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.
