Captain Patrick A. Doe, a 30-year-old U.S. Army officer, was murdered on April 13, 1974, in Muscogee County, Georgia. He was estranged from his wife and was with his girlfriend, Marion Jones Miller, when both were killed in what authorities described as a planned, personal- motive attack. The weapon used was identified as a .38 Special automatic in a .45 frame.

Investigators tied the killings to Joseph Holcombe Mulligan, the brother of Doe’s estranged wife, who was accused of acting for financial gain — seeking to collect on a life insurance policy — and to remove Doe as a witness in another matter. Mulligan was arrested, tried, convicted of the murders, and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of the case, or information about Captain Doe or Marion Miller that could add context to what happened that spring?
