A True Story of Murder, Racism, and Relentless Pursuit of Justice
In 1984, five innocent children were murdered in Woodruff County, Arkansas. The case was quickly buried — evidence vanished, officials looked the other way, and justice seemed impossible.
But one man refused to stay silent. The Dark Secrets of Woodruff County reveals how author Kent Handy, the brother of the victims, spent over three decades fighting against a system that tried to erase his family’s story.
Through perseverance, courage, and faith, his search for truth finally led to a breakthrough in 2014 when residents came forward with confessions that exposed the truth.
