FL - Lewis Spivey charged for murdering Monica Rollins and 6-year old son Dalton in 2002 - July 2, 2023

A man serving time in a Florida prison was just transferred to an Alabama jail for a 2002 double murder he allegedly just confessed to.

In September 2002, Monica Rollins, 23, and her 6-year-old son, Dalton, were found dead at their home in Heflin, Alabama. The two had been stabbed to death. Monica was eight months pregnant.

Family showed up to her house after they hadn’t heard from her. When they arrived, they found the gruesome crime scene and Monica’s other son, 3-year-old Aaron, hiding in a closet. He was unharmed.

“Investigators believed the assault caused Monica to go into early labor, which resulted in the partial delivery and death of her third son,” detectives wrote in an old press release.

The horrifying case went cold.

With help from the state, grant money from Seasons of Justice, and a literal “truck load of evidence,” investigators were able to make an arrest more than 20 years after the crime.

What a horrifying crime. Her poor family. I hope her surviving son is doing ok.

Thanks for the link, @CharlesRedding !

Photos of the victims at the link.

A three year old survived, hope the little survivor --now in their early twenties-- is doing as well as can be expected.
Only three years of age -- hopefully some of the trauma has faded, or at least that the toddler didn't see or hear much.

At least the perp confessed but it irks me that he was able to live this long with the knowledge of the crimes and keep silent.
Omo.
