Priscilla Culberson, 48, was reported missing from Atlanta on June 24, 1997 after she failed to appear for work. Family members began a search when they could not reach her. Her purse and other personal items were found bloodied and discarded along Campbelton Road, and later that night her nude body was found in a wooded lot near a MARTA bus stop in southwest Atlanta by her 20-year-old daughter.

Investigators determined Culberson had been raped, strangled, and beaten; semen and blood were collected at the scene, and some of the blood on her clothing belonged to the assailant. The case went cold for years until 2005, when re-examination of the evidence produced a DNA match to Charles Lee Duffy. Duffy, already serving a life sentence for two other murders committed in the weeks after Culberson’s death, confessed to kidnapping, raping, and killing her. In 2007 he pleaded guilty to malice murder and received an additional life sentence without parole.

Did anyone who knew Priscilla or who lived near Campbelton Road or the MARTA stop in June 1997 see anything suspicious that night?
