"Beyond A Reasonable Doubt‪"‬

Seven years ago, Lafouchefeye (lafooshfay) County, Mississippi, was rocked to its very core with the killing of its Sheriff, Jim Travis, and one of its prominent citizens. Dr. Angus Victor Caraway.

One man was found guilty, and sentenced to six years, never revealing any of his co-conspirators, both here, and Europe.

Jethro Lincoln Travis, the twin brother of Jim had gladly accepted the offer that the Mayor of Lafouchfeye County, and his committee presented to him. He resigned his job as Chief Cyber Security Analyst of Interpol International, out of London, England, and after the funeral of his brother, assumed full jurisdiction.

It was the first week of Spring. Lafouchfeye County was quiet. Jethro called his old friend, and military confident, Lead Detective Garrett Bennett of the 1109th Precinct in Beau Parrish, New Orleans, Louisiana. Jethro was taking a mini weekend vacation with his soon to be fiance and her Aunt Julia (Aunt Jewels) McKenna, a amateur sleuth, and retired registered nurse.

A anonymous call came in to the Sheriff’s office. Garrett slapped on the flashing red globe atop his black Camaro Meanwhile, Bea received a desperate phone call from Ms Sarah Jo Bailey-Crockett, owner and editor of The Lafouchfeye Ledger, about her former friend and husband, Andrew J. Crockett.

He was released with a full pardon because of a major technically in the Prosecution’s case, and a diligent group of Senior students from Harvard Law College. He served six years at Stockton Correctional Facility, Stockton, Florida, and returned to Lafouchfeye County, to reside.

Bennett approached the crime scene, snapped on his latex gloves, started taking photos, and joined Dr. Nathan Tate, Coroner and Forensic Pathologist of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “How long have they been dead?” asked Bennett.

“I’d say three/four days,” Tate answered.

Dr. Tate tucked his brush inside its case and said, “Bennett, have you ever checked out a ‘ear print?’ It’s just as unique as a fingerprint.”

Bennett’s police radio buzzed. His volunteer deputy Randy Cuevas had discovered a woman’s body partially submerged in a wooden coffin-like box with a rusty tin roof. She was still alive!

Receiving Bennett’s texts, Sheriff Travis, Bea, and Aunt Jewels immediately returned, and thus began a tale of hidden secrets, revenge, greed, and several attempts on Aunt Jewels life, plus a case of espionage that would involve the entire state of Mississippi!

It’s presumed everyone is innocent until proven guilty, however, it seems the evidence and. facts concerning Andrew J. Crockett, outweighs the truth and circumstance... ... ..... Beyond A Reasonable Doubt!
