By 1974, the five men who conspired to kill Solicitor General Floyd

Horde had been in prison for six years. Chief among them was Cliff Park, the long-time bootleging king of Jackson County, Georgia.

He had ordered and paid for the assassination of Floyd Horde at Hoard's home in the town of Jefferson, the county seat of Jackson County.

And while Cliff Park had seniority in the criminal underworld of Jackson County, he was

in his late 70s when he was convicted and had been in the bootlegging

business for nearly 50 years. He probably wasn't the most notorious criminal in the county.

That honor likely belonged to Ambay DeWitt Allen Jr.

Crime was a family profession for the Allen's.

A.D. Allen's two brothers, his son, his nephew, and probably a bunch of others were involved in all kinds of crimes.

Alan may have softly organized a murder of a man in the mid 1950s.

He ran a car theft ring from his hometown of commerce in Jackson County.

He was involved in bootlegging, an illegal gambling.

And then, in October of 1973, he was involved in kidnapping and armed robbery. He and two other men broke into the home of a bank vice president in the tiny town of Molina, an hour and a half south of Atlanta.

The robbers held the man's family hostage overnight

and forced him to open the bank vault the next morning. The robbers were caught in December

1973, convicted at trial, and sent to prison in 1974.

Shortly after that in March of 1974, there was an armed robbery of a bank in Loganville, Georgia, and that was when the criminal

career of Billy Sunday Bert came to a head.

Despite the terror that serial killer Paul John Knowles, known as the Casanova killer,

would inflict on Georgia later that year, Billy Sundaybert is often referred to as the

deadliest man in Georgia history.

Paul John Knowles killed at least 18 people and maybe as many as 35.
