When Alberta O. Jones was murdered in 1965, her purse vanished. Investigators searched for it but found nothing.
Then, three years later, a group of boys discovered the purse tucked into a steel support beam on the Sherman Minton Bridge. Inside were several items investigators had been missing, including Alberta's keys, dentures, and identification.
The discovery answered some questions but created new ones. If the purse had been sitting there for years, why didn't it appear heavily weathered? And if it wasn't there the whole time, who put it there?
