Another transgender murder - April 1999
The murder of Tracey Thompson in Wilcox County, Georgia on Tuesday, March 30 has prompted local transgender activists to declare a "state of emergency and national crisis."
Thompson, formerly known as Billy Joe Turner, was found severely bleeding from head wounds after walking a half-mile to a farmhouse in rural Georgia from the crime scene. She was beaten with a baseball bat and later died from the wounds, but only after police conducted some initial questioning.
Police say that Thompson identified her boyfriend as the assailant, although police have been unable to identify the boyfriend. Something of a drifter, police have had difficulties reconstructing Thompson's personal life and identifying the murderer.
