The murder of Nancy Dean Morgan was an unsolved homicide that occurred in June 1970 in Madison County, North Carolina, United States. Morgan was a 24-year-old Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) worker assigned to community development projects in the Appalachian region. On June 17, 1970, she was discovered in the back seat of her government-issued vehicle on a remote logging road, with her body found in a hogtied position on a hillside of Hot Springs Mountain. The autopsy reports indicated that she had been sexually assaulted and strangled.
In 1985, local authorities charged Ed Walker, a fellow VISTA worker, with the crime, but he was acquitted after the prosecution’s sole eyewitness was shown during cross-examination to have a record of providing false statements.

Presbyterian Church, Ross Island was a stone-built Presbyterian church constructed during British colonial rule on Ross Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It was established between 1863 and 1866 under the oversight of Henry Fisher Corbyn of the Bengal Ecclesiastical Establishment for use by the British administrators and residents of the penal colony.
The church had window frames made of Burma teak, a residence for the clergy to the south, and stained glass behind the altar. Ross Island was the administrative centre of the Andaman penal settlement from 1858 until 1942, when an earthquake and the Japanese occupation ended British control. The church was abandoned and later became a ruin.
