On June 28, 1959, Viola Hyatt killed the Harper brothers, who lived in a trailer on her family's farm in Calhoun County. Before her confession, the case was known as the "Torso Murders," and the victims were called "Mr. X" and "Mr. Y." Hyatt shot both men in the face, and then cut off their arms legs before scattering their remains in St. Clair and Etowah Counties. This photograph appeared in the Birmingham News on July 17, 1959, with the following caption: "Crude wheelbarrow was death vehicle for removing bodies / Torsos and limbs were loaded on barrow, taken to car."
