Alicia Lynn Yarbrough, 21, was murdered in Spalding, Georgia after being abducted from her home in the late hours of November 16, 1993. At the time she was living with Charles Puckett; she had been in a sporadic relationship with Willie James Pye. Pye, Chester Adams, and 15-year-old Anthony Freeman came to the house wearing ski masks, forced entry after Yarbrough screamed, held her at gunpoint, and, finding no money, stole a ring and a necklace. They then took her from the house while her infant was left alone, drove to a motel where all three raped her at gunpoint, and later forced her to lie face down on a deserted dirt road where Pye shot her three times. Her body was found on November 17, 1993.

The investigation led to the arrest of Pye, Adams, and Freeman. Freeman confessed and agreed to testify; he reached a plea deal. A Spalding County grand jury indicted Willie James Pye on February 7, 1994, on malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, armed robbery, burglary, rape, and aggravated sodomy. In June 1996 a jury convicted Pye of malice murder and other counts and recommended the death penalty; he also received three life sentences plus twenty years. Chester Adams pleaded guilty in April 1997 to malice murder and related charges and received five consecutive life sentences.

Did anyone in the community know Alicia or have information about the events that night?
