About "The Killin’ of Kelli Bordeaux"
Written by band member Bob Phillips
Murders and untimely deaths have forever been subject material for bluegrass music. This tragic but true story is about the 2012 murder of a pretty 23 year-old woman in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Beaten to death by a man with a dark past, Kelli's body laid deep in the pines off River Road for over two years. Only through the extraordinary efforts of David Marshburn, a local bounty hunter, would Kelli be brought home and justice served. Watch the “48 Hours” program, “The Hunter: Searching for Kelli Bordeaux” at our website www.cclbluegrass.com.
