MURDERED: Alberta O. Jones

-

Alberta O. Jones was breaking barriers in Louisville, Kentucky. She was the first Black woman prosecutor in the city’s history, she helped register some 6,000 Black citizens to vote, and she was a leader in the city’s civil rights movement. But on Aug. 5, 1965 –  before she could make even more changes in the highly segregated city – Alberta was found dead floating in the Ohio River. The night before, she reluctantly went out late to visit a close friend, setting off a 60-year mystery that has led to more questions than answers. 

Was Alberta killed in a random robbery? Was she set up by her best friend? Or was she targeted for her dangerous civil rights work? 

  • If you have any information about the death of Alberta O. Jones, you can contact the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Cold Case Squad at 502-574-7055, or you can email us directly at tips@audiochuck.com.
