ATLANTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) — Georgia is preparing for its first execution this year of a Cobb County man convicted of murdering two real estate agents more than two decades ago.

The Department of Corrections has set December 17 as the execution date for 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys, convicted of killing two real estate agents in a Cobb County model home in 2003.
