The murder of eighteen-year-old Janie Sharp remains unsolved more than one hundred years after her body was found along a rural country road. The twists and turns of the case led to a period of turmoil, suspicion, and death across a sleepy rural community that culminated in a sensational legal battle unequaled in Mississippi history.
Was it a rush to judgment, or did the teenager, Swinton Permenter, commit a brutal crime of passion upon a young woman who rejected his affections?
The murder of a young Janie Sharp and the ensuing trials and murders made national headlines, split a community for the better part of the 20th century and produced one of the most celebrated court cases in Mississippi history. Publicly, her murder and those of the others remain unresolved to this day.
