This week's show is the first part in a multi episode series concerning the 30 year old cold case of Samuel Boyd Slade Sr. The murder occurred September 7, 1990 in Raymond, MS. Samuel's second child ended up becoming the co-host of this show so this week's topic is deeply personal to the Fries Today team. For the thirty years between then and now no new information has surfaced from the justice system and very little information has been handed down to the children, leaving the entire sequence of events shrouded in mystery, rumors and conjectures. In today's show we cover the known facts of the case and start discussing some of the dark theories around what actually happened that night. This case split a family, a rift which continues to this day, and as more time goes by, the chances of learning the truth about this case get slimmer and slimmer. Many questions remain thirty years later. Who killed Samuel Slade? Why was he killed? Was his family involved? Was it premeditated or a crime of passion? How many people were involved? Are the guilty parties still alive and well? If the case was so rock solid, why couldn't the famous prosecutor Bobby Delaughter secure a conviction, and why was no one else ever charged in the murder? I can't promise we'll find the truth, but I can guarantee an authentic and interesting story. Come along with us for the ride, and if you have any new information to offer, even if it's just correcting statements you hear made today, please message the show on twitter at https://twitter.com/friestoday1 (@friestoday1) Visit the show's twitter feed for images of Raymond that correspond to some of the statements made on today's show. Here are 2 links to articles from the Clarion Ledger I clipped when researching the case. These are the only two references to the case I can find in the capital city's major newspaper.
