Newlywed bride, Mary Shotwell Little, vanishes from Lenox Square in 1965. A year and a half later, Diane Shields is found brutally murdered inside her own car’s trunk.

Atlanta would never be the same.

Two small southern town young women move to the big city with even bigger dreams.

While they never meet, their stories will be forever entangled—impacting the city and creating fear among women throughout a 1960s Atlanta—changing the landscape of false security in a booming city amid the shadows of alleged corruption, sex scandals and murder.

Their cases have never been solved and questions remain.

Will the lives and subsequent demise of these women meet somewhere in the middle, intertwining the mysteries surrounding them both?

11Alive Investigative Digital Journalist, Jessica Noll, has spent the last year digging into their 50-year-old cold cases to find out if their cases are connected in the seven-chapter podcast series: 5 Roses.
