UPDATED RE-RELEASE: Carolina Girls, Part 1: Missing and Murdered

Timica James promised local authorities that she would keep her family from conducting their own investigation into the death of her son, Moses “Fat Man” Williams Jr., if local authorities solved his case within ten years; on February 5th 2022, that date will pass, with Moses’ murder still unsolved.  In part two of our deep dive into the life and death of Moses Williams Jr, and the far-reaching effects his murder has had on his family and community, we look at how much is known about Moses’ possible killers--and what it may take to resolve his case.   Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Submit a case to The Fall Line: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/case-submissions   Be sure to check out Generation Why from Wondery!

On Super Bowl Sunday, 2012, a gunshot rang out across the darkened streets of Aiken, SC--and 19-year-old Moses “Fat Man” Williams Jr., a popular former high-school football star, slumped in the driver’s seat of his car.Though his girlfriend and her sister were no more than a hundred feet away, and he was parked in a busy neighborhood, no one could—or would—say who’d shot the young father, who worked seven days a week to support his family. But his mother, Timica James, was determined to find out.  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Go to babbel.com and get six months of Babbel for the price of three!

In over a century’s worth of investigation into the unsolved murders attributed to the unknown killer called “Jack the Ripper,” little real attention has been paid to the five canonical victims--they’ve been treated as objects for dissection, not human beings with full lives.  Author and historian Hallie Rubenhold, who published The Five in 2019 and is releasing the podcast Bad Women: The Ripper Retold with Pushkin, aims to change that narrative, and question why we’ve been so comfortable with it, and its implications, all along.   Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Go to  CALM.COM/fallline, you’ll get a limited time offer of 40% off a Calm Premium Subscription, which includes hundreds of hours of programming.

We dive into Georgia and South Carolina’s cold cases with investigative reporter Renetta DuBose, whose grandmother’s unsolved murder is the driving force behind her own passion to help solve the Southeast’s forgotten cases.   Renetta also discusses what takes some cases—like the disappearance and murder of Gabby Petito—into the national news spotlight more than others, and how the structure of media itself affects what stories are told.
