Back to EpisodesThe Murder Behind the Ballad: The Grim True Story of Tom Dooley (North Carolina)
Description
Everyone knows the song. "Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley" became one of the biggest folk hits in American history. But the real story behind the music is far darker than the lyrics ever admitted. In the mountains of post-Civil War North Carolina, a love triangle fueled by jealousy, betrayal, disease, and old family grudges ended with a young woman buried in a shallow grave and a handsome Confederate veteran standing on the gallows. Tonight, we separate the legend from the truth and uncover the haunting story of Tom Dula and Laura Foster.
