Tonight, on Roots & Shadows: The Real Appalachia Podcast

In June of 1990, deputies in Smyth County responded to a quiet neighborhood in Saltville after receiving an anonymous phone call.

When officers arrived, they walked up to the front door and knocked.

No one answered.

What they would soon discover inside that home would become one of the most disturbing crimes this Appalachian community ever had seen.

Tonight’s episode, “The Knock That Went Unanswered,” takes us back to that summer in 1990 and the investigation that followed. Through court records, historical reporting, and conversations with people who remember the case, we explore how deputies pieced together what had happened and how a quiet Appalachian town tried to make sense of a tragedy that still lingers in memory decades later.
