Speaker 1 (00:03):
I get a lot of emails about cold cases all
the time, and this one the first. I was kind
of struck by the fact it's another girl. It's another
situation where there are a lot of suspects. Usually when
I look at a story, I can tell in the
first five minutes what probably happened. But this one is
really strange. My sister was like the B group and

(00:27):
the other girls were the A group, and that's kind
of like how they treated her. Jennie Ward was sixteen
years old when she died under mysterious circumstances. She was
at a party at a cabin in the woods in
the small town of Marshall, Arkansas. When I went and
saw my daughter, but there in the lord and when

(00:50):
I had to fill over her neck and her head
kind of rolled like that. Her hair was purpul up,
the heir was purple. Love my finister like this, and
this stuff kept coming out. It was like sand and down.
I was told she fell off his porch. There's a

(01:10):
cause of death, and then there's a manner, right, and
it went from manner fall up the porch and cause
I know too, manner undetermined, cause undetermined, and that's homicide.
What they done is they washed her and they cleaned
her up. When I saw her, I was by the

(01:36):
story that she fell off a little porch. It's only
about the eight come my daughter was beaten to death.
I'm Catherine Townsend and I'm heading back to Arkansas on
a new case to find out what happened to Jennie
Wharton on September nine. It's not just a victim. In

(02:00):
the victims family, it's the worst for them, but there's
also the people who were accused, and it's never cleared
one way or the other. Really, when there's no justice done,
it hurts a lot of people of her, the whole town.
