In Part 7 of Classic City Crime's exclusive look at the historic murder of Theodore T.K. Harty, host Cameron Jay sits down with two professors of forensic psychology to discuss the minds of John Mooney and Elmo Florence, and what they possibly could have been thinking when they hatched the plan to threaten and kill T.K. Harty. 



You'll meet UGA Forensic Psychology professor Trina Cyterski and Debra Cowart Steckler, professor of psychological studies at Martha Washington University. While Cyterski offers an academic look at the role psychopathy might have played in the lives of those involved, Steckler provides a personal and reflective account of her own interactions with John Henry Mooney as a waitress at Somebody's Pizza in 1977.

Special Report: Who Killed Elijah Wood?

In this exclusive CCC special, host Cameron Jay sits down with creator and host of 'In The Red Clay' podcast Sean Kipe to discuss his journey back in time to uncover the life of Billy Sunday Birt and the ultimate formation of the Dixie Mafia. The two talk about the turning points of the 12 part series, what Kipe thinks about everything he uncovered, and we look for the lessons that we all might learn by examining the life and acts of Billy Birt-- perhaps the most dangerous, and lethal, man in Georgia history.

Special Report: 'In The Red Clay' with Sean Kipe

In Part 1 of our new mini-series regarding the 1987 murders of a retired couple and woman, her sister, and her niece begins with an introduction to the Classic City at the time. It was a place moving and grooving with local music on the rise, bands going national, and relatively little violent crime. That is, until April of 1987, when Drs. Glenn and Rachel Sutton were murdered in their Oglethorpe Avenue home. In this episode, host Cameron Jay introduces listeners to the Suttons, their home, and their life devoted to academics and service.

Smith and Scott Berry who both worked the scene of the crime. 

And, we hear foreshadowing of events to come. Was the killer finished? Well, the answer may surprise you- just as it surprised an entire city in 1987. Listen in for more!

In Part 3, Host Cameron Jay introduces listeners to the life and work of Ann Orr Morris, Sally Nathanson, and Helen Nathanson-- 'The Women of Carr's Hill."

In 1987, Ann Orr Morris lived with her husband on a family estate. Not far away stood the home of her sister, Sally. Sally and her adoptive daughter, Helen, lived together in another home on the 28-acre estate.

Until one day, they too encountered a similar fate to The Suttons. With the town now facing the thought of two different homicidal events, would answers finally come and an arrest finally be made?

We're back this week with a special report regarding the life of Elijah James Wood, who was shot in neighboring Oconee County, Georgia on March 19.

We have all heard so much about what happened that night. We've heard a lot of buzz and speculation about who might be involved. But Classic City Crime wants to make sure that Elijah's life and his impact on others is not minimized in all of that.
