A Piedmont man today pleaded not guilty this morning to charges that he murdered a 28-year-old Piedmont woman who went
missing in 2009. 52 year old Jimmy Ray Steed, had been indicted by a Calhoun
County grand jury in August in connection with the death of Carla Cook
Fuqua, who was last seen alive at her Piedmont home on Oct. 29, 2009.
Investigators from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office and Cold Case
Unit discovered Fuqua’s skeletal remains last December in woods a short
drive from Steed’s and Fuqua’s homes on Alabama 21.
The grand jury indictment alleges that Steed killed Fuqua on or about
the day she went missing by striking her with a bat or bat-like object.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson has said Steed also is a suspect in the cases of three other people missing from Piedmont.
