On July 22, 2002, brothers Larry Phelps, 62, and Arvine Phelps, 69, were killed while clearing land at the Mountain Top Boys Home in Walker County, Georgia. Both men were retired teachers and active in their churches; they had been helping at the residence for teenagers with juvenile court histories when they were confronted and robbed at point-blank range by a 21-year-old man identified as Donnie Allen Hulett.

According to the medical examiner, Arvine Phelps was shot multiple times and suffered severe blunt force trauma to the head. Larry Phelps was also shot and sustained a blunt force injury to the left side of his head before he died. After the attack the assailant stole Larry Phelps’s pickup truck and fled the scene.

A suspect was arrested and charged in connection with the killings. Did anyone in the community know the brothers or have information about that day that could shed more light on what happened?
