On the evening of October 19, 1979, in Richmond, Virginia, 23-year-old Judy Diane Barton, then eight months pregnant, was murdered in her home on Barton Avenue. The attack also killed her five-year-old son, Harvey Wayne Barton, and her common-law husband, Harvey W. Wilkerson. The victims were found two days later.

During the ransacking Judy Barton was sexually assaulted. Harvey Wilkerson was shot and killed by Meekins; James Briley then shot Judy Barton and her son Harvey.

The four assailants were arrested in the investigation into a wider violent crime spree in Richmond in 1979. James Briley was later convicted of the capital murders of Judy and her son and received two death sentences; Linwood Briley received a separate death sentence for another killing. Anthony Briley and Duncan Meekins testified against the brothers and received lengthy prison terms.

Did anyone in Richmond at the time remember the Barton family or have information about the night of October 19, 1979?
