WHO KILLED RACHEL CROOK?

Episode 3: Thanks for the Memories

A 27 Views Podcast

In 1952, bulldozer operator Hobart Lee faced a jury of his peers at the highly charged murder trial of Chapel Hillian Rachel Crook. The previous August, the beloved 71-year-old woman had been found murdered and initial reports were that she'd been raped.

In Episode Three, "Thanks for the Memories," of the “Who Killed Rachel Crook?” podcast, Lee is on trial for his life after a preliminary hearing found probable cause that he had committed the killing and an unusual jury selection process. The testimony seemed to favor the prosecution. And then there’s a bombshell.

“Who Killed Rachel Crook” is a special 4-part podcast series. The series is narrated by 27 Views podcast producer and writer Elizabeth Woodman. Dramatization in this episode is read by Nancy Demorest, Jill McCorkle, James Rainsford, Sam Coleman, Jim Parker, Eryk Pruitt, John Bemis, James Rives, Kent Davis, Randall Roden, and Tom Rankin. Commentary by retired North Carolina District Court Judge Alonzo Coleman.
