Summary

In Part 2 of Robbie and Genelle, host Cameron Jay dives deeper into the lives of Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms as a couple, and how the birth of their baby girl changed their entire worlds just nine months before they were murdered.

We learn that the two were heavily invested in a local gaming group, which partook in everything from Live Action Role Playing outdoors on the fields at the University of Georgia, to Dungeons and Dragons. Together, we’ll learn that in this friend group, there was much more than meets the eye. Learn more about their interesting lives- and romances- by listening now!

Hosted, written and produced by Cameron Jay (@LifeofCameron). Original design by Kyle Kizziah (@Haizzik). Research assistance by Elizabeth Durusau.

Intro music exclusively for CCC by Ryan McDaniel.

0:20.1	Music Welcome, welcome, welcome back to classic city crime. I'm Cameron Jay. And I want to begin this episode by saying how much I appreciate each and every one of you for tuning in. You know, as I've always told you, this work is never easy.
1:01.3	Asking people to divulge some of the most tragic moments in their lives in such deep detail has to be quite difficult, and I still believe as I always have that by telling these stories,
1:09.6	by remembering and honoring the victims, and by telling
1:13.1	of what we know about the investigation all these years later, we will not only preserve

2:20.3	She was looking for that new start that I know I was looking for nearly a decade ago, and I'm sure many of you were looking for that too.
2:31.3	Like when she first went, I think she was ready to have a change in her life after being
2:35.8	in the Navy. And she was, she was just ready for that. She was ready to go to college. She was
2:40.3	ready for that time in her life to start. You know, several of us had been in college for a couple
