Michael Ray Lambrix, a/k/a Cary Michael, is scheduled to be executed at 6 pm EDT, on Thursday, October 5, 2017, at the Florida State Prison near Raiford, Florida. Fifty-seven-year-old Michael is convicted of the murder 35-year-old Clarence Edward Moore (a/k/a Lawrence Lamberson) and 19-year-old Aleisha Dawn Bryant on February 6, 1983, in Glades County, Florida. Michael has spent the last 33 years on Florida’s death row.
Michael had previously served time for check fraud. At the time of the murders, a warrant was out for Michael’s arrest, as he had walked away from a state halfway house.
On the evening of February 5, 1983, Michael Lambrix and his roommate, Frances Smith, went out to a local tavern, where they met Clarence Moore and Aleisha Bryant. Lambrix and Smith invited Clarence and Aleisha back to their trailer to eat.
At some point, Lambrix invited Clarence to go outside with him. Approximately 20 minutes later, he asked Aleisha to also come outside. Approximately 45 minutes after that, Lambrix returned to the trailer, alone. He was wearing a bloody shirt and holding a tire iron. Lambrix told Smith that he had killed Clarence by hitting him with the tire iron and Aleisha by strangulation.
Smith helped Lambrix clean up and bury the bodies. Lambrix also threw his bloody shirt and the tire iron into a nearby stream.
On February 8, 1983, Smith was arrested on an unrelated charge. While in custody, she informed police about the buried bodies. Police investigated and found the bodies, along with the bloody shirt and tire iron.
