'20/20' REPORTS ON A FLOWER DELIVERY TURNING DEADLY WHEN A YOUNG WOMAN IS FATALLY SHOT AT HER FRONT DOOR
Co-Anchor Deborah Roberts Reports on the Murder of Atlanta Socialite Lita McClinton Sullivan on '20/20,' Friday, Oct. 25, Next Day Streaming on Hulu
It was a cold January day in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta when a young, beautiful socialite, Lita McClinton Sullivan, answered the front door of her home. Surprised to see a delivery man holding a dozen pink roses, Lita began to accept the delivery - but in an instant - the delivery man pulled out a gun and fired shots, leaving Lita with a fatal wound to the head. In a new "20/20," co-anchor Deborah Roberts reports on the shooting that left everyone wondering: "Who killed Lita?" "20/20" airs FRIDAY, OCT. 25 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), next day streaming on Hulu.
Lita was working in an upscale Atlanta boutique when she met her future husband, Jim Sullivan. A somewhat mismatched pair, the two began a whirlwind romance, and within a year, they married. Soon after, Lita and Jim started having problems, including money issues and alleged affairs. On the morning that Lita was murdered, she had an important court hearing that may have changed the course of her life. Instead, Lita McClinton Sullivan answered a knock at the door, and in an instant, she was gunned down in cold blood.
Police launched a search for Lita's killer, and her parents offered a reward for information, but the case remained cold. That is until a tipster came forward nearly two decades later with information that Lita's husband, Jim, was behind the murder.
"20/20" features interviews with the lead prosecutor on the case, Clint Rucker; Marvin Marable, Lita and Jim Sullivan's friend who was a person of interest following the murder; Judge M. Yvette Miller, a friend of Lita; and investigators John Kingston, a retired FBI special agent, and John Lang from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, who helped bring Lita's killers to justice.
