OCTOBER 13th, 2026Three DAYS BEFORE THE SECOND year Marked by BARBARA KAY CRAWFORD’S DEATH.TWO PENDING GEORGIA COURT CASESNEARLY TWO YEARS.AND A FAMILY STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE.The evidence is no longer confined to a family’s independent investigation.COBB COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
Case Number: 26CV03139
Presiding Judge: Hon. Ann B. Harris
Case: McNair, et al. v. Frank L. Wilson IIIFrank L. Wilson III faces civil litigation alleging wrongful death, fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, and other serious misconduct.Despite multiple discovery orders and three failed depositions, Barbara’s children’s attorney was forced to file a September 30 Motion to Compel Discovery, supported by 30 exhibits.Nine days later, the family is still awaiting meaningful resolution of these discovery disputes.UNION COUNTY PROBATE COURT
Case No. 2026-146
Estate of Barbara Kay Crawford
Presiding Judge: Kristin S. StanleyWilson filed Barbara’s will 686 DAYS AFTER HER DEATH, while defending himself in Cobb County Superior Court.Barbara’s children formally contested the will, alleging fraud, undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, and coercion.Their objections are now before Probate Judge Kristin Stanley.BUT THIS CASE IS ABOUT FAR MORE THAN AN ESTATE.Consider the evidence surrounding Barbara’s death:* A recorded death threat against her son by the attorney who controlled significant aspects of her financial affairs.
* A GBI examination expressly designated LIMITED AUTOPSY.
* A recorded statement from Barbara’s caregiver, Joan Fortenberry, describing finding Barbara on the floor with a bag of pills and a bottle of tequila.
* Toxicology identifying multiple prescription medications.
* A death certificate declaring her manner of death NATURAL.
* A cremation authorized by her attorney within days of her death, permanently eliminating the possibility of further examination of her body.
* A family unable to obtain basic answers concerning her death and the handling of her remains.WHO WILL ACCOUNT FOR THESE DECISIONS, THE EVIDENCE THAT CAN NO LONGER BE EXAMINED, AND THE OFFICIAL HANDLING OF BARBARA’S DEATH?This family has spent nearly two years uncovering evidence, contacting authorities, pursuing records, and seeking accountability.THIS IS NO LONGER A QUESTION OF WHETHER THE FAMILY HAS PRESENTED EVIDENCE.IT IS A QUESTION OF WHETHER THE INSTITUTIONS ENTRUSTED WITH JUSTICE WILL EXERCISE THEIR AUTHORITY AND ANSWER FOR THEIR ACTIONS.Enforce the Cobb County discovery orders.Address the children’s contested probate proceedings in Union County.Demand a full accounting of the limited autopsy, the authorization of Barbara’s cremation, the resulting loss of irreplaceable opportunities for forensic examination, and the decisions made by those responsible for handling her death.TWO COURTS. TWO YEARS. ONE FAMILY STILL DEMANDING ANSWERS.SILENCE IS NOT ACCOUNTABILITY.JUSTICE FOR BARBARA KAY CRAWFORD.www.operationblacksun.com#JusticeForBarbaraKayCrawford
The backstory of the current Cobb County Superior Court case against Frank Wilson III.Barbara Kay Crawford came from a family with substantial Crawford & Company wealth, but by the final years of her life she was living in a very different reality.She had suffered a traumatic brain injury. She was an amputee. She could not drive. She lived in rural Suches, physically isolated and dependent on other people for transportation, medical care, household needs, money, medication access, and contact with family. She had chronic pain, serious medical problems, addiction vulnerability, and documented emotional distress.At the center of her financial and legal world was Frank L. Wilson III.Wilson’s role was not limited to giving legal advice. He controlled or occupied fiduciary positions involving Barbara’s trusts, money, property, corporations, household disbursements, and estate planning. Multiple companies and investment structures sat around Barbara’s assets, while she herself was being made to feel financially insecure and dependent.Then came the February 5, 2021 voice record recording of a phone call between Wilson and Barbara which was discovered in the beginning of 2025 on her son‘s phone…Wilson threatened to kill or have Barbara’s son killed because he was at her house.He also told Barbara:
“You are my child”
“I am only focused on you.”
“That is the limit. That is the goal”
“If anyone else comes in, I’ve told you 1000 times it’s not personal. I’m just simply gonna cut the money off.”That is the point where the nature of the control becomes impossible to reduce to ordinary fiduciary management. Money was being used as leverage over who could be around Barbara. Barbara pleaded and called Wilson “Daddy.”
Wilson called her “my child.”The pressure did not stop there.Taxes on the Johnny Gap property went into arrears while Wilson controlled substantial Barbara-related financial structures. Cases of Jager Meister were delivered to her home approximately once every two weeks as well as illicit substances.An alarm reportedly sounded at the house for five days while Barbara was distressed and dependent on others to deal with it. Her relationship with her children was repeatedly disrupted. She remained isolated, physically dependent, and financially controlled.Then, months after the 2021 threat, Barbara’s estate plan changed.Her July 11, 2021 will placed Frank L. Wilson III and Hollis M. Lamon into fiduciary roles, with Frank L. Wilson IV and Hunter Lamon positioned in the successor structure. Barbara’s children were treated adversely and stripped of meaningful control.At the same time, Wilson had placed the caregiving structure around Barbara. The Fortenberry and Long family network appears repeatedly through her decline, her daily care, the circumstances of her death, the coroner structure, transportation of her remains, funeral-home handling, cremation, and possession of her ashes.Barbara died on October 16, 2024.The GBI performed a LIMITED AUTOPSY.Toxicology found:* diphenhydramine — 1.5 mg/L
* propranolol — 5 mg/L
* trazodone — 0.89 mg/L
* fluoxetine — below 0.125 mg/LBarbara also had a 760-gram enlarged heart with ventricular hypertrophy.Those substances were present in a woman who was neurologically injured, physically disabled, medically fragile, addiction-vulnerable, emotionally distressed, and severely cardiac-compromised. Yet the drugs were declared non-contributory and the death was certified hypertensive heart disease / natural.Then the same control structure continued after death.Frank Wilson appeared as the death-certificate informant identified as Attorney-Trustee.He authorized the cremation.Barbara’s children did not receive her remains.Financial movement associated with Barbara continued for nearly two years after her death.Her will was not submitted to probate for roughly 686 days.And when it finally appeared, it was filed while the Cobb County Superior Court litigation against Wilson was already underway.That case, McNair, et al. v. Frank L. Wilson III, Civil Action No. 26CV03139, involves claims and allegations concerning fiduciary misconduct, trust management, fraud, unjust enrichment, conversion-related conduct, self-enrichment, and wrongful death.The litigation has included court-ordered production, a contempt motion, a special master, disputes over payment of that special master, repeated discovery resistance, and three separate deposition settings that did not result in Wilson being deposed.And over all of this sits the institutional layer.Frank Wilson did not merely have personal connections. He founded Wilson Brock And Irby, a firm whose attorneys operated across banking, corporate transactions, real-estate finance, land use, zoning, development, local government, state boards, and litigation.John H. Irby sat on the Synovus board.Synovus appears in Barbara-related financial activity.Other members of the firm worked inside or alongside systems governing land, development, local government, corporate structures, public administration, and major financial transactions.That is why this cannot be reduced to a family dispute or a probate dispute.The core story is continuity of control:Barbara’s vulnerability
→ financial dependence
→ coercion and threats
→ isolation from family
→ estate restructuring
→ multiple asset vehicles
→ controlled caregiving
→ death
→ limited autopsy
→ significant toxicology
→ Wilson-authorized cremation
→ continued post-death financial activity
→ 686-day probate delay
→ active Superior Court litigation
→ discovery resistance
→ three failed depositions
→ unresolved accounting
→ institutional reach through Wilson Brock And Irby.The central question is not simply what happened to Barbara on October 16, 2024.It is:How did one control structure remain effective across her money, property, family access, caregiving, estate plan, death, cremation, post-death finances, probate, and litigation for years?

Update August 22, 2026
wilson’s contempt hearing UPDATE — AUGUST 18, 2026Chief Judge Ann B. Harris again ordered Frank L. Wilson III to produce Barbara Crawford’s estate and trust records by August 28, 2026.The documents must be sent to attorney Russell Hodges and directly to Cynthia L. Patton, Judge Harris’s Senior Staff Attorney.Patton was formerly a partner at Thompson, Meier & King in Canton, Cherokee County, where named partner John A. Meier II had previously worked in Synovus Trust.That creates another documented overlap with the existingWilson → Irby → Synovus → Cherokee County network.The Court reserved ruling on sanctions and attorney’s fees.
:::OPERATION BLACK SUN — FOLLOW THE TIMELINEThere are moments in an investigation when individual records stop looking isolated.That is where we are now.

UPDATEcobb superior court date McNair v. Wilson
Case No. 26CV03139AUGUST 18th 2026We’ve spent months reconstructing the timeline around Barbara Kay Crawford’s trusts, financial accounts, advisers, attorneys, and the events surrounding her death.What has emerged is not a collection of isolated irregularities. It is a conspiracy timeline.The documented record now shows decades of overlap between Frank L. Wilson III and Hollis Lamon/Lamon & Stern, including Wilson becoming a co-manager of the Strategic Income Fund after its collapse in 1998. Barbara’s BKC Irrevocable Investment Trust later conducted a documented transaction using the Wilson Brock & Irby address. In 2018–2019, Linda and Suzanne’s trusts underwent major restructuring and a $16.36 million Crawford & Company liquidity event through Stifel, while Lamon-related advisory and private-placement activity was expanding.Then came February 5, 2021: the recorded threat against Robby’s life and recorded pressure involving Barbara’s bills. Barbara’s known will followed approximately five months later.The most troubling compression occurs in 2024. Frank held POA over Barbara while the Lamon/Stern financial structure was transitioning. Garvin left Lamon & Stern while remaining with Strategic Advisors. Selected relationships transitioned through the Lamon & Wallace/Silver Oak structure. Lamon & Stern formally terminated on October 14, 2024. Barbara died two days later, October 16.After Barbara died, the financial machinery did not simply stop. Bills continued to be paid. Pershing was not notified of her death for an extended period. Nearly a year later, Barbara’s Pershing account was still titled BARBARA K CRAWFORD, still associated with LAMON STERN, still holding assets, and being assessed an “ORPHAN & ABANDON ACCOUNT FEE.”Then the same pattern moved into the records fight.Jeremy Moeser sought Barbara’s trust and estate records. That effort ended without the core records being produced. The case then moved to Cobb County Superior Court.McNair v. Wilson
Cobb County Superior Court
Case No. 26CV03139On June 15, 2026, the Court ordered production of the will, trusts, amendments, and related witness/signature information. The production deadline passed. A contempt motion followed.At the same time, attorney Russell “Rusty” Hodges sought records from Union County Coroner Jeff Fortenberry concerning Barbara’s death. There has been no documented response.And while Linda reportedly sought contact with Robby and Ashlyn’s new attorney, she still made no direct contact with her own grandchildren, Robby or Ashlyn.The next hearing is August 18, 2026.This is why the timeline matters. It shows the same people, financial structures, trust movements, adviser transitions, withheld records, post-death account continuity, and institutional nonresponses converging again and again.We are no longer investigating whether there was coordination.We are documenting how the conspiracy operated, who participated, what they controlled, what moved, and what was withheld.Journalists, whistleblowers, former employees, financial professionals, attorneys, trust administrators, and anyone with firsthand records or knowledge relevant to Barbara Crawford, Frank Wilson, Wilson Brock & Irby, Lamon & Stern, Strategic Advisors, Stifel, Pershing, or the Crawford-family trusts are encouraged to come forward.
