Fall Back man linked to Pine Bluff murder case
Prosecutor T Havis Nixon and Sheriff Brewster led the case against Ethridge, accused of assassinating Albert McVay in Pine Bluff after an extended pursuit. The suspect, once from Monticello, was implicated by a farmhand’s corroborated confession detailing Ethridge’s voyage from Monticello, the McVay home, and subsequent move to Pine Bluff. The case ties a separate shooting of John McVay by B A Hardy to the same circle as further evidence surfaces.
