Between 1997 and 1998, a wave of violence shook one Kentucky county to its core. Over just seven months, nine people were brutally murdered in six separate incidents—spiking the county’s murder rate to 27% in a population of only 35,000. For a brief and terrifying period, this rural county held the highest murder rate in the entire United States.
