The Murder of Lita McClinton
When a delivery man showed up at Lita McClinton’s Buckhead townhouse with a box of pink long stem roses, she probably thought it was a sweet gesture before a stressful day in court. Instead, it was the last thing she ever saw.
From the jump, everyone knew who was behind this. But proving it? That was a whole different battle. It took 20 years, a messy divorce, a wiretapping scandal, an FBI raid, a fugitive on the run, and literal doorbell sound effects in court before justice was finally served.
This one’s got everything - money, power, revenge, and a guy who really thought he was too rich to get caught.
