  • What Happened to Murdered Georgia Mom Debbie Collier?
    Nov 7 2022

    While there aren't many concrete investigative details surrounding the woman's initial disappearance, here's everything we know about the case:  Deborrah Todd Collier was a 59-year-old Athens resident, according to police.   Police identified Collier's adult daughter as Amanda Bearden. She told investigators that her mother had no history of mental illness and that she had a "bad back," indicating to law enforcement she couldn't walk far on foot.  Carriage House Realty, Inc. in Athens employed someone by the name of Debbie Collier as a Front Office Manager, according to the website. The company's social media had not publicly acknowledged Debbie Collier's death as of Sept. 22.  Debbie Collier appears to have shared a Facebook account with her husband, Steve Collier.   Collier was reported missing from Athens on Sept. 10. Her daughter, Amanda Bearden, told investigators that her mother’s car was in the shop at the time and that she left home in a rented Chrysler Pacifica SUV, carrying only her license and a debit card.   Based on the incident report narrative from the Habersham County Sheriff's Office, Athens-Clarke County police received assistance from Habersham deputies on Sept. 11.   Disturbing details were revealed in the case of Georgia's mother stripped, burned, and killed  Athens-Clarke County police are revealing more of the disturbing details surrounding Debbie Collier's death. She is the woman who was found naked, partially burned, dead, and "grasping a small tree" in the woods.  In the afternoon on Sept. 11, Habersham County deputies and Tallulah Falls Police Department officers responded to the area on Ga. Highway 15 in Clarkesville where Collier's car was reported.   A police sergeant found a car parked in an apparent "pull-off" that led to an old logging road off Ga. Highway 15 on the northbound side, according to an incident report.   A Tallulah Falls police officer told investigators the car was in the same spot at around 5 p.m. on Sept. 10. In the investigative report, the officer said it's ordinary for cars to pull over in the area.   A memorial sits on the side of the road where the Athens woman’s body was found.  The car was unlocked and empty, according to the investigative narrative.   Law enforcement called Georgia State Patrol Aviation for help.   Someone working for Sirius XM contacted Habersham County Sheriff's Office investigators on behalf of Athens-Clarke County police regarding the location of Debbie Collier's car.  The satellite radio provider said there was a signal coming from Ga. Highway 15 and Victory Home Lane in Clarkesville.   Not every car with Sirius XM is capable of being tracked by law enforcement.   The GBI crime lab is annalizing Debbie Collier's body and items from her car. Investigators' findings are still pending.   #DebbieCollier #truecrime #JusticeForDebbie  SUBSCRIBE HERE: www.youtube.com/c/deeptruecrime?sub_confirmation=1 SUPPORT MY WORK Buy Me a Coffee ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/deeptruecrime ☕   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA  www.twitter.com/deeptruecrime www.facebook.com/deeptruecrime www.tiktok.com/@deeptruecrime www.instagram.com/deeptruecrime  Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.

  • St. Louis 'Package Killer' Caught After 32 Years | While Serving Life Sentence For Another Murder
    Oct 31 2022

    Gary Muehlberg has confessed to at least 4 killings after being sentenced to a life sentence without the possibility of parole.  On March 26, 1990, the body of 19-year-old Robyn J. Mihan was discovered alongside a Highway stuffed between two mattresses in Silex, Missouri. She had been reported missing four days prior on March 22. An autopsy showed that she had been strangled, and her hands were bound together. She had worked as a prostitute.  On June 11, 1990, the body of 40-year-old Donna Reitmeyer was found inside a rubber trash bin near South Broadway. Her body was so badly decomposed that the cause of death remains unknown, but signs of violence were located.  On October 4, the body of a woman was found inside a plastic trash can along a roadside near Interstate 270 by a jogger who had noticed a foul odor. The woman remained unidentified for months until police were able to confirm the woman was 27-year-old Brenda Jean Pruitt, whose family had reported her missing on May 9.  On February 17, 1991, the body of a woman was found stuffed in a wooden box along the I-70. The victim was found to have been wearing a stocking cap, and authorities released the type of cap in hopes to identify the body. She was identified as 21-year-old Sandy Little, who had been missing since September 4, 1990. She was found to have worked as a sex worker.  On May 12, 1991, the body of 37-year-old Sandra Cain was found on the road along Interstate 44. An autopsy wasn't able to confirm the cause of death but narrowed it down to that she either had been hit by a car or thrown off the overpass. Cain had worked as a sex worker, and reportedly, victim Sandy Little had told Cain to not go with the man in the station wagon. It is speculated that the man is the killer.  #PackageKiller #STLPackageKiller #GaryMuehlberg #truecrime   SUBSCRIBE HERE: www.youtube.com/c/deeptruecrime?sub_confirmation=1 SUPPORT MY WORK Buy Me a Coffee ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/deeptruecrime ☕   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA  www.twitter.com/deeptruecrime www.facebook.com/deeptruecrime www.tiktok.com/@deeptruecrime www.instagram.com/deeptruecrime  Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.

  • Tim Norman of 'Welcome to Sweetie Pie's' Had Nephew Murdered
    Oct 29 2022
    A federal jury on Friday convicted a former star of the St. Louis-based reality TV show “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” of arranging the shooting death of his nephew. The jury deliberated about 17 hours over three days before reaching its verdict in the murder-for-hire case against James “Tim” Norman, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Norman and his nephew, Andre Montgomery, both starred in the long-running OWN reality show about a popular soul-food business founded in the St. Louis area by Robbie Montgomery — Norman’s mother and Andre’s grandmother. Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty but Norman could be sentenced to life in prison. Sentencing is set for Dec. 15. Federal prosecutors said Norman, 43, hired two people to kill the 21-year-old Montgomery on March 14, 2016, then tried to cash a $450,000 life insurance policy taken out on his nephew months earlier. Defense attorney Michael Leonard said after the verdict that he and Norman were “extremely surprised and disappointed in the outcome” of the case. He said they plan to appeal and that Norman continues to be optimistic that he will eventually prevail. Leonard said the testimony during the trial of two co-conspirators was shown to be “extremely non-credible.” And he said Norman testified well during the trial, noting he was not cross-examined. U.S. Attorney Sayler Fleming said she was “very, very pleased” with the verdict but that her office would make no further statements until after the sentencing. During closing arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Angie Danis said Norman was the architect of the plan to kill Montgomery. “This plan doesn’t exist but for Tim Norman’s greed,” Danis said. Leonard argued in his closing argument that the murder plot presented by prosecutors was a “made up theory.” Prosecutors said Norman paid $10,000 to an exotic dancer, Terica Ellis, to lure his nephew to the site where he was shot and paid $5,000 to Travell Anthony Hill to shoot Montgomery. Ellis and Hill both testified for the prosecution in the case. They have both pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme. In testimony during the trial, Norman said he helped his nephew move to St. Louis about 18 months before he was killed and supported him financially because he was trying to watch out for Montgomery. He said he sought to be a “father figure” to his brother’s son. Former Sweetie Pie’s employees and other character witnesses testified that Norman and his nephew had a close relationship. Danis said all the testimony from the scheme’s co-conspirators was backed up in trial by texts, call records, and location data. She said Norman created “an image of being a mentor and a father figure to all these people, but it’s fiction.” Leonard said during his closing argument that Ellis testified to get a shorter sentence and said Hill admitted he was a heavy drug user and that he was “hopped up on drugs that day.” Norman testified Tuesday that he took out the life insurance policy on his nephew to give a longtime customer of the family restaurants, Waiel Rebhi Yaghnam, some business. Yaghnam pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and wire fraud in the case. Montgomery left St. Louis after at least $220,000 in cash, jewelry, and other items were stolen in a June 2015 burglary at Robbie Montgomery’s home. Norman told jurors he and his mother hired a private investigator to find and confront his nephew about the robbery but he had no intention of hurting him. #TimNorman #WelcometoSweetiePies #andremontgomery #truecrimestory SUBSCRIBE HERE: www.youtube.com/c/deeptruecrime?sub_confirmation=1 SUPPORT MY WORK Buy Me a Coffee ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/deeptruecrime ☕ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA www.twitter.com/deeptruecrime www.facebook.com/deeptruecrime www.tiktok.com/@deeptruecrime www.instagram.com/deeptruecrime Co --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/deeptruecrime/support
