In October 2008, Bobby Fisk and Timothy Stephan broke into the home of Robert and Norma Bean while they slept. The two men stole Norma’s purse, a gun, and pills before returning and forcing the couple, still in their pajamas, into their van. Fisk and Stephan drove the couple to ATM machines to withdraw money, but their accounts were frozen. They then drove to a gravel pit, where they shot the couple.

As the investigation unfolded, it was revealed that the perpetrators, Bobby Fisk and Timothy Stephan, had a history with the couple and had been helped by them in the past. This made their actions all the more shocking and senseless.

Stephan pleaded guilty to two counts of felony murder and was sentenced to life without parole. Fisk went to trial and was convicted of all charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping. He received two consecutive life sentences.
