{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Case of John McCoy (The Picket Line Murder)","description":" On a cold January morning in 1990, a labor dispute in McDowell County, West Virginia turned deadly. As gunfire erupted along a UMWA picket line, one miner was killed and two others were wounded. More than three decades later, the murder of John McCoy remains unsolved. In this episode of Mountain State Mysteries, we examine the events that led to the shooting, the investigation that followed, and the questions that still remain.\n\nSources -\nCabin Creek Project: murder of UMW member John McCoy; show broadcast by WVVA-TV, channel 6, Bluefield, West Virginia: tape 7-32, 1990 January 16 | Penn State University Libraries Archival Collections (https://archives.libraries.psu.edu/repositories/3/archival_objects/951936)\nMine 'war' leaves one dead; two injured - UPI Archives (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/01/16/Mine-war-leaves-one-dead-two-injured/2640632466000/)\nWelch resident shot to death in 1990 picket line violence | Local News | bdtonline.com (https://www.bdtonline.com/news/local_news/welch-resident-shot-to-death-in-1990-picket-line-violence/article_de65e81d-b385-5122-a097-2935cfbab995.html)\n\nMSM links -\nPATERON - Mountain State Mysteries | Podcast | Patreon\n (https://www.patreon.com/c/mountainstatemysteries)\nWEBSITE - Home | Mountainstatemysteri ( (https://www.mountainstatemysteriespodcast.com/) mountainstatemysteriespodcast.com (http://mountainstatemysteriespodcast.com/) )\n (https://www.mountainstatemysteriespodcast.com/)\nINSTAGRAM - Mountain State Mysteries - A West Virginia True Crime Podcast (@mountainstatemysteries) • Instagram photos and videos\n (https://www.instagram.com/mountainstatemysteries/)\nFACEBOOK - Facebook\n (https://www.facebook.com/mountainstatemysteries)\nTIKTOK - Mountain State Mysteries (@mountainstatemysteries) | TikTok\n (https://www.tiktok.com/@mountainstatemysteries)\nYoutube - (2) Mountain State Mysteries - YouTube\n (https://www.youtube.com/@mountainstatemysteries)\nMUSIC -\n\nIntro Music - The Company\n\nHARMONICS - Hampus Naeseliu","author_name":"Mountain State Mysteries","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5148657-mountain-state-mysteries","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43728984/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"95\" src=\"https://embeds.audioboom.com/posts/8924274/embed?v=202301\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; width: 100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"allowtransparency\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Audioboom player\" allow=\"autoplay\" sandbox=\"allow-downloads allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"></iframe>"}
