Killing of Brenda Sue Brown

The Brenda Sue Brown murder case was a tragic event that occurred on July 28, 1966, when the 16-year-old was found beaten with a rock and sexually assaulted near South Lafayette Street in Shelby, NC. Robert Roseboro was initially arrested but acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

Years later, new developments emerged when Thurman Price and Earl Mickey Parker were implicated based on confessions made by Parker on his deathbed through Lori Lail. These confessions led to Price's arrest in 2007, though he maintained his innocence until his death in 2012 without a trial.

The case gained media attention, including feature on Oxygen's "Captured." The summary highlights the initial investigation, subsequent arrests, confessions, and the exhumation of Brown's remains which yielded limited results due to deteriorated remains. Robert Roseboro's role remained unclear beyond his acquittal, leaving some questions about potential involvement in the crime.

Overall, the case underscores the challenges of solving cold cases and the impact of delayed confessions on legal proceedings.
