In this episode of Mountain State Mysteries, we dive into the life and legacy of Sid Hatfield, the fearless police chief who became a symbol of resistance during the bloody labor wars of West Virginia. Nest known for his role in the 1920 Matewan Massacre, Hatfield stood against powerful coal companies and their hired enforcers, refusing to bow to corruption and intimidation. But his defiance came at a price.
