The Swain Murders: The Unsolved Crime and the Innocence of Dennis Perry

Discover the shocking true story of murder, injustice, and the relentless pursuit of truth:

A Brutal Crime - In 1985, Harold and Thelma Swain, respected pillars of their South Georgia community, were brutally murdered in their home.

The shocking case sent ripples of fear and grief through the town.

Wrongful Conviction - Carpenter Dennis Perry was arrested and convicted for the crime, despite flawed evidence, unreliable witnesses, and glaring investigative missteps.

He spent decades in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Investigative Journalism at Its Finest - Award-winning journalist Joshua Sharpe refused to let the case rest.

Retracing old leads, interviewing witnesses, and uncovering hidden evidence, Sharpe risked his career and personal safety to reveal the truth.

A Hidden Suspect Emerges - Sharpe's investigation exposed an alternate suspect, a dangerous white supremacist with connections to the case, shedding new light on the murders.

Justice Delayed but Not Denied - Through tireless reporting and legal advocacy, Perry's name was finally cleared, and the case forced a reexamination of law enforcement failures.

A Story of Courage and Persistence - Beyond the murders, this book explores the resilience of families, the power of investigative reporting, and the fight against systemic injustice.
