On September 18th, Paul will present original music, including “Sweet Nancy Goodnight” to benefit the efforts to solve the murder of Nancy Lee Eagleson, a crime that occurred in Paulding on November 13th, 1960. The concert is open to the public, and admission is free, with a free-will offering to the Eagleson fund encouraged. Following the concert, Paul will sign autographs and sell recordings of his original music. Donated items will also be raffled to add to the Eagleson proceeds.
The Eagleson Family has been seeking justice for Nancy for sixty-one years. Efforts are currently underway to exhume Nancy’s remains to search for perpetrator DNA. These efforts have been aided by The Porchlight Project, True Crime Garage, and Uncovered.com. The family states that contributions made by concert attendees and contributions to the Nancy Lee Eagleson GoFundMe also assist these proceedings and are deeply appreciated.
