In the 1950s, Macon, Georgia, was a sleepy little town where doors remained unlocked and crime was something that occurred in other places. Then local restaurateur Anjette Lyles was charged with murders, over a seven year period, of two husbands, of her mother-in-law, and of her nine-year-old daughter. The case was the most sensational Macon had ever seen. The newspaper accounts spiced up the allegations of murder with references to voodoo ceremonies and black magic. The trial attracted record crowds and received worldwide coverage. Anjette was a glamorous figure and spectators stood in line for hours, hoping for just a glance at the defendant.

Jacyln Weldon White is the Juvenile Court Administrator in Gwinnett County, Georgia. She has worked in the field of law enforcement since 1978. She has been published in various newspapers and journals around the state of Georgia.
