A Georgia man who had already served time for terrorizing women in the area has been charged with the murder of a five-year-old girl.
The life of a five-year-old girl came to a tragic end as a Georgia man, snuffed out her life permanently and without mercy.
That is how it ended for the little girl who was brutally killed by this deranged killer.
Signs of instability existed with the accused killer. He was previously convicted for terrorizing women where he lived. Now, he committed a crime that ended the child's life.
The victim and the killer
Savannah Adams, five-years-old at the time of the murder on March 29, was found dead and suffered a horrible beating from the suspected heartless killer.
Those who knew the five-year-old girl said she was gentle and loving, but her killer ignored that.
The suspect of this chilling murder is identified as Ethan Gathright, 22 years old, who was her guardian.
Gathright was a bonafide felon, before killing Savannah savagely.
Prior records from the police reveal his anti-social tendencies that led to several arrests for violent crimes against women.
These crimes involve theft and robbery, and attempted murder after stealing her car.
For these offences, the murderer of Savannah has been in prison for his criminal acts. His victims were more than one woman in Fulton and Dekalb counties.
One of his attempts to kill was a woman with the last name King, who according to reports had her terrifying encounter in July 2014 with the deranged lunatic.
King was left traumatized at what Ethan did with a co-conspirator on that day in a parking lot in 2014. She can vividly remember her first and last encounter with Garthright.
In the parking lot, Gathright and an unidentified accomplice beat her up in the Target parking lot, but the duo was not just satisfied with the beating they gave King.
