A true mountain murder! This case inspired a local murder ballad in our county. This week we're discussing Oma Hicks Naillon Brown, a woman who grew up in an isolated area of Haywood County known as Big Bend. Oma's first husband Benjamin Naillon mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Years later, Oma's second husband and friend vanish. A Chicago detective who happened to be vacationing finally cracked the case. A double murder, clannish mountain folk, moonshine and mystery surround the Big Bend killing!
