11 YEAR OLD MURDERED IN 1957
Myrtle Styles Hembree, an 11 year old girl, was raped and brutally murdered in July 1947 in the small community of Una near Spartanburg, SC.
She had been picking blackberries with her parents, went to a nearby store, and was later found beaten to a pulp in a closet of an abandoned house.
Despite an intensive search including bloodhounds and nearly 100 officers, no one was ever charged with the crime.
Would love to have contact with anyone who is familiar with this case.
