Details: At 8pm on February 12, 1988, Geraldine George, a twenty-seven-year-old mother of two, returned home from work. She was dropped off by a coworker in front of her apartment at the City Court II Apartments in Talladega, Alabama. She had been separated from her thirty-two-year-old husband, Larry, for six months. He had a history of violence against her. Despite a restraining order, he had continued to harass her. He was a former army-enlisted man who considered himself a survivalist. During his military career, he was careless and disobedient, having little regard for authority. That evening, his obsession with Geraldine would turn deadly.
When Geraldine returned home, she went inside her apartment and dropped off her purse and some items she brought home from work. She walked next door to her neighbor's apartment. She had become friendly with her next-door neighbors, twenty-nine-year-old Janice A. Morris and her boyfriend, twenty-four-year-old Ralph Swain. She had two young children of her own and had agreed to take care of Geraldine's while she was at work. Geraldine sent them back to their apartment and talked briefly with Janice. Their conversation was short because Janice was on the phone with her mother, Jessie.
After finishing her conversation with Janice, Geraldine walked back next door. As she entered her apartment, she found Larry in the living room talking to their children. She asked him what he was doing there. He said he was just "visiting [his] children". She reminded him that he was not supposed to be there. She then threatened to call the police on him.
Larry asked Geraldine where she had been. She told him it was none of his business. He told her that she was supposed to be home taking care of their children. She told him to get out of her apartment. He told her that he did not want "those people" taking care of their children. She told him that he couldn't tell her what to do anymore. He said, "You're going to listen to me!" and pulled out a World War II German Luger. She told him to put it away. He responded by saying, "Ain't nobody running my house but me."
Geraldine asked her daughter to go upstairs, call her grandfather, and tell him that Larry was there. As she went upstairs, Larry followed her. Geraldine tried to stop him, but he pushed her away. As their daughter went to the phone, Larry picked it up and pulled the cord out of its jack. Fearing for her and her children's safety, Geraldine ran next door to get help. Janice was still on the phone with Jessie. Geraldine told her to hang up and call the police, saying that Larry had a gun.
Jessie heard Geraldine yelling, "Janice, Janice, call the police," in the background. She asked Janice who was talking, and she told her that it was Geraldine. She asked what was wrong, but Janice said she did not know. She told her that she would call her back and hung up. That was the last time she heard her voice.
