When Mickey Schwerner missed his call, the FBI got involved. The trio was pulled over outside Philadelphia, MS, and held. Chaney was booked; Schwerner and Goodman were held in connection with a church burning. What happened after their release at 10:30 PM remains a mystery. #CivilRights #Mississippi #FBI #History #MissingPersons #TheFBIFiles #TrueCrime | The FBI Files
