DALTON, Ga. — A Rocky Face woman who was arrested in May of last year after leading authorities to the shallow grave of her girlfriend who had been missing for more than a year pleaded guilty on Friday in Superior Court to concealing the death of another.

District Attorney Bert Poston said Amy Gale Duckett was sentenced to seven years in prison followed by three years of probation and will be referred to Mental Health Court upon release from prison.

Duckett was indicted by a grand jury for concealing the death of another and four counts of making a false statement. According to those indictments, Duckett met several times with Detective Chris Guay of the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office after Christine Medlin was reported missing by her mother in March of 2017. The indictments said Duckett “did knowingly and willfully conceal the material fact that Christine Medlin was deceased by lying to and misleading” Guay.

Duckett led investigators to the grave at 170 Novella Drive after being described by officials as a “person of interest” throughout the investigation. Medlin had been reported missing by her mother, who lives in Tennessee, on March 16, 2017.

Duckett’s son Kurt Emmett Duckett was also indicted for concealing the death of another. Poston said he pleaded guilty in December and was sentenced to three years of probation.
