"The citizens of Alexandria, to which Jackson and Walling were removed, are circulating a petition to Judge Helm asking that the execution be held in their town." -Richmond Kentucky Climax, March 10, 1897 Pearl Bryan was a woman who was murdered in Fort Thomas, Kentucky in 1896. Due to the murder's gruesome nature, it achieved significant notoriety nationwide. Pearl was the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Greencastle, Indiana. Her body was found, headless, just behind what is now the YMCA in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. It is falsely suggested that the neck was cut "clean" with dental tools. Her boyfriend, Scott Jackson, was a dental student and was known to carry a large surgical knife that disappeared after the murder. Pearl was five months pregnant. Cocaine, used at the time as a stimulant and analgesic, and widely available commercially, was found in her stomach. A full account of the mysterious murder known as the Fort Thomas tragedy, from beginning to end; full particulars of all detective and police investigations; dialogues of the interviews between Mayor Caldwell, Chief Deitsch and the prisoners. Read this epic murder mystery which takes place in a time when crime solvers had nothing to go on but instinct and wit, and when a murder had the potential to truly shake the entire country.
