And the Last time on our three-part series, Hell's Square Mile, Walter Knut draws the

ire of his community through disruptive coal mining and contracting a dump to the

city of Reevesville.

After several months of suspicious occurrences, including the death of his dog,

equipment sabotage, multiple fires, and break-ins at his home, Walter is eventually murdered.

His sister Mabel takes up the cause of finding the killer or killers.

One of Walter's employees, Herb Willie, is put on trial for his murder with his drunken confessions as the only evidence.

After a mistrial, the judge advised against a retrial and Herb returned to the jail where he was serving

a sentence for assault. In the final episode of this three-part series,

Tim and Becky discover a new potential motive,

opening up an entirely new story from Hell's Square Mile.

From chromatic media in Morgantown, West Virginia, this is Appalachian Mysteria. Herb Willy's mistrial fed into Mabel's distrust of officials handling the case. It was at this point

that she felt she'd exhausted all options. Once again, she took to the typewriter and wrote a

six-page letter to Sheriff Charles Dodd.

In it, she outlined the issues she had with Marion County's investigation and her suspicions

of corruption within the department.

Quote, I do not believe the suspect Herbert Willis would ever have been charged with the crime if the election hadn't been in the near future

And while I did not and do not agree with Trooper Wick or anyone else that he is the sole guilty one I am not at all sure that he may not have been involved in taking the rap for someone else for money, question mark.

Unquote. Speckled throughout Mabel's journal entries over many years was her frustration with not having a car.

With the options she had at home, where there was no internet, she worked to find new clues,

but she felt that if she had access to the farm whenever she wanted, she could have done more and

gotten farther than the police had.
