Talk:Mississippi Cold Case

Untitled
This doesn't have too much to do with the wikipedia article, but maybe we can make this addition. What was the name of the song ('soundtrack' or 'theme song') that plays during this documentary? If anyone can tell me that would be appreciated.

citation needed
the article says "On May 2, 1964, Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee were picked up by KKK members while hitchhiking in Meadville, Mississippi. They were interrogated and tortured in a nearby forest, locked in a trunk, driven across state lines, chained to a Jeep motor and train rails and dropped alive into the Mississippi River.[citation needed]" I heard Thomas Moore speak today and he verified all of this. For citation can we quote him or does it need to be a citation from the internet? OGOLD (talk) 02:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The person is just quoting from the documentary, so citing the documentary and that source together would probably put it to rest. I am just starting to learn how to do these things so you do it. (24.77.37.48 (talk) 20:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC))

Seale's hate Letter to the Editor
I am wondering why the Seale letter isn't included in this since it shows the mindset of the killer and to give us some idea how what was an accepted opinion at the time became unacceptable over time - which is what a teacher would do with this. Also, forgetting history is the first step of repeating it. This article looks at portions of Seale's letter to the editor:

Confusing coverage
It appears the decision was made to have this be the only article about the investigation in the 21st century of the Moore-Dee murders, as the film was made about them and Ridgen played a role in raising publicity and interest in the case. But it makes it confusing to follow what happened. Seale and another man were arrested in Nov. 1964 for these murders, but the district attorney dropped the charges. Other accounts note that Thomas Moore started re-investigating the deaths in 1998, before Ridgen contacted him. In 2000, two other journalists found 1964 FBI files that were thought to be lost, in their own investigation of cold cases from the civil rights era, and these files which were important to federal prosecution of the case in 2007. So it's great that Ridgen helped solve this case, but maybe there should be an article about Moore and Dee, and another about the film. This is too much about Ridgen, with all the background of how he got into the case.Parkwells (talk) 00:57, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Literature Across Cultures I Analysis
— Assignment last updated by Helyeah27 (talk) 20:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Charles Marcus Edwards into Mississippi Cold Case
Per WP:BLP1E and WP:SINGLEEVENT the only significant coverage of this person seems to be the case, similar to the victims Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore. Another possible redirect is James Ford Seale. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and not a "who's who". Not everyone mentioned in newspapers automatically gets their own article. --Animalparty!
