MOST WANTID MEET AMERICA'S MOCT CLAIRVOYANT. 4tuujhrnNO lEVlMMCE ^ by Zack Harding Arts & Life Editor In 1966 Brevard’s neighbor Hendersonville had the most bru tal and mysterious murder that has ever taken place within its county borders. Forty-one years later the unsolved murder is being reopened, with psychics this time. Last summer the Hendersonville Times-News ran an eight day se ries on the triple murder which peaked the interests of Court TV’s psychic based show “Haunting Evidence.” On July 22, 1966, three badly decomposing bodies where found lying in a semi-circle with objects placed on them. Vernon Shipmen, Charles Glass, and Louise Davis Shumate had all suffered massive wounds to the head. Shipmen and Glass were both gay men who worked together at Hendersonville’s Tempo Music Center Glass was known for sell ing “voodoo charms and hexes,” according to the Times-News ar ticles, and had a black blues musi cian living at his house at the time of the murder Prejudices and dif ficulties with the case prevented it from being solved, though there is speculation that town officials were involved in a cover up. The articles also detailed theories about “blackmail over ‘compromising photographs, corruption of the county’s youth, a drug deal gone bad and money fraudulently gained as possible motives.” According to a Times-News Article, Tim Robbins, executive producer of the TV series claims that “this mystery has a series of gaps, along with contradictory statements and recollections,” which led to the show’s interest in the murder Psychic profiler Carla Baron, medium John J. Oliver, and para normal investigator Patrick Bums lead the show. The tagline from the website about the show says: “working together, can this uncon ventional team of experts fmd clues that will provide new insights into real-life cases that have gone cold?” The crew was scheduled for filming in Hendersonville this week, and the episode is expected to show in the new season, which begins in June in prime time. Re- mns of the series can be seen on Saturdays at 3 and 3:30 p.m. on Court TV. What's Inside? Arts & Life 8 Classifieds 12 Horoscope 9 t4e^NS 2 Opinion 4 Sports. .11 Weather 3
