Wow, she pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter of HER MOTHER in 1997.
(from the above article)
 
They are also looking into her husbands death (second article)

A year later, in the fall of 1997, Frye was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sent to Pulaski State Prison for the poisoning death of her 64-year-old mother. Her mother’s remains, exhumed from Riverside Cemetery after she died in February 1996, showed signs that she had succumbed to an overdose of antidepressants.

Meanwhile, Reece says the Sheriff's Office will "certainly" take another look at the death of Moss' husband last year.
Reece says that will be difficult considering Urban Moss's body was cremated. He had a heart attack and fell in the shower about five months ago, according to Reece.

In the post below, I am bringing over information from my today's post in this victim's Information and Support thread to begin a Trial thread. (I think there never was a discussion thread for him here on WS.)

The Information and Support thread for Mr. Coker is here:

Found Deceased GA - William Coker, 67, Macon, 13 Mar 2012 - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community



ETA:
I have changed the title of this thread to show the victim's name as William Douglas Coker, Sr., which is how it is shown on the arrest warrant for Moss, according to an MSM story. I hope this is correct -- I have also seen the name given as William G. "Doug" Coker and a couple of other ways, as well. Decided to go with the name on the warrant:

Moss indicted by grand jury for Coker murder

His body was found under her back porch

...The Jones County Sheriff Captain gave details of the murder in the arrest warrant for Moss. “The defendant did unlawfully and with malice aforethought cause the death of William Douglas Coker, Sr. The victim met with the defendant on or about March 13, 2012,” according to the warrant. ...

Backwoods, thanks for all your postings on this case. I totally missed this case. I am glad the Georgia jury wasn't fooled. 30 minutes to decide ~ gotta love that!

Why did she owe money to Mr Coker? What was their business connection?

I'm assuming after she did not show up to meet with him at McD's he went to her house. Were there phone calls between them?

I really do not know all the details, noZme, but one of the articles from the trial I linked says:

Judy Coker feared her husband might get hurt when he drove to Macon in March 2012 to meet Pamela Moss at the Bass Road McDonald’s to get $85,000 that Moss owed him.

Doug Coker, a Henry County businessman, had given her the money because Moss, a grant writer, was helping him set up a nonprofit organization to help people who couldn’t afford to buy homes.

But by March 13, 2012, Coker had figured out Moss was a “con person,” ...

So I guess maybe the situation was that he had given her some sort of advance money on the project, then figured out she was misrepresenting something, pulling some kind of con, maybe...? Really not sure!

If you are interested, you might look back at the articles in the original Missing - Information and Support thread for Mr. Coker -- I think there is some info there, too, in the later links. (It is not a very long thread.):

http://www.henryherald.com/news/2014/may/30/id-network-to-feature-henry-case/

A popular true crime network is set to feature the case of a missing Henry County businessman found murdered in Middle Georgia.

Few details were available at press time other than the case will be profiled on an ID network show in the fall.

Businessman William G. “Doug” Coker went missing March 13, 2012. His body was found days later under the backyard porch of a house inside River North, a gated community in Jones County.
