A bullet riddled car, a torn-up hotel room, and a phone call from a former friend testifying to the murder of John Lloyd "Buddy" Heflin all point to foul play in his disappearance from Jackson, Mississippi on a cold New Years Day in 1969. Despite the evidence, no official investigation was ever done, leaving his family with only whispers of what may have led to the reports of him being thrown into the unfeeling waters of the Mississippi river. A conspiracy of silence and a coverup? The persistent whispers concerning Buddy's disappearance have haunted his wife and children for forty-nine years and only the truth can finally quiet them forever.
