Police hope tips from you will heat up this cold case again. Steve Rose and Frederick Kea worked at the McDonald's that stood at Riverside Drive and Northside Drive in Bibb County. (A different restaurant sits there today.)

The two men died during an apparent attempt to steal a deposit - but workers had already made the deposit earlier that night. Even though the robber didn't get the money, someone went out of their way to make sure there were no witnesses.

Carrol Rose, Steve's wife, says she'll never forget January 14, 1989 - the day the murders happened.

"It was difficult," she said. "It completely changed our lives... My son grew up fearful, because he grew up without a male figure or anyone to do anything with. My daughter - the first thing she said when she found out her daddy was dead was, 'Who's going to give me away when I get married?'"

Macon Police Lieutenant Jimmy Barbee says it was a robbery attempt that made no sense.

"If you're going to rob somebody, that's one thing," he said, "but to lay in ambush and basically assassinate somebody and get nothing? That's sick!"

The Macon Police Department and Sheriff's Office still don't know who's responsible for the murders. Now, they're turning to the public.

"Somebody out there knows something, and it's real important we get the community involved," he said. "Not only in this one, but in any homicide we have."

Carrol says, 14 years later, she continues to want justice.

"I want the person found and put away at least, because I feel like they have done this again, and they're going to keep on doing this, and they need to be stopped. They have no conscience."

Lieutenant Barbee says personal items and valuables were taken from both victims and at least one misfired 22 caliber round was found in the bushes on the property line.
