Killing of Russell Charlie in Alabama in 1954
Incident
Russell Charlie (1907 - 1954), a saw mill worker, was killed in Monroe County, Alabama. Charlie’s body was discovered near a railroad track. A rubber strap cut from an automobile tire tube was found near the body. A toxicologist concluded that the death was a suicide. However, an informant, Jesse P. Turpin told the FBI that Charlie had been killed by several men, one of whom was reported to be a law enforcement officer. It was said that Charlie was behind on a debt owed to one or more of the men. An essay on this case, researched and authored by a CRRJ student, is available on request.
