Episode 8: Can't Rock This Boat

Jul 29, 2014

In March 1964, a 35-year-old African American woman named Johnnie Mae

Chappell was walking along the side of the road in Jacksonville,

Florida. Four white men were driving around listening to the local race

riots on the radio. They had a gun on the dashboard. As they passed

Chappell, one of the men leaned out the car window and shot her to

death. As the police investigated, evidence began to

mysteriously disappear, making it impossible to punish the men who

admitted to committing the crime.
