In this edition of Bring It On!, hosts, Clarence Boone and Gloria Howell, spend the hour with investigative reporter and documentarian, Sandra Chapman.
In 2001, Chapman aired on WISH-TV in Indianapolis a series of reports on the murder of Carol Jenkins. Jenkins was murdered on September 16, 1968, after a day of selling encyclopedias in Martinsville; thus, becoming known as a ‘sundown town’. After the airing of these reports, Chapman would later receive a phone call from a woman who claims to have seen her murder.
Eventually, this phone call led to discovering who Carol Jenkins’ murderer was. In 2011, Chapman published The Girl in the Yellow Scarf, a book about the murder of Carol Jenkins and the work of the efforts of Martinsville’s cold case unit to solve this case. She would later make a documentary with the same name. Tonight Sandra Chapman is here to discuss the murder and what led her to investigate this cold case.
