Meghan Starling Davis Bowen, 33, and a man named James Harden were found shot to death inside Bowen’s home on Meadowbrook Lane in Douglas, Georgia, on November 19, 2015. The victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were discovered after Meghan’s father arrived and found the front door ajar.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect. Wallace David Lee, then 42, was arrested on November 20, 2015, and charged with two counts of malice murder and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The prosecution presented evidence of a history of jealousy and escalating abuse by Lee toward Bowen, including a prior incident in which he reportedly held a gun to her mouth and threatened to kill her. Ballistics testing linked bullets from the victims to a bullet from an earlier shooting in which Lee had wounded another man’s ankle.

Lee was tried before a jury October 16–19, 2017, found guilty of two counts of malice murder, and sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the convictions and sentence in February 2024. Did anyone in Douglas have information about Meghan’s life or her relationship with Lee that hasn’t been shared publicly?
