Summary: On May 27, 1983, an explosion at an illegal fireworks manufacturing operation on Webb’s Bait Farm near Benton, Tennessee, killed 11 people. We will examine the blast scene and the victims’ injury patterns alongside evidence of the explosive materials stored at the site and used to manufacture fireworks. The case illustrates how scene findings and injury evidence can help investigators reconstruct the effects of a blast even when the exact trigger remains undetermined.
