Biography

Debra Brown was born as one of eleven children with a mental disability and suffered an unspecified head injury as a child. She met Alton Coleman when she moved into his neighborhood and even left her current boyfriend to become engaged to him.

On the night of May 29th, 1984, Coleman went to Brown's house to admit to killing nine year old Vernita Wheat but she helped him. After hiding where he was from the FBI, on the day that he was supposed to go to trial for the rape of the 14 year old, he and Brown fled the state and began their crime spree.

For her crimes, Brown received a 20 year federal prison sentence for interstate trafficking and a death sentence whereas Coleman received four death sentences. Debra Brown spent seven years on Ohio's female death row at the Ohio Reformatory for Women but her death sentence was commuted to a life sentence plus 140 years in 1991 by Ohio Governor Richard Celeste due to his strong opposition to the death penalty and believing that Coleman manipulated her. Coleman was executed in 2002 whereas Brown remains in prison at the Dayton Correctional Institution in Dayton, Ohio.
