I’m not 1000% sure, and I used to have a link to a (rather grainy) archived photo of the local newspaper, but maybe some sources this author used for their book might help? Most places I’ve seen/heard about the case say the girls went missing on the 22nd and were found the 23rd, but this book says missing the 23rd found early morning on the 24th.
Also, Stinney’s siblings were fighting for a retrial not too long ago, so one of them may have done an interview or something to that nature that may have dates. If not that, then the retrial petition court documents might!

Alabama has no specific laws for teen sexting. Anyone found sending or receiving inappropriate images of a minor—including images of them or someone else—could be prosecuted under the state’s current child pornography, obscenity or material harmful to minor’s laws.
Y’all need cameras. Pronto.
Look up ‘how to protect home from windows’ and go from there.

I just read the very good 'popular crimes' by Bill James. A large number of the cases involving miscarriages of justice seem to involve handwriting identification. Are there programs that do this? That could be used to get objective decisions and that could be tested rapidly to get FP rates and such?
