Overview

""Murder Among The White Oaks: The True Story of the Murder of Little Roy Rickey"" is a chilling and deeply researched account of one of Kentucky's most heartbreaking and long-overlooked tragedies. On a quiet day in 1932, the small Appalachian community of Soldier, Kentucky, was shaken to its core when the lifeless body of 10-year-old Roy Rickey was discovered in a wooded hollow. His brutal death and the mystery surrounding it stunned the region and haunted generations. Author Joe Clark, with contributions from Lonnie Tackett Jr., Bert Brun, and John McGill Jr., pieces together the life of young Roy, the circumstances of his death, and the search for justice that followed. Through historical documents, court records, personal interviews, and on-the-ground investigation, this book not only revisits a crime that time nearly forgot-it honors the memory of a boy whose life was tragically cut short. Murder Among The White Oaks is more than just a true crime story. It's a powerful exploration of justice, community, and the enduring scars left behind by a single, senseless act.
