The Murder of Five Year Old Myretta June Jones

When five year old Myretta Jones didn't return from the grocery store, her grandmother called her mother Lorene. Deputies and neighbors searched that night and came upon a gruesome discovery. Reminiscent of the 1956 movie, The Bad Seed, this case takes us way back to 1947 and the story of a young girl, Joyce Nichols, and her grizzly acts.
