“He had a strong passion for law enforcement, particularly in Southern West Virginia. He’s well known to all the agencies in the area, and not only through his photography, but also through his work through unsolved cold cases homicide,” said George Bragg son Morgan Bragg.

George Bragg died on March 27th from complications following heart surgery.
