It should have been a routine traffic case. James Dawson was stopped for speeding and arrested for driving on a suspended license. He was taken to jail. Behind bars, he died, allegedly by suicide. James was an upbeat young man, opposed to all thought of suicide. So his sister, Margaret, embarked on a relentless search to prove a cover-up in her brother's death. She quit her job of 23 years to investigate his demise. After thoroughly dissecting every event surrounded his death, she uncovered an overwhelming number of unusual and suspicious circumstances indicating a wrongful death. "As I Travel Through the Valley of the Death" takes us inside a family's worst nightmare: seeking justice only to find door after door being closed in their faces.
