The Lost Colony Murder on the Outer Banks by John Railey
In the summer of 1967, 19 year old Brenda Joyce Holland disappeared.
A mountain girl who had come to Manteo to work on The Lost Colony, Brenda's body was found three days later, floating in the Sound. This riveting narrative, built on unique access to state investigative files and multiple interviews with insiders, searches for the truth of the unsolved murder. This island odyssey of discovery includes s ances, a suicide, and a supposed shallow grave.
Journalist John Railey cuts through the myths and misdirections to finally arrive at the long-hidden truth of what happened to Brenda Holland that summer on Roanoke Island.
