Book Explores Grief After Arkansas Woman Is Murdered

Genie Massey

A book looks at the murder of an Arkansas woman and the impact such a horrific incident had on family members of the victim. Genie Massey wrote about the death of her aunt Tresia Jester who was shot late one night on March 21, 1992 in Pine Bluff.

Massey will be taking part in a book signing ceremony Wednesday, April 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the UA Little Rock campus bookstore in the Donaghey Student Center. Then on Thursday she will be making two presentations in the school's criminal justice department.

She spoke with KUAR News about the book, which you can hear above.
