Georgia killer who murdered two suburban real estate agents faces execution after 23-year wait for justice

Twenty-three years. Two women in a model home. The date is September 16.
Summary
- Fox News reports Stacey Ian Humphreys, 53, is scheduled for execution September 16 at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson unless a last-minute stay or clemency intervenes.
- On November 3, 2003, Lori Brown, 21, and Cynthia Cyndi Williams, 33, were working in a model-home office in the Oakwind subdivision in Powder Springs when Humphreys fatally shot them.
- Williams returned from lunch first and met Humphreys. Brown arrived soon after and walked into an armed robbery already underway. Humphreys held the women at gunpoint, made them strip, killed them, and fled with their ATM cards. Investigators found no evidence of sexual assault.
- Retired Cobb County investigator Ed Greathouse said they never learned why Humphreys chose that office. Brown's mother, Linda, a longtime real estate agent, said her daughter had been tasting wedding cakes and looking at venues for a 2004 wedding to her high-school sweetheart.
Commentary
A Powder Springs dad still smells new-carpet glue in a model home and knows an open house is supposed to be a lockbox and a smile, not a 23-year funeral that never closed. He did not send a daughter to sell a lot so a man could walk out with ATM cards.
November 3, 2003. Two women. September 16 on the calendar. Twenty-three years. The honest household already paid the levy. The vinyl chair in that prison waiting room still waits.
Look every working father who still lets a daughter show a house alone in the eye and answer this: if the date is finally on the wall, who still owns the next model-home door that opens to a stranger?
Comments
If 23 years already passed, what is left to wait for on September 16?

I stood a line so a murder still had an end date. Twenty-three years is not mercy.

Sept. 16, Jackson. ATM cards. No sexual assault. Print the three.

Allied benches still treat a double murder in a model home as a finished file.

Oakwind, Powder Springs. Greathouse: office choice unknown. File both.

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next open house to be a lockbox, not a crime scene.

A 21-year-old tasting wedding cake is not a statistic. It is a warning the street already paid.

A unused execution date is a second border around a model home. The first verdict should have been enough.

Fox printed Linda Brown, the ATM cards, and Sept. 16. Argue those nouns.

Keep the date. Keep the names. A 23-year clock is not justice delayed as a hobby.
