In June of 1970, the body of 24-year-old Nancy Morgan was found
inside a government-owned car in Madison County, North Carolina. It
had been four days since anyone had heard from the bubbly,
hard-working brunette who had moved to the Appalachian community
less than a year prior as an organizer for Volunteers in Service to
America. At the time of her death, her tenure in the Tar Heel State
was just weeks from ending, her intentions set on New York and
nursing school and a new life that she would never see. The initial
investigation was thwarted by inept police work, jurisdictional
confusion, and the influence of local corruption. Fourteen years
would pass before an arrest in the case would be made, but even
then, a pall would be cast over the veracity of the evidence. Met
Her on the Mountain is the culmination of former Los Angeles Times
staff writer Mark Pinsky's efforts to solve the 40-year-old mystery
once and for all. An exhaustive piece of investigative journalism,
Pinsky dissects this modern Southern Gothic tale and takes readers
on a journey to convince them that the truth of Morgan's murder is
within reach.
