Edith McLeroy grew up in Alabama with strict parents, a fact which created quite a bit of tension during her teen years. After sending her to live in a group home with a local pastor, Edith finds herself kicked out on the streets. She disappeared for a year before surfacing again—but she wasn’t alone. A short while later, she was married to Archie West, a leader of a local biker gang. At the age of 23, Edith decided to leave the biker world behind—but she would never get the opportunity. When she showed up dead in a local pond, the investigation into her murder began. It would take 30 years for her to receive justice.
