McCraney Admits to Prior Sexual Encounter with Victim in Murder Trial
Coley McCraney, the suspected killer of two teens in 1999, denied killing them but admitted to having sex with JB Beasley the night she died along with her friend Tracie Hawlett. He claimed he met Beasley a few weeks before the shootings and agreed to meet her at a convenience store where the girls were last seen. After they didn't show up, he left but returned later, where he encountered the teens, got into the car with them, and led them to where he had parked his truck and trailer in rural Dale County. He testified that one thing led to another and they ended up having sex.
