S19 Ep58: When Cicadas Cry: Murder, Death Row & Racial Tensions in The Deep South w/Caroline Cleveland
True Crime Tuesday Presents:  When Cicadas Cry: Murder, Death Row & Racial Tensions in The Deep South with Author, Caroline Cleveland!

In WHEN CICADAS CRY, Zach Stander, a young lawyer with a checkered past, gets a phone call that will change his life. It’s Elijah Jenkins, an older Black man he met while giving a one-day free legal clinic in rural Colleton County. A white woman has been bludgeoned to death with an altar cross at the New Hope Baptist Church out on Cicada Road. Eli’s grandson Samuel was arrested after authorities found him kneeling over her body, covered in blood. Eli insists his grandson is innocent and begs Zach to take on his defense. The low country is fraught with racial tension, the victim’s family has deep roots in the community, and the local solicitor is powerful and influential.  Zach’s life is already in shambles from his past mistakes, and he has reservations about taking on such high odds. But when Addie Stone, a private investigator—and Zach’s fiancée—convinces him that saving young Sam might be the only path to redemption, Zach gathers his courage. At the same time, Addie investigates a local cold case—two young women were murdered on quiet Edisto Beach, an hour southeast of Walterboro. The killer left no trace, and thirty-four years later, their deaths are still unsolved. As Addie sifts through the evidence, she wonders if there might be a connection to the present-day murder. So many long-buried secrets…would someone kill again to keep them?
