Though a mob set fire to his body, officials were able to identify him as Shedrick Thompson, who had been wanted for the abduction and rape of a local white woman. Some claimed Thompson killed himself, framing his gruesome death as the final act of a desperate fugitive. But residents knew better. Thompson had been the victim of a lynching--the last one known in Virginia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003eThe Last Lynching in Northern Virginia\u003c\/em\u003e, author Jim Hall pieces together Thompson's life, the weeks-long manhunt to find him, and his final hours.
