HABERSHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA: The day before 59-year-old Georgia mom Debbie Collier's body was discovered in a ravine, she had sent a chilling message to her daughter Amanda Bearden. "They are not going to let me go love you there is a key to the house in the blue flowerpot by the door," she wrote to her daughter, as she sent her a $2,385 Venmo payment.

Now, two law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital that the amont Collier sent Bearden is "very close" to what the daugter's live-in boyfriend, Andrew Giegerich, owed in probation fines. The connection was revealed by viewers of the 'Grizzly True Crime' podcast. They added up a series of imposed fines and calculated payments Giegerich had already made. The math could vary slightly by additional fees added. As of Wednesday morning, October 5, the sum had not been paid to probation.

Meanwhile, Giegerich, a former Georgia MMA fighter, has said he and Bearden have no involvement in Collier's slaying. He added that they are now living in fear. "We sleep with stuff in front of our front door and our back door because we didn't have anything to do with this," Fox News quoted Giegerich as saying. "We had nothing to do with this, so we're just trying to protect ourselves at this point. We're a little scared ourselves," he added.



 

Giegerich was arrested for a domestic incident a year prior to Collier's death. Collier's naked and charred remains were found in Georgia on September 11. He was arrested on September 4, 2021, for violating a no-contact order and banging on Bearden's home.

The arrest came about a year after he allegedly wrote a handwritten message saying, according to New York Post, "If you or your family ever come near me again I will hurt them. Have a nice life you lying a** b**ch. Don't ever contact me again!!!". Notably, Bearden also has a criminal history, including several domestic violence cases. Neither Bearden nor Giegerich have been listed as suspects in Collier's death. 

Private investigator Jason Jensen said he believes Collier had not been kidnapped as she was able to transfer money via Venmo. Jensen further said investigators would be looking for signs of a struggle if the message really was a warning that the mom had been kidnapped. He explained someone may have tried to hide DNA evidence considering Collier was found naked and burned.

Meanwhile, in a new development in Collier's murder, which police believe was “personal and targeted”, a photo of the Georgia mom’s rented minivan has been released. The vehicle was reportedly traveling toward a store where she was later caught on video. The Chrysler Pacifica was seen on traffic cameras by the Tallulah Falls School in Georgia at 2.17 pm on September 10, a day before Collier's body was found in a nearby ravine, CrimeOnline reported. 

On the same day, surveillance footage from a Family Dollar store in Clayton showed the 59-year-old calmly shopping for a blue tarp, a lighter, a tote bag and a rain poncho. Habersham County Sheriff’s Investigator George Cason said Tallulah Falls police investigators are trying to determine she was captured by traffic cameras traveling back south. She reportedly entered the Family Dollar outlet at 2.54 pm, left at 3.09 pm and sat in the vehicle until 3.19 pm, following which she pulled out of the parking lot and headed south. Collier's husband, Steven Collier, told the dispatcher that Collier's purse was found at her home by his stepdaughter Amanda Bearden. However, investigators reportedly recovered Collier's purse and cellphone at the crime scene.
