In the sweltering summer heat of 1900, a gruesome discovery shook the quiet town of Helena, Arkansas. The mutilated body of Virginia Brown, a 30-year-old negro woman, was found lying by a pile of lumber near her plantation home. Her throat had been brutally cut, and her head was almost severed from her body. It was a crime that would send shockwaves through the community and leave a trail of bloodlust in its wake.
