Description
August 6th: Thomas G. Woolfolk Kills(1887)
When only one person survives a massacre it's hard not to point a finger at them as a suspect. On August 6th 1887 almost an entire family was brutally slaine inside their home and the sole survivor, a man with a less than stellar reputation, became the one and only suspect in the eyes of an entire community.
