Marilyn Kay Plantz

Murder of Husband James Earl Plantz (with the help of her
teen-age boyfriend) for his $300,000 life insurance policy.

   Prosecutors said Bryson and Marilyn Plantz planned to collect 
   an insurance policy of about $300,000 for Plantz's accidental 
   death. Mrs. Plantz was the beneficiary. 

   On Aug. 26, 1988, Bryson, then 18, and a friend, Clinton McKimble, 
   surprised Plantz in his house and beat him with baseball bats 
   provided by Plantz's wife, prosecutors said. 

   McKimble, who received a life sentence for testifying against 
   Bryson, said Mrs. Plantz looked at her husband's head injuries 
   and remarked that it didn't look like an accident. 

   "She told us to burn him," McKimble testified. 

   Plantz was loaded into a pickup truck and driven to a remote area, 
   where he and the vehicle were doused with gasoline and set ablaze.
