Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In 1991, Jacquetta Thomas was murdered in Raleigh, North Carolina, leaving behind children, family, and decades of unanswered questions.In The Ghost of I-95, Sierra Pharr examines her mother's life, death, and the investigation that followed. Drawing on public records, forensic evidence, court documents, interrogation transcripts, historical research, and personal reflection, Pharr revisits a case marked by conflicting accounts, unanswered questions, and serious concerns surrounding the original investigation and the Raleigh Police Department.Gregory Taylor was convicted and spent 17 years in prison before being exonerated. His exoneration exposed significant problems with the original case, but it did not resolve the circumstances surrounding Jacquetta Thomas's death.Somewhere in North Carolina, there may still be ghosts walking among us-people who have never been brought to justice for crimes committed against Jacquetta Thomas and others whose stories remain unresolved.From Jacquetta's childhood and family roots to the social conditions of Raleigh in the early 1990s, the forensic evidence, the wrongful conviction, and the search for answers that followed, The Ghost of I-95 is a daughter's journey to understand her mother's life and preserve her memory.Jacquetta Thomas was more than a victim. She was a mother, daughter, sister, and woman whose life mattered. Her story deserves to be remembered.
