Tragic story of our nation's history in the 40's.

Nice to know that genealogy research helped to solve the mystery. In the article it says "But as Klibanoff and the other students walked with Harris through the cemetery, Studdard drifted away from the group. She had grown up visiting cemeteries with her father, making rubbings of the headstones of family graves, and she began walking up and down each row.
