----------------

September 23, 1994

Victim(s): Deborah Michelle Farris 18,Christopher True Payton 19

Attacker(s): Travers Arthur Greene,Leonard Arthur Winfrey

Description: Greene and Winfrey drove to Sunrise Mountain with a passenger, Heather Barker, in a stolen blue Camaro with a stolen M-14 rifle, and a handgun. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, they spotted Deborah and Christopher sleeping next to a powder blue Volkswagen and drove up alongside them, shinning the headlights on Deborah and Christopher. Greene got out of the Camaro and shot Christopher in the head, before attempting to shoot Deborah, when the rifle jammed. While Greene attempted to unjam the rifle, Deborah pleaded for her life, saying: "please don't do this, you could take anything, you could take my car, just please don't do this." Winfrey exited the Camaro and attempted to shoot Deborah with the handgun, but it too jammed. Deborah continued to plead before Greene fixed the rifle and shot her in the neck saying: “shut up, bitch.” They then drove away, with Greene laughing about how Christopher looked when his eyeballs popped out of his skull, as well as talking derisively about how the blood bubbled out of Deborah’s neck after he shot her.
