Most of the people involved are no longer living, but there have been so many unanswered concerns. On December 9, Erik Sparre was booked in the Camden County Jail after the GBI ordered his arrest for this hate crime that presaged the 2015 murder of congregants at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Mr. Sparre escaped arrest in the initial investigation by the Camden County Sheriff's Office because of a purported a...
