In December 1982, Michael Ray Lambrix was serving a sentence for violating probation when he escaped from a work release detail. Six weeks later, he and his girlfriend met Aleisha Bryant and Clarence Moore Jr. outside a bar.
Lambrix and his girlfriend invited Bryant and Moore back to their trailer. Lambrix lured Moore outside, then attacked him with a tire iron, fracturing his skull. Then he kicked Bryant in the head and strangled her.
