DEKALB COUNTY, GA For 50 years, Fred Kinnemore told DeKalb County he believes his ancestors were buried under the pavement along Wilson Road and the county needed to investigate. Now Kinnemore, deacon at St. Paul Baptist Church, has proof.
After WSB-TV first led an investigation into Kinnemore s claims in 2018, a team hired by DeKalb County conducted a study into the suspected area located near St. Paul Baptist Church Cemetery using ground-penetrating radar technology starting in 2019. It showed 26 geophysical anomalies consistent with possible graves.
