Graves County: Chapter 1 | Something Stinks On August 1, 2000, the body of 18-year-old Jessica Currin was found outside of the middle school in Mayfield, KY. Jessica was a new mom and the daughter of a lieutenant with the fire department. Her case would go unsolved for years, until a local homemaker, a British journalist, and a few local girls came forward with a story that law enforcement would use to convict six people &ndash; including one man for life. It&rsquo;s a good story: an ordinary woman helps solve a crime and bring justice to a small town. Maybe too good to be true.
