About this listen
In 1989, something changed in Smyth County, Virginia.
What began as separate acts of violence slowly began to feel connected, stretching across back roads, county lines, and even state borders. A convenience store clerk. A fire hall dance. A Forest Service employee who survived long enough to identify her attacker.
As investigators compared notes and courtrooms filled, convictions followed. But not every case was tried. Not every family heard a verdict read out loud.
More than three decades later, the legal outcomes are part of the record. The memory is still part of the place.
This episode explores the summer that shifted a mountain community, and the difference between closure on paper and resolution in real life.
