Historical Context and Its Impact on Cold Cases
The Deep South's history is deeply intertwined with periods of intense racial tension and civil rights struggles. During the civil rights era, numerous violent crimes, particularly those against African Americans, were inadequately investigated or deliberately ignored by law enforcement agencies. This neglect has resulted in a backlog of unsolved cases that persist to this day. Efforts like the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board have been established to address these historical injustices by releasing federal investigations into unresolved cases from that era, aiming to provide clarity to the victims' families and the public.
Statistical Overview of Homicide Clearance Rates
Analyzing recent data reveals that certain states in the Deep South exhibit notably low homicide clearance rates. For instance, from 2013 to 2022, South Carolina had a murder clearance rate of 66.4%, with 4,281 murders and 2,844 cases solved. Similarly, Virginia reported a clearance rate of 65.0% during the same period, with 4,538 murders and 2,950 cases solved. These figures underscore the challenges faced by law enforcement in resolving homicides in the region. ...Read More

I have always known the law and powerful people were involved in Kenny's murder. After he went missing I was fallowed and stalked by people, some looked like cops or undercover investigators and some looked like crooks, mobsters and drug dealers. And the law have never questioned me or asked me anything about what happened even though I know all of this information. I know that there are still people out there who want to shut me up. Cops have never tried to help me with the investigation they've only harrassed me and put bogus charges on me and have literally tried to pin stuff on me and send me to jail. When Ive tried to talk about Kenny to cops they either played dumb and wanted no part of it had 0 interest or they literally ignored me and acted as if I was not even speaking all while attempting to railroad me and lock me up. I have never even done drugs and I've always tried to live a legal abiding life. I'm now a father and husband works and makes an honest living.

In larger quantity than was actually legal for people to buy over the table from the pharmacy. Because sudophedrine was a main ingredient for making meth. This guy made so much money so fast from this illegal scam he was running that he Invested money into opening a franchised gas station. He built one location in Harrisburg just after Kenny went missing the construction crew was hired to start laying down the concrete foundation for the gas station. The crew that was hired was ran by and guy who was directly involved in the selling of meth and was a direct affiliate of Twinkies. I believe Kennys remains may have been put in the concrete of that gas station in Harrisburg. And the people running that are so rich and powerful and have the law and the judges and every body and everything In their pockets. It would literally take a miracle and some kind of super lawyer and the power of the federal goverment to ever expose this thing and bring criminals to justice and find out the truth.

Around new years I went to my mom's house in Jonesboro, a few days after new years my grandmother, Kenny's mom called me asking if I had seen Kenny, I told her the last time I had seen him was the night he came back from Twinkies after getting into a fight. As I talked to people around town and people who knew Kenny and were last around him all said he was headed to Twinkies house, but supposedly there was a cop there who was involved in Chandlers drug operation Wich was the same ring we were involved in at one time. It was said that they shot and killed Kenny and disposed of his body and several people were supposedly involved in the murder and the cover up. People who were involved in the drug operation who also had a lot of money and power.
