In this gripping deep dive, The Black Docket takes you inside one of the most controversial serial murder cases in the American South: the story of Carlton Michael Gary, the man Georgia labeled “The Stocking Strangler.”

From Columbus, Georgia to Albany and Syracuse, New York, this episode uncovers decades of unanswered questions, racial power dynamics, missing evidence, DNA surprises, and a death sentence carried out under a cloud of doubt.

Did Georgia execute the right man?
Was Carlton Gary truly the Stocking Strangler… or did fear, race, and power decide the outcome before the truth ever got a chance?

In this episode, we break it all the way down:

• The Columbus murders that terrorized a city

• Carlton Gary’s childhood, crimes, and New York connections

• Fingerprints, survivor IDs, and the “confession” that was never recorded

• Evidence the jury never heard: lab notes, bite marks, shoe sizes & more

• DNA that ties him to one victim, and to a separate murder in New York

• The racial power structure behind the case

• His 2018 execution and the lingering doubts that refuse to die

If you love true crime, forensic twists, racial justice analysis, wrongful conviction debates, serial killer investigations, and deep Black storytelling, this is the perfect episode to start with.
