Constable George Hawkins

On this episode of True Cold Case Files, Jason and Nick gives a rare oral history lesson to listeners on Newport, Kentucky; as its past may be linked to the disappearance of a well known constable in Campbell County. In April of 1961, after ripping off the black market of Newport by selling eggs at hundreds of dollars apiece, George Hawkins suddenly disappeared. Though it is one of the lesser known cases involving the mafia; this case could be considered one of the coldest mafia-linked cases that should fit beside the Jimmy Hoffa case. In 1980, a skull washed up on the banks of the Ohio River in Carroll County, along with remains months later. When an investigator saw the reconstruction of the John Doe and paired it with one of Campbell County's oldest mysteries, it was cause for a very lengthy process of elimination that would link the two cases.
