Back discussing his latest book, the “most prolific cold case investigator in the United State for single-event homicides,” Chief Clay Bryant is here, chatting w. Jill about his newest book, on the murder of Vieng Phovixay. A young woman, with a harrowing family history, Vieng is poised on the brink of truly living the American Dream, when she suddenly went missing, her family stricken with fear and deep foreboding. Two years later, their beloved daughter and sister’s decomposing body was found. Inexplicably, her case went cold, a bureaucracy ground slowly ahead, justice crushed under its weight—Until Clay Bryant learned of the case and set the matter right once again.
We loved Clay Bryant’s two previous books, covered in Episodes 66-69: Solving the West Georgia Murder of Gwendolyn Moore- A Cry from the Well, and The Cold Case Murder of Fred Wilkerson- Untangling the Black Widow’s Web in West Georgia. Do not miss this latest book- Out Now! It's a perfect holiday gift, stocking stuffer or Secret Santa!
