Lula Bell McAfee, 86, was found murdered in her Atlanta home on August 28, 1988. A roommate discovered her naked body face-down on the bed; an autopsy determined she had been strangled with a strip of cloth and sexually assaulted. The bedroom was ransacked, and a briefcase, car keys, and money were reported missing. The bathroom window screen had been removed and was found on the ground outside, suggesting entry that way.

Her killing was linked to a series of similar early-morning attacks in the Atlanta area in which the assailant entered through a window, sexually assaulted, and strangled multiple women. Authorities identified Lyndon Fitzgerald Pace as the primary suspect in McAfee’s death and three other homicides. He was arrested, tried, and a jury convicted him of multiple counts including malice murder and rape, with the jury recommending the death penalty for each murder conviction.

Did anyone in Atlanta at the time know McAfee’s routines, who might have seen someone near her home that morning?
