New Evidence Collected in 1946 Murder

New evidence collected in 1946 lynching case
CNN - USA
In a written statement, the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said they collected several items on a property in rural Walton County, Georgia, ...

"On July 25, 1946, two black sharecropper couples were shot hundreds of times and the unborn baby of one of the women cut out with a knife at the Moore's Ford Bridge."

They call it a "lynching" in the article, but it wasn't a hanging, it was a brutal shooting of several people, and cutting the baby out of the pregnant woman's womb was just grisly. What's extra shocking to me is that they know it was 12-15 white men, it happened in broad daylight, there were witnesses, and yet no arrests were made! It was all just brushed under the rug. One of the victims was a WWII Veteran. President Harry Truman sent the FBI out, they did 3,000 interviews and served 100 subpeonas, but nobody wanted to talk. There was very little cooperation, so the case just faded away.

WSBtv.com - Atlanta,GA,USA

Officials from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation began digging
Monday evening at the property on Michael Rd. in Monroe.
GBI agents said the current residents are not part of the investigation.
The GBI confirmed to WSB-TV Channel 2 the investigation is
linked to the Moore's Ford Bridge lynching. On July 25, 1946 a
crowd of 12-15 white men abducted and murdered two
African-American couples in Oconee County. The victims were
taken in broad daylight from an area near the Moore's Ford
bridge at the Apalachee River, 60 miles east of Atlanta. George
and Mae Murray Dorsey and Roger and Dorothy Malcom
were shot hundreds of times, according to witnesses.
No one was ever prosecuted for the murders.
