In late January 1996 a week-long burglary spree by Kenneth Earl Fults ended with the murder of 19-year-old Cathy Bonds of Spalding, Georgia. On the morning of January 30, after the man who lived with Bonds left for work, Fults forced entry into their home, confronted Bonds, bound her, wrapped more than six feet of electrical tape around her head covering her eyes, forced her into a bedroom, placed her face-down on the bed, covered her head with a pillow, and shot her five times in the back of the head.

Investigators found a letter Fults had written describing the killing and recovered shell casings and the 22-caliber handgun used, which had been hidden under his nearby trailer. Fults confessed when confronted, pleaded guilty to malice murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, burglary, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and a jury sentenced him to death in May 1997.
