Ashley Jones and Geramie Hart's Attack on the Nalls Family
On a sweltering August night in Alabama in 1999, neighbors of the Liz and Deroy Nalls heard the desperate cries of the couple’s 10-year-old granddaughter Mary. They discovered the child bleeding profusely as she stumbled down the dark road towards their home. The Nalls’ house was ablaze and Grandma Liz sat critically injured on a lawn chair underneath a tree in her front yard. As firefighters fought the flames, they discovered the tortured remains of two more Nalls’ family members. However, one person was unaccounted for that night: Mary’s 14-year-old sister, Ashley Jones. Listen to this week’s episode to learn about the tragic events that changed the lives of one Birmingham family forever.
