Atlanta, GA – A spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Corrections says Alvin Neelley died Friday. He was 52. Neelley's wife, Judith Ann Neelley had been sentenced to death in Alabama for the murder of 13-year-old Lisa Ann Millican, who was abducted from Rome in 1982. Her body was recovered a few days later near Fort Payne. But Neelley was saved from the electric chair when former Alabama Governor Fob James commuted her death sentence several days before he left office in 1999. She remains imprisoned in Alabama. Alvin Neelley had been serving a life sentence in Georgia for kidnapping and murdering 22-year-old Janice Kay Chatman.
