50-year-old triple homicide cold case solved after tip leads to 'Dixie Mafia'
CNN
A triple homicide committed 50 years ago has been solved after the Watauga County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina received information revealed by a Georgia inmate during a visit with his son.
In February 1972, a man and his wife went with a neighbor to check on her parents and brother in Boone during a snowstorm when they found the three victims "brutally murdered," according to a news release this week from the sheriff's office.
The case remained unsolved for nearly five decades, but based on interviews with the son of an infamous killer in Georgia, authorities now believe Bryce Durham, 51, Virginia Durham, 44, and Bobby Durham, 18, were killed by "Dixie Mafia" hit men.
