Also found guilty in the case were three men: Alan Wade, Bruce Nixon, and Cole's boyfriend Michael Jackson. Prosecutors said Cole and the three men developed a plan to kidnap and kill the couple to steal their money, and dug a grave for them in Charlton County, Georgia, two days before knocking on their door and asking to use the phone.[1] As of February 2015, Cole is the third youngest woman on death row in the United States.[2] CrimeTiffany Cole was a familiar face to Carol and Reggie Sumner, her family having been neighbors of the 61-year-old couple in South Carolina. When the Sumners moved to Jacksonville, Florida, in March 2005, they sold a car to Cole. Cole agreed to make monthly payments and often drove with friends to Jacksonville in order to do so. In June 2005, Cole and her new boyfriend, Michael Jackson, drove to Jacksonville to complete the paperwork on the car. While there, they stayed at the Sumner home. It is while staying with the couple that Jackson began hatching a plan to rob the couple and steal money from their bank accounts. [3] Early the next month, in July 2005, the plan was put into action. Tiffany Cole, Michael Jackson and two other men, Alan Wade and Bruce Nixon, drove to the Sumners' home. Wade and Nixon went to the door and asked to use the phone. Once inside, Wade and Nixon attacked. The Sumners were bound and gagged with duct tape, put into the trunk of their Lincoln town car and driven across the border to a remote part of Georgia. Cole and Jackson travelled separately in their car, planning to get deliberately pulled over for speeding if police got too close to the Lincoln. Once in Georgia, the Sumners were forced to reveal the personal identification numbers of their bank accounts. The couple, blindfolded and bound, were then pushed into a pre-dug grave and buried alive by Wade and Nixon. [4][4] Cole subsequently pawned jewelry and other items stolen from the Sumners' home,[5] and the ATM card was used to obtain more than $1000 in cash. Three of the group were tracked back to a hotel in South Carolina by the use of the ATM card and arrested there. After being arrested Nixon willingly led Police to the Sumners' grave, revealing the tragic detail that both had managed to get their bonds free, but could only hug each other in their final moments. ConvictionAt Cole's week-long trial in October 2007, the jury deliberated for less than 90 minutes before finding her guilty of first-degree murder.[6] They voted 9 to 3 that she should receive the death penalty.[7] Evidence included photos of Cole and two co-defendants in a limousine, celebrating with champagne and handfuls of cash. Five months later, a judge handed down two death sentences for the murders, and a sentence of life in prison for the kidnappings. She awaits execution at Lowell Correctional Institution Annex.[8] Cole is one of three women currently on Florida's death row, the others being Margaret Allen and Tina Brown, both sentenced to death in unrelated murders.[9][10] Wade and Jackson also received two death sentences and await execution. Nixon, who had led police to the bodies and testified against the others, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. In June 2017 her death sentence as well as death sentences of Wade and Jackson were thrown out by Florida Supreme Court because jurors in their trials did not agree unanimously on the death sentence as U.S. Supreme Court ruled in another case a few years before.[11] All three will likely have new sentencing hearings. DocumentariesBecause of the brutality and notoriety of the case and the fact that one of the perpetrators was a young woman later sentenced to death the case has been a subject of several TV documentaries, including an hour-long interview of Tiffany Cole and Emilia Carr with Diane Sawyer for a "20/20 Special" in 2015 .
