In the late summer of 1990, the bodies of Arthur Lee Jones and Linda Lisa Seaborne were found inside a car on a quiet dirt road in Spalding County, Georgia. Both victims had been shot in the head at close range; forensic examination showed powder burns and blood spatter consistent with a muzzle an inch from Jones’ head while he sat upright.

Investigators focused on Curtis Osborne, who was dating Melinda Jones, Arthur’s sister. Jones had entrusted Osborne with selling his motorcycle, and Osborne allegedly kept the $400 from that sale. Osborne later confessed to the shootings but claimed self-defense, saying Jones reached for a weapon; investigators reported physical evidence that contradicted that account.

Osborne was arrested two days after the murders, tried in Spalding County, and convicted of the killings. In August 1991 he was sentenced to death. If anyone knew Arthur Lee Jones, Linda Seaborne, or saw activity on that dirt road in early August 1990, any information could help fill gaps in the case.
