Carolyn Bryant Donham, now 88, has managed to go unseen since 2004, going on to live a long life - and now spending her final days in apparent tranquility - despite her role in 14-year-old Emmett Till's lynching in 1955.

At the time Donham was a 21-year-old married mother-of-two who accused the young Black boy of whistling at her - a violation of the South's racist societal codesat a Mississippi store, setting off his brutal murder.

She was living in a small apartment community in Kentucky with her son, Thomas Bryant, 71, Donham, who was wearing a nasal cannula looped over her ears and into her nose, suffers from cancer, is legally blind, and is receiving end of life hospice care in her home.

When approached by DailyMail.com, Donham stood by silently behind her son, who shook his head when asked if either would speak about Till.

Till's beaten and mutilated body was thrown in the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi, weighted down with a large fan from a cotton gin, before being pulled out three days later on August 28.

Donham's then husband Roy Bryant and his brother John Milam were later tried and acquitted of Till's murder, while she went on to evade charges or any consequences in a case that shocked the world for its brutality.
