Amber Clemmons-Bean is Barbara Clemmons' granddaughter and family advocate, Amber has become a dedicated voice for justice in her grandmother’s unsolved murder case. She continues to work to seek answers, keeping the case alive and raising awareness. In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, sits down with Amber Clemmons Bean, Barbara’s granddaughter to dissect the tragic events of July 23rd, 1957, in Hobbs, New Mexico, where Dorothy Gibson, Barbara Clemmons, and J.D. Cantrell were brutally murdered. Dorothy and Barbara, both 23 and divorced, were found dead after being shot, following a night out and a flat tire on Highway 180. J.D. Cantrell, a truck driver who stopped to help, was shot eight times. The motives appear unclear, with no signs of robbery or sexual assault, while revenge seems the likely cause. Sheryl and Amber discuss potential motives, challenges in the investigation, and the emotional toll on the victims’ families. Show Notes:
