Overview

On the morning of September 26, 1974, the body of Fern Cowen Rodgers was discovered on the floor of her home in Searcy, Arkansas. The sixty-eight-year-old socialite was murdered, sometime in the night, by two bullets fired into her head. This is the story of that crime and the subsequent investigation and trials. It's a tragic tale that would eventually play out--in bits and pieces--in magazines and newspapers throughout the United States. Authors Deana Nall and Mike Allen provide a fresh look at the decades-old murder--based on court records, police documents, and personal interviews--showing exactly what happened in a crime that captured the attention of an entire state, and beyond.
