Hello, friends. It's me, Carla Varner, your host of the Buckhead Daily — here to impart everything you need to know about what's happening in town. First, today's weather: Very hot with clouds and sun. High: 97 Low: 77. Here are the top three stories today in Buckhead: A long story comes to a conclusion as Ricky Dubose, an escaped prisoner accused of killing two corrections officers, is found guilty. During the 60 hours Dubose and Donnie Russell Rowe Jr., another escaped prisoner, were out of custody, they stole five cars (including one from a rock quarry in Buckhead), burglarized several houses, held an elderly couple hostage at gunpoint, and led police on a high-speed chase.
