Summary of Offense:

On the evening of February 5, 1983, Cary Michael Lambrix and his roommate, Frances Smith, met Clarence Moore (aka Lawrence Lamberson) and Aleisha Bryant at a tavern and then took them back to their trailer to eat. Lambrix first took Moore outside. Twenty minutes later he asked for Bryant to come outside. After 45 minutes, Lambrix returned to the trailer alone with a bloody shirt and tire iron in his hand. He informed Smith that he had killed both Moore and Bryant. He killed Moore by hitting him in the head and killed Bryant by strangulation. Smith then helped Lambrix clean up, bury the bodies and throw the bloody shirt and tire iron in to a nearby stream.

On February 8, 1983, Smith was arrested on an unrelated charge. On February 10, 1983, he informed the police about the two buried bodies. The police investigation led to the discovery of the bodies, Lambrix’s bloody shirt and the tire iron. The medical examination of the bodies confirmed Lambrix’s statements regarding the incident.

Lambrix was sentenced to death in Glades County on March 22, 1984.
