On this day in 1946, The Moore's Ford lynching occurred in Georgia. The X victims were tied to a tree and XX shots were fired at close range.

— July 25, 1946: The Moore's Ford Lynching occured. The Georgia lynching was a quadruple killing of: 

-George W. Dorsey, who was a veteran of World War II that had been back in the America less than X months after serving nearly X years in the Pacific War.

-Mae Murray Dorsey (George's wife).

-Roger Malcolm (friend of the Dorseys).

-Dorothy Malcolm, born July 25, 1926, who was X months pregnant (Roger's wife).

They were accosted by a mob of white men as they headed home.

The lynching was carried out on a bridge in Walton and Oconee counties between Monroe and Watkinsville, the case attracted national attention. 

The FBI investigated it but was unable to prosecute anyone because they had no suspects and very little evidence.

New publicity in the 1990's led to a new investigation, but the case has NEVER been solved.

GRAND JURY TESTIMONY:
Researcher Anthony Pitch, author of The Last Lynching: How a Gruesome Mass Murder Rocked a Small Georgia Town (2016), located the sealed grand jury testimony in the National Archives. 

He sued to have the records unsealed. Despite government opposition, a federal appeals court upheld his request.

The US Department of Justice under the AG William Barr appealed that decision, maintaining that to open the testimony would undermine the confidentiality of a grand jury investigation.

U.S. law permits grand jury testimony to be unsealed in "exceptional circumstances".
