Welcome to True Crime to Go. What can I get for you?

Yeah, I really want an order of, like, justice that's been carried out incorrectly, but I want it really old,

like a hundred years old.

Pull up to the second window and we'll see you next crime.

Welcome to true crime to go.

I am John here with Jamie.

How are you doing, man?

Doing pretty good at, like, I don't know,

it hit me kind of weird that this was a hundred years ago because, yes, well before my time,

but still. So it's kind of weird. And it's from my hometown. I'd never heard of this,

but it is certainly wild. And I think this is a perfect use of true crime to go. But like, I'm pretty sure my grandma was alive during this. So to think of that as 100 years ago, thinking it should be in a history book. I don't know. It just hits weird, man. Yeah, this was all the way back in the 1920s.

I know that my my grandparents were not alive then, but my great grandparents would have been.

And this involved a missing teenager, a body that was found in an abandoned mind, a wrongful

conviction, and then some stuff that will just leave your brain kind of wanting some more.

So why don't you get the ball rolling, man?

On August 23rd of 1925 in a small town of Coxston, Kentucky, which calling that a town is

generous.

I was going to say, does that even still exist today? Do you know where this is at?

Yeah, like essentially it has its own zip code that's different from Harlan and Everts, which it's right between the two of them, but it's not like their business is there and that kind of thing. People just live there. So you lived in Everts, so this is half-like... I lived in Putney, Okay.

Which is just like Coxedim, except it's between Harlan and Cumberland.

All right.
