True Crime Virginia / Book 4

The Charlottesville Files

Charlottesville and Central Virginia appear here through twenty-five cases spanning more than a century. The files move from the 1898 lynching of John Henry James to University of Virginia cases, missing-person investigations, an innocence pardon, civil-rights litigation, posthumous action, and recent guilty pleas. The narrative follows evidence and legal status carefully across Albemarle, Louisa, Nelson, Appomattox, and surrounding communities.
