Tragic Tale Recounts First Murder On Uga Campus, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Tragic Tale Recounts First Murder On Uga Campus, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Popular Media
Nearly three-quarters of a century ago there was a double-slaying, a murder-suicide, in the second-oldest building still standing on the UGA campus. The killings sent ripples of horror through the Athens community. Although both victims were nonstudents visiting Athens, the double-slaying remains to this day the greatest tragedy involving a homicidal crime ever to occur on the UGA campus. The tragic incident has escaped mention in virtually every published history of Athens or the University of Georgia. Indeed, except for contemporary newspaper accounts, there does not appear to be anything in print giving an account of the double-killing.

The federal and state governments gather, correlate, publish, distribute, and publicize vast quantities of crime statistics each year. The FBI, for example, has prepared its Uniform Crime Reports for years, and during the last decade the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the U. S. Department of Justice has each year published a massive volume entitled "Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics." BJS also puts out numerous crime statistics "Bulletins" every year.
