The son of Georgia mom Debbie Collier, whose mysterious death has shaken the Athens community, wants people to know she was a “vibrant and strong soul” and that he won’t rest until those who cruelly took her life face justice.
But Jeffrey Bearden also is demanding “respect and privacy during the darkest and most harrowing time for my family” and wants the media to stop publishing “speculation.”
In an exclusive statement to The Daily Beast, Bearden said, “I have been incredibly hurt and disturbed by some of the reporting and information shared regarding the investigation into my mother’s death. I ask that all attention on the tragic story of my mother’s death remain focused on aiding the police investigation.”
