Summary

In Part 1 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay takes listeners back to 1994 in Athens, Georgia, where Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms were first getting their start in life. The episode will teach you more about both of them as individuals: who were they? What did they enjoy doing? What do their friends have to say about their lives?

We begin here because understanding who the victims were and how they lived their lives is always a key part in understanding why the young couple might have been murdered in 1994…and who might be involved.
