On September 29, 2005, Orlie Wade McCool, 70, and his daughter-in-law Laura Dawn McCool, 47, were found shot to death in their Anderson, Missouri, home. Investigators later determined Levi King forced his way into the residence after stealing firearms from his father’s nearby house; Orlie was shot once and Dawn was shot multiple times.

King fled in Orlie McCool’s truck and the violence continued across state lines. The next day in Pampa, Texas, three more people were killed and a young girl in that house was shot but survived by playing dead and later summoning help. King was taken into custody in El Paso, Texas, while still in possession of Orlie McCool’s truck. King pleaded guilty to the murders of Orlie and Dawn McCool and received two life-without-parole sentences.
