Arvine Phelps, 69, and his brother Larry were volunteering on July 22, 2002, clearing trees for a new building at the Mountain Top Boys Home in Walker, Georgia, when both were ambushed. Larry ran to help and was also shot; the assailant then came down the hill, beat both men with a blunt object, robbed them and fled in Larry’s pickup truck.

Investigators linked Hulett to the scene; he was arrested in Casa Grande, Arizona, on August 2, 2002, and charged with two counts of malice murder and related offenses. Fingerprints tied him to a vehicle abandoned near the scene. A Walker County jury convicted Donnie Allen Hulett in 2004 and a judge later sentenced him to death.

Does anyone have memories of the Mountain Top Boys Home area in 2002 or information about the Phelps brothers that could shed more light on that day?
