A new book “The Wiregrass” tackles the 1999 murders of two teens in Ozark, which went from a cold case to a conviction 20 years later. In 1999, 17-year-olds JB Beasley and Tracie Hawlett – both seniors at Dothan’s Northview High School – were found murdered in Ozark in the trunk of a car owned by the Beasley family. Beasley was born in Troy but her family moved to Dothan when she was a child. Both girls had been shot in the head.
