On an autumn evening in 1986 a violent home invasion in a Dekalb, Georgia condominium ended with three people killed and one survivor. Margaret Sweat, 45, was in the living room with Wayne Smith and his son Steven when two men, Larry Grant Lonchar and Mitchell Wells, entered claiming to be special agents. Lonchar allegedly handcuffed Wayne and Steven before the attack.

Margaret Sweat was shot in the shoulder and stabbed seventeen times in the neck and three times in the chest. Wayne and Steven Smith were also murdered; a third son, Richard Smith, was shot multiple times but survived and later testified at trial. Lonchar and Wells were arrested, and Lonchar was convicted on three counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault. Lonchar received death sentences for each murder and was executed in 1996.

Anyone who knew Margaret Sweat or the Smith family, or who has information about the case, is asked to share what they remember.
