An Alabama True Crime Account of Judith Ann Neelley, Interstate Kidnapping, and Death Row Sentences

In the autumn of 1982, eighteen-year-old Judith Ann Neelley and her husband Alvin Neelley engaged in a violent kidnapping and murder spree across Alabama and Georgia, resulting in the torture and deaths of thirteen-year-old Lisa Ann Millican and young mother Janice Kay Chatman.

Edgar Award-nominated author Thomas H. Cook documents the multi-state law enforcement pursuit, the recovery of forensic evidence in DeKalb County, Alabama, and the subsequent high-profile trials. The volume analyzes Judith's claim of coercion by her husband, the jury verdicts, and her status as one of the youngest women sentenced to Alabama's death row.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Thomas H. Cook crafts a literary true crime narrative rich in Southern legal history and criminal psychology. Featuring courtroom transcripts and police investigation detail, this book appeals to readers of Truman Capote, Jerry Bledsoe, and Cormac McCarthy.
