Steve Holland recounts strange events leading to Tupelo-based Netflix crime documentary

Mississippi Today’s Bobby Harrison and Geoff Pender talk with former state Rep. Steve Holland about the bizarre case of a Tupelo martial arts instructor mailing ricin to elected officials and attempting to frame an Elvis Presley impersonator for the crime. The episode is now the subject of a Netflix documentary entitled “The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga,” which premiers Wednesday. The documentary features details from Holland, whose mother, the late Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland, received the letters, along with former President Barack Obama and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker.
