the boy they believed had insulted Carolyn was staying at Mose Wright’s house. They drove there in Milam’s pickup truck at 2:00 a.m. on August 28, seized Till, and threw him into the truck. Over the course of the next few hours, Bryant and Milam took the boy to a number of locations, beating him savagely at every stop, until finally they shot him in the head and threw his weighted body into the river.
