"Beyond a Reasonable Doubt?, The Murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." Jim Leach

This is not a book about conspiracy theories. It is an in-depth look at the evidence and a discussion about what might have taken place had the case gone to trial.  The author, Jim Leach, is a career law enforcement professional with much experience investigating homicides, many of them Cold Cases. Mr. Leach was also co-owner of Training Services Group, Inc. for 25 years and trained thousands of officers in the art of murder investigation. The book is available at Amazon.com, or, if you wish, you can get a signed copy from the publisher at https://zoegracepublishing.com

DAVID DAVENPORT

David Davenport left us on March 22, 2024. He was 76. After serving admirably in the U.S. Air Force, he became a Tennessee State Trooper. After seven years as a Trooper, David was appointed to the TBI where he became a legend in law enforcement circles. He was known nationally for his skills as a homicide investigator. It was said that he and his partner Bob Denny put more murderers on death row than any pair in Tennessee. In 1997 he was honored as Special Agent of the Year. He served three terms as Sheriff of Jefferson County. David ended a great career as Chief of the Cold Case Division of the Knox County Sheriff's Department. The last work we did together was when I went with him to interview a prison inmate in West Tennessee on one of the Cold Cases from Knox Co. This interview was first played in April of 2020 and was the most popular show we ever did on my radio show/podcast series, The Investigator.   David Davenport was one of my best life long friends. He will be greatly missed.
