Unraveling a Cold Case: The Shocking Murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan and Its Twisted Aftermath
On January 16, 1987, Lita McClinton Sullivan was murdered in her Buckhead home by a gunman hired by her husband, James Sullivan, as they were in the process of finalizing their divorce. The case remained unsolved for nearly 20 years, with James Sullivan eventually extradited from Thailand and convicted of murder in 2006, while the triggerman, Phillip Anthony Harwood, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2003. The high-profile case will be featured on ABC's "20/20" and has also inspired a book titled "A Devil Went Down to Georgia."
