1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Lancaster, South Carolina, is in the middle of not much,

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: but growing up near that rural town in the post

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Civil rights South, I knew it as the hometown of

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: a black man named Jim Duncan who became a super

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Bowl hero. That's the Baltimore called camps of the American Conference,

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys champs of the National Conference, and where

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: his death, even now, almost half a century later, still

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: makes no sense at all. You get to the kick

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: a ducking up to the fifteen that the story was

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: that my brother went into the police station, took a gun,

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: all the police officer and shot himself in the head.

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Most people I believe that. I'm Brett McCormick. For the

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: past three years at the Rockhill Herald, I've looked back

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: at a story that's timelier than ever. My first impression

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: was that could have happened last the tale of a

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: life falling apart, lookout and police too close to the edge.

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Couldn't do that much. I'm trying to forget about stuff

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: happened years ago, move on it, search for closure for

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: an event almost no one could believe. Rum day stop

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: coming up. We'll be a better fake. But even fewer

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: dred question, have you got some time to talk? Never

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: has this been something that anybody's am interested in talking

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: about until now. It involves rates the middle state of

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the person and a towel that was scared to death

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: to say anything. Return Man from the rock Hill Herald,
