Different Races, Shoes Without Laces & The Evil Deeds of Unseen Faces: Lennon Lacy

from Cold Case Murder Mysteries · host Cold Case Murder Mysteries

August 29, 2014. A Bladenboro, NC woman rises shortly after 7am to find a deceased black male hanging by a makeshift noose from an old swing set in the yard of the predominantly white trailer park where she lives. Her subsequent call to 911 draws police to the scene of the crime to investigate. They quickly determine the person in question is a 17-year-old high school student and football player named Lennon Lacy, who lives up the road about a quarter of a mile away. Before long, his death is hastily ruled a suicide by local authorities, a sentiment later shared by the state police as well. But something is wrong with this scene. Lennon is wearing shoes that don't belong to him, and are too small for his feet. Even more baffling is the fact that the hanging appears to have been impossible for him to accommodate on his own. Soon enough, what was initially deemed a suicide starts looking a whole lot more like it could be a racially motivated lynching. But to this day, the truth remains a mystery. Join host Ryan Kraus for a psychological journey into the underlying emotional narrative of this tragic death in an effort to learn the truth about what happened to Lennon Lacy that fateful night.
