Description

On an August morning in 1970, the battered body of a young woman was hoisted from a well just outside Hogansville. Author and investigator Clay Bryant was there, witnessing the macabre scene. Then 15, he was tagging along with his father, Buddy Bryant, Hogansville chief of police. The victim, Gwendolyn Moore, had been in a violent marriage but her husband had connections to a political machine that held sway over the Troup County Sheriff's Office overseeing the case. Decades later, Clay Bryant solved the case and discusses it and his book, Solving the West Georgia Murder of Gwendolyn Moore: A Cry From the Well.
