Murder in the Morning: The Lita McClinton Case

It was supposed to be a fresh start. Lita McClinton gorgeous, successful, and finally stepping away from a messy marriage ready to reclaim her peace. But on the morning of her divorce hearing, a knock at the door changed everything. A box of pink roses arrived… and within minutes, Lita was dead.

This episode peels back the layers of a murder that shook Atlanta’s Black elite and made headlines for years. What looked like a hit straight out of a soap opera turned out to be a real-life tale of obsession, greed, and a long game of control. We’re talking private investigators, international manhunts, and courtroom bombshells all centered around a woman who never should’ve been a target.

We won’t spoil the wild twists, but just know: when money and ego mix, somebody’s bound to get hurt.

If you love true crime with sharp storytelling and a little side-eye, this one’s for you.
