A Girl Viciously Stabbed On Her First Day At Work
No one knew why or who murdered Carol Jenkins until a little girl’s secret surfaced 34 years later.
Carol had big dreams as a young African-American girl growing up in the small Rushville community of Indiana. She wanted to move to Chicago and pursue a career as a fashion model. But, for that, Carol needed money and was prepared to work hard for it. It led her to Martinsville in September 1968 to sell encyclopedias door-to-door. Little did she know fate had different plans for her in Martinsville.
Follows Her Passion
Carol was a sweet and naïve girl who always met people with a smile. She never gave anyone trouble, not even her mother, Elizabeth Gooden, when she married her stepfather, Paul Davis, in 1949. Even though Davis had five more children with Elizabeth, he treated Carol as if she were one of his own.
When Carol was a teenager, she found her passion in fashion modeling, and Paul was her biggest supporter. He encouraged her when she went to work in a factory after finishing high school to save up money to pursue her dream. But, due to a strike, that factory closed, forcing her to look for work elsewhere. She eventually found another job in Martinsville selling encyclopedias door to door.
