About the Strange Fruit Series
“Strange Fruit” originates from a 1937 poem by Abel Meeropol, recorded in 1939 by Billie Holiday, documenting lynchings in the American South. This investigative series tracks strange American hangings, individuals discovered under unexplained or suspicious circumstances, missing persons cases, and under-reported deaths across the United States that receive little to no national media attention. Each dispatch features an automated Media Breadth Audit measuring newsroom coverage at publication. Stories reflect public law enforcement records and verified local reporting; unless official autopsy findings are released, causes and manners of death remain undetermined.
For immediate confidential support during any crisis or emotional distress, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available nationwide by calling or texting 988.
