This episode brings us to a quiet Atlanta suburban development turned crime scene. What should have been an ordinary day inside a Powder Springs, Georgia model home ended in brutal violence when Lori Brown and Cyndi Williams were murdered in a place designed to show welcoming and the promise of new beginnings.

At the center of it all is Stacey Ian Humphreys—a man whose movements sparked a tense, multi-state manhunt. As investigators raced to track him down, the case unraveled into a chilling timeline of betrayal, panic, and unanswered questions.

We break down what happened inside the model home, how the suspect managed to slip away, and the massive search effort that followed—including the clues that brought authorities closer and the details that still haunt those involved. Over 20 years later, the fate of Stacey Ian Humphreys remains in limbo, as his execution date was set and then delayed indefinitely. 

Stay spooky, darlings.
