MURDERED: Tamekia Taylor & Jennifer Clemmings

Tamekia Taylor and Jennifer Clemmings couldn’t have been more different. One was an outgoing social butterfly, and the other was a private, laser-focused business woman. But both women were killed in their Metro Atlanta-area homes in the early 2000s in scarily similar crime scenes. It’s been more than 20 years since Tamekia and Jennifer died, and their murders have never been solved. Today, the question isn’t just who killed the women, it’s whether one monster was hunting them both.
