After a brief investigation by local and state authorities, the case went cold. In the fall of 1980, a farmer clearing a field south of town discovered a buried object, a box containing the dismembered remains of the missing woman. After several months of investigation, police arrested "Foxy" Wilcox, his son Keller Wilcox, and two long-term African American employees of Wilcox Advertising. Keller was charged with Hanks's murder, and the others with concealing a death. The Wilcoxes were members of a prominent and wealthy Valdosta family. To defend their case, they hired famed defense attorney Bobby Lee Cook. Keller Wilcox's murder trial in January 1982 pitted Cook against a local prosecution team led by district attorney Lamar Cole. The case against Wilcox was entirely circumstantial, making the outcome uncertain. After a trial marked by controversy and conflicting testimony, Wilcox was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, all the while proclaiming his innocence. In 1985 he was freed by a federal judge based primarily on the harsh interrogation of the black witnesses. The true story of this horrific murder has all the elements of a work of suspense fiction: money, power, sex, race, and the haves vs. the have-nots. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Cook, Bobby Lee. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2002105603 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Murder $z Lowndes County. $z Lowndes County. 650 0 $a Murder $z Georgia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z Lowndes County. $z Lowndes County. 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Trials (Murder) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156368 651 7 $a Georgia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204622 651 7 $a Georgia $z Lowndes County. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208840 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 710 2 $a Mercer University Press. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n94098037 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=08C140589F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
