In January of 2013, the body of Lowndes High School student Kendrick Johnson was found on campus under very mysterious circumstances. It did not take long, however, for his death to be ruled an accident. As more people began paying attention to this case and more evidence came to light, including a confession from one of Kendrick's fellow classmates, it has started to look less and less like what happened to Kendrick was simply accidental. Could the young boy have met a more sinister fate?
