But all of that made her a target.

Alberta's family noticed that Alberta was becoming paranoid in the months leading up to her death.

And I honestly hate that word because like paranoid makes it almost sound like this was like all in her head or whatever.

But like these were very real things that were happening to her before her death.

Alberta told her family about being followed and about people hitting her car, leaving scrapes.

It felt really intentional to her.

And Flora said she knew for a fact herself that Alberta wasn't just imagining things because one night in May of 1965, this is like three months before Alberta died.

Flora was actually driving Alberta's car, her distinctive car.

And she saw this car following her, like making every turn, every stop.

And Flora finally pulled over and confronted this other driver.

And she said in the car were two white men.

And they showed her a police badge.

Like Louisville PD?

That's what she thought.

And she said the men just laughed before speeding off.

But later it occurred to Flora they weren't following her.

They were following the pink Thunderbird.

They thought she was Alberta.

Yes.

And Flora also remembered one day when Alberta was talking on the phone to one of her friends.
