INDIANAPOLIS — A local journalist who spent years uncovering a murder mystery in Martinsville wants to make sure the story of Carol Jenkins does not go untold.
"I've looked for many years at her face. That's one of the only good pictures of her. And what I see when I look in her eyes is a young woman that had innocence and hope," Sandra Chapman said."It had a chilling effect. African Americans across central Indiana then said be careful going through Martinsville," Chapman said.
"There was a feeling that this was racially motivated but the investigators and others dismissed it as that," Chapman said.Two days after her series aired in 2001, Chapman received a message that would change things. "I was made aware of Carol Jenkins's story as a kid. I grew up about probably a block to a block-and-a-half from where Carol would have been living when she passed," Mike Pavey, Rushville’s Mayor, said."My hope is that people can learn from the tragedy, and we've said over and over here that Carol's life had value. The story gives an opportunity to teach future generations about inclusion and diversity.
