What happened on the night of December 22, 2019, in Mississippi?
Our card this week is George Kirkland, Asia Norman, and Lindsey Foster Herr, the two of clubs from Mississippi. When George, Asia, and Lindsey were all murdered on a stormy Mississippi night in 2019, nobody in the area heard or saw anything. But in the days after the attack, rumors and conspiracy theories began running wild, creating a tangled web that detectives are still unweaving more than five years later. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck. Around 1 a.m. on December 22nd, 2019, a woman we'll call Penny walked over to her local corner store in the rain to get some pills from her nephew, George. Now, he wasn't there when she arrived and didn't show up for the multiple hours Penny waited around in the storm. So finally, she decided to just walk to his house, which was right around the corner on Old Slag Road in Moss Point, Mississippi. When she got there, she could see that the house was totally dark, but that wasn't necessarily a surprise. The power had been cut off a while back.
But what was surprising was the fact that the front door was cracked open. So Penny turned on her phone's flashlight, pushed the door open, and began calling out for George, slowly inching into the house a little to call out a second time when he didn't answer. When she got no response that second time, Penny went back to the corner store hoping that George would just turn up there eventually like they'd planned. But he didn't. In fact, Penny waited outside the store for another handful of hours without word from George. So bracing the storm, she walked back to his house to check one more time. When she stepped into the dark entryway again, she heard what sounded like a very faint moaning sound coming from somewhere inside. She followed the noise, using her phone's flashlight to light her path, through the living room, past the kitchen, toward several bedrooms at the back of the one-story house. When Penny shined her light through one of the doors, she saw blood.
More and more of it as she panned her light over the bed where she finally saw where all of it was coming from. There was a semi-conscious, fully-clothed woman lying there on the verge of death. Penny could tell that this woman was breathing, but it sounded labored. In the dark, she assumed that the woman had been beaten up. And when Penny tried to wake the woman and the woman didn't respond, Penny ran to find a nearby friend. The two returned to George's house together, and that's when Penny called 911. Just four minutes later, at 7.10 a.m., Moss Point police officers showed up at the scene. While it was now light outside, the house was still dark, so officers had to use flashlights to navigate the house and find the bleeding woman. They also found two additional victims in another bedroom. Here's Detective Kimberly Snowden, the lead detective on the case.
So they're going to do what we would naturally do, clear the rest of the house, make sure we don't have whoever did this or we don't have a witness in the house as to what has happened to her. Did anybody else see anything? And then during the search of the house is when the other two victims were located together. There was a significant amount of blood. We could look at that scene even before touching them and know that, you know, they had passed.
Police immediately recognized the two deceased victims because they both had previous run-ins with the law. One was Penny's nephew, 32-year-old George Kirkland, whose family owned the home. And the second victim was 19-year-old Asia Norman, George's on-again, off-again girlfriend. They were found on the floor of the primary bedroom directly across from the room where the still-unknown and still-alive woman was found. Now, police could tell that the unknown woman hadn't been beaten like Penny originally thought. She'd actually been shot a single time in the head. And George and Asia had been shot multiple times, though Detective Snowden didn't want to reveal where. She did tell us that from the way George and Asia were positioned, it looked almost like George may have been trying to protect Asia or like she was hiding behind him. The bed in the room was still made, so it didn't seem like the pair had been sleeping at the time of the attack, and George still had on his shoes.
