🕯️ August 1999 — A small town shaken forever
JB Beasley and Tracie Hawlett were just 17.
That night, they had attended a party. Made a few calls. And then — they vanished.
The next day, their bodies were found in the trunk of JB’s black Mazda. Shot. Still clothed. No signs of sexual assault. No signs of robbery.
The car was parked in a grassy area off a small road in Tallassee, Alabama.
The last known sighting? A gas station. The girls had asked for directions.
And then… nothing. No witnesses. No motive. No closure.
The town was paralyzed. Rumors spread. Families grieved. For years, the case went cold.
In 2019 — 20 years later — a suspect was arrested through advanced DNA technology. But questions still linger. Why them? Why that night?
This wasn’t just a case. It was a wound for an entire community.
🕊️ Some stories don’t fade with time. Some voices still demand to be heard.
And to every soul fighting for answers — remember:
🪶 Every fall has a rise. Every struggle has a story.
