The Maplehurst Murder: Mount Vernon's Most Infamous Unsolved Crime


Overview

More than a century later, a grisly Ohio cold case murder gets new life. The night before Easter 1905, Miranda Bricker left her sister's house and made her way through the darkness. Her destination was her living quarters and place of employment, the Maplehurst mansion, the home of Mount Vernon, Ohio's leading industrialist. Within sight of her destination, an attacker emerged from the darkness, rushing her from behind. Their battle cut across the Maplehurst lawn, ending in Bricker's death before witnesses could be sure what was happening. The killer melted away into the night. The hasty investigation that followed almost resulted in an innocent Black man's lynching before the case went cold and was forgotten. Mark Sebastian Jordan has uncovered the roots and ripples of a story that crosses the continent and points out the possibility of a suspect 120 years later.
