Murder Story

On April 12, 2002, Dorian Frank O'Kelley committed two murders in Chatham County, Georgia. He and an accomplice, Darryl Stinski, killed Susan Pittman, who was 41 years old, and her 13-year-old daughter Kimberly. After the murders, they set the Pittmans' house on fire.

The police discovered the fire early in the morning and arrived to see the house engulfed in flames. O'Kelley and Stinski were seen watching the smoke from across the street. Once the fire was extinguished, investigators found the remains of Susan and Kimberly inside the home.

The authorities found a red duffle bag later that contained stolen items, including pill bottles with Susan Pittman’s name. Witnesses reported that O'Kelley bragged about the murders, claiming he had tortured and killed the victims. The day after the murders, O'Kelley and Stinski were arrested.

O'Kelley confessed to officers, describing details of the attack. In 2005, he was found guilty of multiple charges, including murder, arson, and burglary. His sentencing included the death penalty due to the brutal nature of the crimes.

Following his conviction, O'Kelley appealed his death sentence, arguing that his trial had unfair aspects, such as biased jurors. His appeal was heard by the Georgia Supreme Court.
