Nobody Suspected Police Shielded a Killer Until the Dead Man's Sister Dug In
On April 22, more than 100 people showed up for the prayer vigil. They gathered at a train depot in Scott Spivey's hometown of Tabor City, N.C., a former tobacco hub, population 3,700. A pastor said Spivey had returned to Iron Hill Baptist Church in the months before he was killed. A vocalist led the group in 'Amazing Grace,' the hymn sung at Spivey's funeral.
In the depot parking lot, the men and women maneuvered around parked cars to form a circle and joined hands to pray. From above, their jagged formation looked more like a heart.
