In the 1993 Missouri court case Ropers v. Simmons, Christopher Simmons (17 y/o), accompanied by his two friends Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer, devised a plan to kill Shirley Cook. The full plan was to commit burglary and homicide by breaking and entering the residence, tying up the woman, and tossing the victim off a bridge (We the People). The night of the murder the three met at midnight, Tessmer later decided to drop out of the plan.
