FBI re-examines 1946 lynching case [audio 6min]

Just off a quiet highway about 50 miles east of Atlanta lies the Moore's Ford Bridge in rural Georgia. Sixty years ago, an angry white mob attacked two black couples near this bridge -- pulling them from a car, beating them and shooting them to death. The victims were George Dorsey, 28, his wife Mae Murray Dorsey, 23, his sister, Dorothy Dorsey Malcom, 20, and Roger Malcom, 24. President Harry Truman called for a federal investigation into the crime, known as the Moore's Ford lynching, but no one was ever prosecuted. Now, the FBI is re-examining the case. ~Website offers extended print story from reporter Kathy Lohr, plus excerpts from an interview with Laura Wexler, author of Fire in a Canebrake, who spent several years investigating the Moore's Ford lynching.
