The crime began when a chunk of concrete thrown from a bridge struck the women's car, forcing them to stop. Cooey and Dickens then kidnapped the women, took them to a field, and brutally murdered them.His case gained significant attention in the years leading up to his execution due to his argument that his obesity (over 275 pounds) would make lethal injection an inhumane form of execution, as he claimed his veins were too difficult to access. This argument was ultimately rejected by the courts, and he was executed by lethal injection.
