Four days later, Tracy did another two transfers, bringing the total amount of stolen funds to $1.4 million. The first three transfers were to Courtney’s bank accounts and Courtney decided to run away with all of the approximately $800,000. A total amount of $1.4 million was stolen in five different transactions by Tracy. The police found Gail dead in her home the next day when concerned neighbors called 911. They both fled the scene later in the day.

All the while, Dozier had been keeping watch in the next room, and according to his own statement, he had also tried to stop Kelly from murdering Gail. But at some point, Kelly raped and sodomized Gail and then killed her by suffocating her with a plastic trash bag. The plan had been to let Gail go after the money had been successfully transferred. According to his statement, Dozier had no idea that Kelly had brought a gun with him. Kelly was brandishing a pistol, once they were inside Gail’s home, and threatened Gail at gunpoint. In turn, Tracy let in Kelly and Dozier who were there to hold Gail hostage in her home while Tracy went to the office to wire transfer the money. 58-year-old Gail trusted the co-worker she saw every day in the office and let her in. On the morning of October 5, 2012, Tracy knocked on Gail’s door and made up an excuse to use her bathroom. That’s where Kelly and Dozier entered the scene. Tracy needed to make the transfer through Gail’s access and she needed Gail to not be at work. This was not the same case with Gail Spencer, who had been with the firm for over 10 years and was the person in charge of handling wire transfers. Tracy was a junior employee at the firm and thus, did not have the access to wire transfer funds without authorization from the upper management. Their plan was to wire transfer the funds from the firm’s escrow account to their own and then split the spoils four-ways. It was Kelly who brought 23-year-old Dozier on board as well. When Tracy hatched the plan to steal big bucks from the real-estate law firm she was employed at, she enlisted Kelly’s assistance, along with that of his 23-year-old step-sister Courtney’s. In 2012, 18-year-old Brett Kelly of Macon, Georgia, was dating 38-year-old Tracy Jones. Let’s take a closer look at Kelly and Dozier’s involvement in the crime. Somehow, Gail ended up dead in her own home. Tracy devised a plan to embezzle funds from the firm and asked her then-boyfriend Michael Brett Kelly and Keith Anthony Dozier to hold Gail hostage while Tracy committed the theft at work. One such workplace acquaintance gone fatally wrong is that of Gail Spencer and Tracy Jones, both legal secretaries at the same law firm. According to the show, it does seem to happen to many people.

Just imagine, the very people we see and work with every day, our co-workers could have a deadly agenda against us. ‘The Killer Beside Me’, now in its third season, focuses on real-life violent crimes that stem from workplace associations through re-enactment and interviews of investigating officers and other people involved.
