that defending one's home was not a crime, but a right.

Please Be Advised: There's a graphic description of a child's murder

If you want love, you might advertise. That was certainly true in 1908 La Porte, Indiana when a Norwegian immigrant went looking for a mate in the newspaper’s Lonely-Hearts section. But it didn’t lead to love, it led to murder – and lots of it.

Love the movie “His Girl Friday”? It’s tied to a 1920 murder in Chicago where two newspaper men looked behind the headlines to get the real story of a double homicide in the entryway to a home.
