Serial killer confesses to 10-year-old
Atlanta murder
August 31, 2007
US/GA/Atlanta - An
admitted serial killer from Gwinnett County has
confessed to snatching and brutally killing an
Atlanta woman who was headed to a bus stop on her
way to work a decade ago.
Charles Lee Duffy, 31, of
Norcross, pleaded guilty this week to kidnapping
Priscilla Culberson, 48, raping and severely beating
and strangling her on June 24, 1997.
Fulton County
Superior Court Judge Michael Johnson sentenced Duffy
to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
When Culberson didn’t show up for
work as usual, her relatives told police she was
missing and then went out searching on their own.
Hours later, the victim’s 20-year-old daughter found
her mother’s nude body in a wooded lot off
Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta.
Duffy pleaded guilty last year to
murdering two women in DeKalb County in 1997. Those
murders and the Atlanta killing had remained cold
cases for years until police got a tip on the case
last year.
Culberson fought her killer,
whose blood was on the victim’s clothes,
investigators said.
That blood, along with semen, was
tested this year and connects Duffy to the victim,
District Attorney Paul Howard said last year after
announcing Duffy’s indictment despite Duffy’s
insistence that he was innocent.

searched Wednesday for a man they believe killed a
minister's daughter and the wife of a Korean grocer.
Police think Charles Lee Duffy,

Rev. O.L. Blackshear Sr., pastor of Mount Pleasant
Baptist Church. Two days later, Mr. Duffy allegedly
used the same gun to shoot Pok Yeo Kim, 52, as she
stood behind the counter of her husband's store,
police said.
