The girl in the yellow scarf

A "Seven Dollar Secret" an impossible choice... In 1968, a young black woman was brutally murdered on the streets of Martinsville, Indiana. Carol Jenkins' stabbing death appeared racially motivated. For thirty years, there were no arrests. The case sat dormant until unsettled rumors, a family's pursuit of justice, and a new State Police Cold Case unit all came together to confront the past. Investigative Reporter, Sandra Chapman was on the case too, uncovering startling new facts, and prompting a break in the murder mystery that eluded so many for decades. A child witness, a long-held secret and the admirable determination of the victim's family all play into this suspenseful, dramatic true crime story. It's skillfully recounted by the reporter who lived it - and often told through the eyes of a daughter who had to make a painful choice - between her own father and the lives impacted by the Martinsville Mystery forever.--p. 4 of cover.
