Over the weekend, NPR reported that national rate for unsolved murders has hit a record high.
NPR: “While the rate at which murders are solved or “cleared” has been declining for decades, it has now dropped to slightly below 50% in 2020 – a new historic low. And several big cities, including Chicago, have seen the number of murder cases resulting in at least one arrest dip into the low to mid-30% range.”
Journalist Larrison Campbell discussed with me how Mississippi’s low percentage of solved murders drove her to revisit her grandmother’s 2003 murder – Who Killed Martha Campbell?
