The next two weeks NC Wanted will focus again on an unsolved murder from Vance County. The case is over thirty years old. The cold blooded killing of a mother of three young children was shocking. Alice Burgess was beaten to death and her body stuffed in the trunk of her car.
Even though no one has been convicted of her murder, there was an arrest, a trial, and an acquittal. Some still believe the right man was arrested, but the jury failed to convict him. Others in the community speculate and some claim to have inside information. After many years, it is a case that still haunts the community and motivates investigators.
