cOLD cases semi-solved

     The Washington Post reports on the three year effort by the FBI to solve old Civil Rights Era murder cases, uncovering some family secrets in the process.
     When I moved to Alabama, one of the first big stories I worked on was the reopening of the investigation into the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing by then Attorney General Bill Baxley. The AP story that was used nationwide quoted the station (WERC) interview with Mr. Baxley.
     That probe was just over a dozen years after the event, and resulted in one conviction. I was in the courtroom when the jury returned that verdict against Robert "Dynamite Bob" Chambliss.
     Investigating deaths many more years later has proven difficult for The Bureau.
     Let justice roll...
