Carolyn Bryant Donham , the woman whose accusations led to the lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955, was spotted for the first time in nearly two decades.
Last month, Till’s case received renewed attention after an unserved warrant for Donham’s arrest from almost 70 years ago was found.
Donham evaded the public eye for 20 years until Monday (August 1) when the Daily Mail shared exclusive photos of the now 88-year-old woman at her Kentucky home that she shares with her son Thomas Bryant.
According to reports, Donham is legally blind, battling cancer, and receiving end-of-life hospice care in the shared apartment.
