It was like a macabre Halloween prank when Brandy Snellgrove came home to her secluded house at around 2:45 a.m. Oct. 30, 2007, and found that her dog Foxy had brought a human foot on her porch. But within the hour she would find out that what she thought may be a joke was anything but funny. After several weeks of investigation, DeKalb County resident Franklin Benson was arrested and charged with the murder and dismemberment of his alleged girlfriend, Leslyan Williams.
