Poynter has a link to a investigative reporter's work on bringing down a cold-case killer who's alleged to have been committing murders since the Kennedy administration.

Mary Rose found the reporter who'd help her track down a suspected serial killer while she was listening to the radio.
Jerry Mitchell, an investigative reporter for The (Jackson, Mississippi) Clarion-Ledger, appeared on "Democracy Now" to talk about a series of cold cases from the Civil Rights era.
That's Neshoba County, Rose told herself. It's near where the man she suspects killed her daughter lived. Mitchell, the reporter, lived in Mississippi, too.
"A light went off," she said, "and I said, Mary, you need to get in touch with this man. He is not afraid of cold cases."
Six years and thousands of words later, that case is no longer cold.
It took Mitchell more than a year (and a lot of calls from Rose) to start reporting. But they both stuck with it.
On Friday, Mitchell's series, "Gone," was published online. It has nine chapters, more than 25,000 words, a five-episode web series and a newsletter. And so far, analytics show readers are coming, staying and coming back for more.

Jerry Mitchell's one of the greats. He's a big reason Byron De La Beckwith was convicted of killing Medger Evars and Edgar Ray Killen eventually went to prison for orchestrating the killing of the three civil rights workers in Philadelphia in 1964.

He might be the best investigative reporter working in all of American journalism. His integrity is unimpeachable and he's an absolute bulldog when he gets his teeth into something.
