Murder of Jessica Currin

Jessica Currin was raped and murdered on July 29, 2000 in Mayfield, Kentucky. She was 18 years old.

The novice detective who was given the case, admitted evidence had been mishandled.

The local police investigation failed to solve the case. A local woman, Susan Galbreath, made efforts to solve it. In April 2004, Galbreath contacted British journalist Tom Mangold, and their joint investigative work was instrumental in solving the case. In March 2007, Quincy Omar Cross of Tiptonville, Tennessee, was charged with the murder and in April 2008, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Several other individuals implicated were sentenced to from 5 to 15 years.
