True crime author to speak at PTC library
Jaclyn Weldon White will make a return appearance at the Peachtree City Library on Thursday, July 25 at 7 p.m. to talk about her latest book, "The Empty Nursery," a true crime book about the 1992 kidnapping and murder of seven-month old Haley Hardwick in Lawrenceville,Ga. White, a former Juvenile Court Administrator, has provided in-depth insight into the case from two very different perspectives. On one hand the reader is privy to the police investigation and on the other hand can experience the anguish the Mother is going through. The author was nominated for Georgia Author of the year in 2000 for her first book, "Whisper to the Black Candle: Voodoo, Murder and the Case of Anjette Lyles." This book also was a novel about a series of murders which took place in Macon, Ga. in the 1950s. The book followed the events from the beginning when Anjette, who many characterized as "the nicest woman I ever knew", murdered her first victim with doses of arsenic to the final appeal of her trial. White has worked in law enforcement since 1978 and was Juvenile Court Administrator in Gwinnet County. She is retired now and lives in Macon.
