Cheryl Dee Fergeson Case On August 23, 1980, sixteen-year-old Cheryl Dee Fergeson, a volleyball player from a visiting high school, was raped and strangled in a Conroe High School restroom. After being reported missing, her body was found in the auditorium sound room loft by Clarence Brandley and another janitor. The victim was white, leading to a heated, racially charged court case due to evidence that the accused, black janitor Clarence Brandley, was convicted and sentenced to death based exclusively on his race. After 9 years on Death Row, Brandley was exonerated and released. Even though there was evidence pointing to two white males, neither has ever been charged. In 1991 British investigative journalist Nick Davies published "White Lies" - Rape, Murder, and Justice Texas Style. his investigation of the case. Clarence Brandley's story is also told in the movie Whitewash: The Clarence Bradley Story (2002) References External links Conroe High School Conroe High School Profile Conroe Independent School District Conroe Alumni Website Conroe Independent School District high schools Magnet schools in Texas Conroe, Texas 1964 establishments in Texas Educational institutions established in 1964
