Summary

In Part 5, host Cameron Jay pays homage to Fox 5 Atlanta’s Randy Travis, a seasoned investigative reporter who singlehandedly gave the murders of Robbie Bryant and Genelle Helms the attention it deserved all those years ago. Randy will confirm some of what we have already learned, while explaining why this case mattered so much to him. Here's Randy's story mentioned in the episode: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/baby-kelsey-at-29-im-so-much-stronger-than-this-story

You’ll then hear from Kesley Bryant, the daughter of the slain couple, discuss how the loss of her birth parents has affected every aspect of her life– but also how she’s managed to work through those hardships and is leading a successful life she hopes her parents can now be proud of.

We’ll end the episode by speaking with ACCPD Police Chief Jerry Saulters, who explains where the case currently stands- and who authorities have their sights set on in the modern day.

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.

0:14.6	Listener discretion is advised. Welcome, welcome, welcome back to Classic City Crime. I'm Cameron Jay. And again, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for always listening, for showing up for these victims, for sharing their
0:39.4	stories, and for staying with me as we've gotten to know about the life and death of both Robbie and
0:47.2	Janelle. Murders, we now know were only complicated more by legal battles over money and custody
0:54.1	that we talked about in episode
0:55.9	four. Again, I want to admit, I know it hasn't been easy to follow, and it certainly hasn't

1:42.6	In this instance, there is not one reporter who gave this case more coverage
1:47.2	and more attention than Randy Travis of the Fox 5 Atlanta investigative team. I've mentioned him
1:55.6	in previous episodes, yes, but I want you to hear just how much Randy poured into this case.
2:03.7	He can recall details quite easily.
2:06.2	He was a young reporter in 1994 when this case came across the news desk, and he would not let it go.
