St. JOHNSBURY, Vt. A snowplow driver and his wife went to great lengths to dispose of the body of a popular teacher they had just beaten and strangled, putting her nude body on a tarp, pouring bleach on it, weighing the corpse down with concrete blocks and tossing it into the Connecticut River, court documents allege.
Allen Prue, 30, and his wife, 33-year-old Patricia Prue, were riding around when he got the idea to get a girl, a police affidavit said. They are accused of luring single mother Melissa Jenkins from her home by pretending their vehicle had broken down. Her vehicle was found idling Sunday with her unharmed 2-year-old son inside.

Her former boyfriend told police she called him saying that she had gotten a weird call from a couple who used to plow her driveway and that she was going to help them. She wanted someone to know what she was doing, the documents say.

They bought a throw away phone and called her from it and disposed of it. They lured her by asking her for help. They strangled her in front of her 2 year old. (Police know this from interviewing the child) and they're being charged with second degree murder. I don't get why SA isn't charging them with 1st degree

What they did is an average movie on Chiller. Never seen Criminal Minds.
