Overview
A haunting and inspiring true story about how a community comes together to help solve a murder.
In Belleville, Michigan, a small lake town west of Detroit, twenty-seven-year-old singer-bartender Egypt Covington was a local celebrity. But on a summer night in 2017, someone entered Egypt’s home, tied her up in Christmas lights, and ended her life with a single gunshot.
Local police told Egypt’s family that they knew who did it, they just needed one more piece of evidence to make an arrest. But when an arrest never came, some family members took matters into their own hands. What they discovered would unravel the detectives’ theories, lead to secret dissent within the police department, and energize an entire town. As it turned out, the clues to solving the case were there all along, like silent witnesses, waiting to be unearthed.
Egypt’s murder points to a larger crisis this country faces: In some cities, the odds of getting justice are as good as a coin flip, or worse. As her friends and family would discover, the reasons why her case went cold for so long—and why more than a third of all killers literally get away with murder each year—are as important to explore as the mystery of who killed Egypt Covington.
