Most Band of the Sky conversations between Rich and Bill are off the cuff. One topic leads to another like ripples in a pond created by a rock thrown into its center. Today's conversation unrolls across four decades to the present year. In 2017, Phillip Stroupe II broke through a law enforcement perimeter headed by the then Henderson County Sheriff. Stroupe kidnapped and murdered a pillar of the Mills River community ultimately resulting in the Sheriff losing his job in the next election. In what was considered a law enforcement failure, and coupled with the murderous actions of a stone cold killer, 68 year old Tommy Bryson's body was left in an Arden corn field.
