Peggy Phillips Broz, 52, was shot and killed in the driveway of her home in Lillian, Alabama, on Friday, February 3, 2017. A respiratory therapist by profession, Broz was ambushed after returning from work when two suspects followed her to her house and shot her to steal her vehicle; the car was later found abandoned.

Investigators linked the attack to a multi-state crime spree. The pair identified in connection with Broz’s killing were William Billy Boyette and Mary Rice, who had been accused of earlier murders in Florida and of killing Kayla Crocker during a home invasion in Beulah, Florida. The manhunt ended at a motel in West Point, Georgia, where Boyette died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and Rice surrendered to authorities.

Rice later faced charges tied to the string of killings, including convictions reported for the Florida homicides and additional charges in Alabama related to Broz’s death. Anyone who knew Peggy Broz or saw suspicious activity near her Lillian home on February 3, 2017, is asked to come forward with information.
