Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Joseph Earl Marshall was a 30-year-old white male patrolman with the Wichita Police Department, a motorcycle officer who had spent two years on the force and built a life with his wife and their two children in Kansas. In the late summer of 1927, he took his place in the sidecar of a police motorcycle beside Officer Frank Bush, doing the kind of routine night patrol that had become familiar to him, unaware that the shift would end with his name etched permanently into the city’s history.
