For most in the US, even in Tulsa where this happened, no one knew about the devastation of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Most until a HBO tv series, the Watchmen, featured the horrific incident on an episode. On Memorial Day in the Drexel Building in Tulsa, Dick Rowland took an elevator to use the segregated bathroom there. This innocent action sparked a massacre that would end with thirty five city blocks burned, planes dropping bombs, and nearly 300 people dead.

On an October Sunday in Chicago in 1955, three teenage boys would vanish into thin air. Two days later, their mutilated bodies were found. The case had few leads and went cold. It remained cold for forty years, until police started investigating the mysterious disappearance of Brach Candy Heiress Helen Vorhees Brach who went missing in 1977.
