Montgomery Advertiser: High profile Prattville murder investigation continues despite guilty plea, sentencing – by Marty Roney
PRATTVILLE — Willie Foster has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the bludgeoning death of a well-known Prattville woman, Carol Parker Nunnery.
But is the investigation into her 2016 murder over?
Circuit Judge Sibley Reynolds sentenced Foster, 36, of Prattville. Foster entered a guilty plea to felony murder in July in what has become a complicated and confusing case.
Foster was charged in May of 2016 with capital murder, murder, robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card in the death of Nunnery, 72, a well-known downtown resident. Foster has been in jail under no bond since his arrest on May 26, 2016. No bond is standard in a capital case.
Terry Luck, one of Foster’s attorneys, has always held there were other people involved in the crime. He mentioned one man’s name in open court during the sentencing. The Montgomery Advertiser will not use the man’s name because he hasn’t been charged in connection with Nunnery’s murder.
In just one of the unusual twists in this saga, the defense attorneys and Nunnery’s family have developed a relationship.
