Oct 18, 2018: Vanity Fair: Inside One Police Chief’s Hunt for Justice in a Pair of Unsolved Mississippi Murders
On a sunny Sunday, while on assignment for a travel magazine, I join the congregation at Rosedale’s Riverside United Baptist Church. A drummer pounds out stomping rhythms as the gospel choir wails. Men wear crisp, natty suits. Women dance in white lace dresses and peach-colored gowns. As church lets out, a man walks over and introduces himself as Anthony Gibson, the chief of police in Beulah, the next town over. Having overheard that I am a journalist, he says he has a story for me. Lately, he explains, he has been looking into some cold-case homicides in which two victims, in separate incidents, had been killed with the branch of a pecan tree. One key suspect is a man who will soon be released from prison. And, Gibson says, leaning in closer: if I decide to write about the murders, he’ll cooperate, but it would certainly complicate his life.
