Summary

In the early hours of August 27th, 1974, the security camera at North Carolina’s Beaufort County Jail was inexplicably not working. So when the night jailer, Clarence Alligood is found dead in 20-year-old Joan Little’s cell — everyone is left with a slew of unanswered questions. Why was Clarence Alligood in Joan Little’s cell? What had led to his murder? And where was Joan Little? Today’s episode explores a case that was too big and important to fit into one episode. The story continues with part 2 next Tuesday (July 6th). Today’s episode contains references to sexual assault. Please take care while listening. A full list of sources, resources mentioned, and photos related to the case are available in the show notes of today's episode, https://truercrimepodcast.com/joan-little-pt-1/  If you like Truer Crime, leave us a review!
