As your hosts, Kellye and Kyler, we're peeling back the layers of a city's history and the complex web of relationships within a famed college basketball team. This episode is not for the faint-hearted; we're tackling sensitive subjects, including sexual assault and brutal violence, through the lens of a community grappling with its demons.Join us for an episode that dances on the knife-edge of truth, where sports glory and community pride collide with a legacy of racism and scandal. We chart the rise of the Northeast Louisiana University Lady Indians basketball team amidst an era of social taboos and uncover the seismic impact of a same-sex relationship scandal during the buttoned-up 1980s. Through Fran Parker's narrative "The Deadly Triangle," we question the fragile blend of fact and fiction, scrutinizing a story that could have altered the course of college athletics. We confront the chilling disappearance and murder of Brenda Spicer, a case entangled with the pressures of college sports and the shadowy figure of Ivrin Bolden Jr., revealing a Monroe still haunted by the past.As we dissect the Brenda Spicer murder case, every thread unspooled leads us deeper into a labyrinth of suspicion, relationships strained to the breaking point, and the fight for justice in a world where the rules of evidence were as yet unrefined by modern science. Was Ivrin Bolden Jr. simply a scapegoat, or did his family's influence veil the truth? We navigate a trial mired in community politics, where the testimonies of coaches, presidents, and peers wove a tapestry of doubt. For those who seek to understand the heart of Monroe's darkest hour, and for the minds that demand to consider what lies beneath the surface of justice, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss.
