True Crime
Sometimes criminals have ordinary lives. They have a home in a nice part of town. They have a steady job. They raise a family. Sometimes criminals look a lot like you and me. Our book this week is “A Murder in Searcy” and our guests are its authors Deana Nall and Mike Allen. They investigated and wrote a book about the murder of Fern Rodgers in sleepy Searcy Arkansas in 1974 and the trial of Fern’s husband Dr. Porter Rodgers the following year. Decades later there are still some folks who don’t want to talk about it, or at least they don’t want their name mentioned if they do talk.
The unlovely truth is that with a few bad decisions and the wrong people around us, each one of us is capable of acts we would never dream we might commit. That’s why King David asked God in Psalm 141 to help him stay away from evil acts and those who commit them. If only Dr. Porter Rodgers, Sr, had prayed that same prayer.
