SOLVED After 20 Years: The Ozark Double Homicide of JB Beasley & Tracy Hawlett

On a sweltering Alabama night in 1999, two best friends—17-year-old JB Beasley and Tracy Hawlett—vanished after getting lost on their way home from a birthday party. By sunrise, their black Mazda was found abandoned on Herring Avenue… and what police discovered inside the trunk would haunt an entire community for decades.

Execution-style murders. DNA left at the scene. Hundreds of suspects interviewed. False confessions. A mysterious white pickup truck. Explosive allegations of police corruption. And a killer hiding in plain sight—living just one mile from the crime scene.

For 20 years, this case remained one of Alabama’s most chilling cold cases… until groundbreaking forensic genealogy exposed a truth no one expected.
