Stupid, horrible criminals.

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

wonders if these sickos get ideas from shows like Criminal Minds? Because that sounds like one of their shows. And yeah, its premeditated, 1st degree.

he showed up drunk at her place last year and asked her out. It creeped her out and that's why she let someone know that she was going to help them out. I wish she'd listened to her instincts and not gone to help them but I understand why she did.
