The 1983 KFC Massacre (Darkest Night in Texas History)

Описание: September 23, 1983, started as a typical Friday night in Kilgore, Texas, but it ended in a nightmare that would haunt the state for over four decades. Five young souls—Mary Tyler, Opie Hughes, Joey Johnson, David Maxwell, and Monte Landers—were simply trying to finish their shift at the local KFC. They were friends, children, and coworkers with their whole lives ahead of them. Instead, they were forced into a vehicle at gunpoint and driven to a remote oil field, where they were executed and left in the tall grass.

For 42 years, the town of Kilgore lived with a hole in its heart. We look past the police files and into the lives of the "KFC Five." We talk about the terror of an empty restaurant found with the lights still on and the fryers still warm, and the agony of the families who waited half a lifetime for a name to put to the "Third Man." From the initial discovery of the bodies in the Rusk County bean field to the DNA breakthroughs that finally identified Romeo Pinkerton and Darnell Hartsfield, this is more than a crime report.

It is a tribute to five people who were much more than just victims. We examine the forensic evidence that sat in a box for decades, the botched leads that led to a "42-year silence," and the moment the community finally got the closure it deserved. This is the story of the night the music stopped in Kilgore and the long, slow walk toward justice for the souls left in the oil field.
