A few months before Clifton Elementary fourth grade teacher Mickey Bryan was slain, another unimaginable and heinous crime took place less than a mile away. There were rampant whispers going around what the small city\u2019s newspaper referred to as \u201cThe Famous Clifton Rumor Mill,\u201d and when Joe Bryan was arrested and charged with his wife\u2019s murder, the chatter grew louder and more intricately weaved. In the months leading up to the trial, Joe felt abandoned by just about everyone but his closest friends and family. When it came time to enter the courtroom, he told others he was ready to get it behind him so he could find Mickey\u2019s killer. But nothing is ever that easy.
