A Death at La Junta Army Air Field (1944)

S3E1: This episode is a "Call to Action" to help find additional information to determine the cause of circumstances surrounding the death of Pvt. Theodore W. Haley at the La Junta Army Air Field in 1944.  We will also touch on the murder of another solider from that same base, Waddell W. Keith Jr (1953), and Theodore's mother Lucy Conn (1930), and we will even learn about one of the first semo-pro baseball players of the Negro League Baseball, the first husband of Lucy Conn, Pearl Franklin "Specks" Webster.
