I have known about the murder of my great uncle, Odell Weatherman for some time but the fact he was murdered was all I knew. I just found an article about it. (Article posted below.) What was the outcome of the trial of his wife, Mae Evelyn? Does anyone know her maiden name? Any info would be appreciated.
