Bryant, H.E.C. (Red Buck)

Abstract:

Bryant continues his series of articles, this time recalling one of the most sensational murder cases ever tried in North Carolina. It was one of the most mysterious events to happen in Elizabeth City. Nellie M. Cropsey disappeared from her home on the night of November 20, 1901. Twenty-six days later her body was found in the river, and her suitor was charged with her murder. The trial attracted nationwide attention. Yet questions still remain over some details of the case.
