In 1999, George Strait and Alan Jackson released their song, "Murder on Music Row." While the song reflected a critique of mainstream country music, the opening lyrics (Nobody saw him running from Sixteenth Avenue. They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used...) were an eerie reminder of the real murder on Music Row--the 1989 unsolved murder of Kevin Hughes. Join us as we discuss who it was running away from Sixteenth Avenue.

There isn't a description good enough to adequately describe the ridicularity of this case, but if you go to about the 1 hour & 20-minute mark, you can hear it summed up in 3 words that Rob wanted us to use as the title, but I didn't think the podcast apps would approve of. WARNING: If you don't like banter, you may want to stop at around the 1 hour mark. Also, although we do make light of some aspects of the story, especially at the end of the podcast, we are not making light of anyone's death. No one deserves to die, even if their own actions led to their demise. I also misspoke at about the 50 minute mark--I said "His beef was with Johnny" but I mean to say "His beef was with Harold."

Growing up in the Bible Belt, we’re raised on the 10 commandments and the belief that Thou Shalt Not Kill. On the other hand, we also grow up with the idea of an eye for an eye. So, how do we reconcile the fundamental belief that murder is wrong with the human instinct for retribution? Can there be a scenario so profoundly disturbing, so heart-wrenchingly twisted, that it pushes someone to commit the unthinkable? Today’s case is one that will challenge your perceptions of right and wrong and make you question: If you found out someone had harmed your child, would you take the law into your own hands?

Felicia (Martin) Cochran was 26 years old when she disappeared from Pell City, Alabama on June 11, 1992. It’s important to note that her date of disappearance is wrong on The Charley Project and Doe Network websites, which is disappointing. Felicia is a black woman, 5’3, 135 pounds. She has pierced ears and may wear eyeglasses. If she is alive, she would be 58 years old.
