Lois Ann Thacker
Lois Thacker was the beneficiary on the life insurance policy covering
her husband, John Thacker. Lois solicited three men, Buchanan, Music
and Hart to kill her husband, and formulated a plan for him to be shot
on a certain isolated road where her husband drove. she insisted that a
shotgun with deer slugs be used, and directed that his wallet be returned
to her because it had important papers in it. One night the three men
joined Lois in her trailer while her husband was gone and insisted that
he be killed that night. The men left, assuring her that it would be done.
The plan was executed by placing a log in the road which forced Mr.
Thacker to stop. When he got out of his truck, he was shot by Music.
Buchanan removed the wallet which was returned to Lois that night.
During her efforts to induce the men to kill Mr. Thacker, Lois told
them that she wanted him killed just like she and Mr. Thacker had
killed her first husband, Phillip Huff. Buchanan, Music and Hart all
testified against Lois at trial after entering into plea agreements.
