True Crime Program Unsolved: The Death of Zachary Smith Reynolds

In this true crime program, we delve into unsolved murders, exploring the facts of each case and examining the evidence left behind. We break down what is known—then open the floor to suspects, motives, and leading theories. Was it a crime of passion, a calculated cover-up, or something even more sinister? Join us as we revisit cold cases and ask the haunting question: Who really did it? Meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 6PM.

In 1932, tobacco heir Zachary Smith Reynolds was found fatally shot at his North Carolina estate, triggering a whirlwind of rumors, media frenzy, and unanswered questions. Was it suicide? A tragic accident? Or a carefully concealed murder? With a young actress wife, a complex family legacy, and conflicting witness accounts, the case quickly captivated—and divided—the public. In this session, we’ll examine the evidence, the key players, and the dramatic twists that surrounded this Southern mystery.
