Wybett Chambers, a Black woman, was killed in early May 1986 in Starkville, Mississippi.

An arrest on April 17, 1987, in Starkville of Jerry Marcus—later linked by investigators to multiple killings—changed the picture. Marcus confessed to the murders of at least seven women and specifically named Wybett Chambers among them. Marcus, born in 1951 in Tuskegee, Alabama, was later tried and in 1990 convicted for the 1987 murder of Wydeane Ellerbee and received a life sentence; his confession is the basis for identifying Chambers’ killer.

If anyone knew Wybett, her last movements, or has information that could clarify details about her death, please share what is known.
