Description:The Maud Crawford Mystery Saturday night, March 2, 1957, was cold in Camden, Arkansas, with pouring-down rain and fog so thick people said it was like pea soup. Maud Crawford, the only female attorney and community leader in the town of some 16,000 people, sat stringing beans in her living room in front of the TV with her vicious Dalmatian guard dog that she called Dal on the floor beside her. Her husband, Clyde, had gone downtown to see a movie. When he returned home at 10:45, everything seemed normal. The front porch and back parking area lights were on; Maud's car was in the driveway with the keys in the ignition, as she always left them. Inside the TV was going, Maud's purse was on a living room chair with $142 cash and a couple of checks in it. Dal stretched lazily with no sign of upset, and Maud Crawford had disappeared from the face of the earth. No body, trace, clue or motive would be found, and police declared the case "at a dead end" after two weeks. Because Maud Crawford had been a law firm associate of Senator John McClellan before he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1942, her disappearance was the main story in newspapers and on television screens throughout the world. At the time, McClellan was chairman of a Senate committee conducting high-profile hearings into alleged Mafia ties to organized labor, daily grilling labor leaders such as Jimmy Hoffa with his chief counsel, Robert Kennedy. Twenty-nine years later, filmmaker and journalist Beth Brickell, who had grown up in the town, returned home from Hollywood to discover that the Crawford case had never been properly investigated and that townspeople were afraid to talk about it. Brickell spent 16 months investigating what happened to Maud Crawford, an undertaking that almost got her killed. She uncovered the motive for murder by the wealthiest man in town who also was a State Police Commissioner. She wrote a 19-article investigative series about her findings that were published on the front page of the Pulitzer prize winning state newspaper, The Arkansas Gazette, over a five-month period. Her investigative series has now been published as a book, "The Disappearance of Maud Crawford." The book is available for $15 at luminousfilms.net. Because of continued interest in the mystery, two additional books also have been published about the case, "In Their Own Voice: Interviews from the Maud Crawford Investigation," and "Most credible Conclusions from Maud Crawford Interviews."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
