Rollins was 8-and-a-half months pregnant when she was ruthlessly stabbed to death, Heflin Police Capt. Scott BonnerShe and Dalton were killed several days before their bodies were found in September 2002 in Heflin, a city 75 miles east of Birmingham.
They continued chasing down potential suspects over the past two decades, but the case remained cold, according to Bonner. “Spivey has since cooperated with the investigation and has given a complete confession wherein he outlined the timeline of the events that day and taken sole responsibility for both murders,” said Bonner.
The cold case investigator gave few details on what led to the break in the case, saying only that the department was given a grant for DNA analysis and several items were processed by a state lab and private labs in Canada.
