Alberta O. Jones was Louisville's first Black female prosecutor and civil rights leader until she was found dead in the Ohio River in 1965—a 60-year mystery involving missing evidence, possible police involvement, and questions about whether she was killed for her dangerous activism or silenced by powerful forces. Alberta Jones was brutally beaten and drowned in the Ohio River on August 5, 1965, after being lured from her home by a close friend under the pretense of retrieving a wig, yet critical details about that wig and the night's events remain inconsistent across witness statements.
