My guest is Karen L. Cox, author of “Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South”. She tells the story of Jennie Merrill, an aged Southern belle who was murdered in her home in 1932 Natchez, Mississippi. Two of the main suspects against her were her neighbors: Octavia Dockery (aka ” Goat Woman”) and Dick Dana (aka “Wild Man”), who lived in the notorious ramshackle mansion nicknamed “Goat Castle”.
