About this ebook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was brought in to help find the burial sites of the boys who had died at the reform school. I had no idea how difficult this would be.

#2 I met with Glen Varnadoe, a man who believed his uncle was buried on the Dozier property. He had spent forty years working for a chemical company in Central Florida, and he was well-off. He hired a lawyer to stop the sale of the land.

#3 We learned that the school had buried a number of boys who had died there, possibly nineteen more than what was reported. The state department of law enforcement said they knew how all the boys had died: some killed in a fire, others in a flu epidemic, and nothing criminal occurred.

#4 We found that nearly 70 percent of the boys buried at Dozier were African American. The state’s investigation identified only 31 burials on-site, but we now had records for 45 boys.
