The true story of the horrific murder of a mother and daughter in rural Alabama—and the cop who wouldn’t rest until she closed the case . . . Includes photos.
“The worst I’ve ever seen”—that’s how Sheriff Cecil Reed described the July 7, 1995 slayings of Carolyn Headrick, forty-four, and her mother Dora Ann Dalton, sixty-two.
