Mary Rice Back In Florida To Face Murder Charge

February 9, 2017

Mary Rice is now in the Santa Rosa County Jail after being extradited from Georgia on Wednesday.

She faces a capital murder charge in the shooting death of Kayla Crocker in Beulah on Monday, and two counts of accessory after the fact in a double homicide at a Milton hotel last week. Alicia Ann Greer and Jacqueline Jeanette Moore were found shot to death in the Emerald Sands Inn.

Rice also faces a capital murder charge from Baldwin County for the murder of Peggy Broz.

Rice was arrested after surrendering peacefully at Georgia hotel Tuesday afternoon. She was an accused accomplice of quadruple murder suspect William “Billy” Boyette, who took his own life in Georgia rather than surrendering to authorities.

Her bond has been set at $750,000 in Santa Rosa County, but she would not be released if she were able to be post the bond. She would be transferred to Escambia County on her charge of first degree murder, which would have no bond.

    I don’t know the deal between these two, however, it IS possible that he may have wanted her to be there to “tell his story” and that maybe why she is still alive. Why wouldn’t he kill her when he killed himself? It hasn’t been told to me that they were lovers or anything, but he obviously trusted her to to take her with him on his “killing spree” but he let her go? Doesn’t make sense to me. Only the Lord above knows what really happened and I pray for everyone who lived and didn’t live through this horrible situation.

    Do any of you really think anybody is going to pay $75,000 for her bond? Nah, I don’t THINK so!

    She’s not going anywhere. The charge in Santa Rosa County is Accessory to Murder After the Fact, and is not a capital offense, so the judge had a constitutional requirement to set a bond. Even I’d somebody paid her bond in Santa Rosa County, she would not be released to go free. Escambia County has a Murder 1st Degree warrant for her and she would just get transferred there. Baldwin County had her charged with Capital Murder, a charge for which there will be no bond. Mary ain’t going anywhere except to another jail, prison and the cemetary.

    I hope whoever turned them in gets the reward money. Rumor has it that the person who got the Billings murder didn”t get the reward because they called 911 and not crimestoppers. I hope this is not true.

    Watch, she is going to get the same or near the same as the ” Bonnie and Clyde” couple from a year or two ago. She is going to play big time victim…. oooooor the judge is going to say there isn’t enough evidence to prosecute her and she’ll get 3 years probation an possibly some kind of fine
