the little town of Egan, Kenneth turned from FM 917 onto an isolated gravel road. The path cut through a hay field of tall grass. Clearly distracted by the trouble into which he had gotten himself, Roy first stated that he and Kenneth drove only about one mile from where the boys were murdered; it was actually eleven. After stopping, Kenneth walked over to the trunk and ordered Louise out. She got out of the trunk and Kenneth directed her to the back seat of his car. She sat on the driver's side. Kenneth went back there with her as Roy sat outside on the trunk and, at times, watched. He saw Louise take off her clothes; then saw Kenneth rape her. 16
After he raped her, Kenneth ordered Roy Dale to get into the car. As Roy Dale sat behind the wheel, Kenneth asked him if he wanted to have a turn with her. Roy said he did not, and when Kenneth leaned forward and asked why, Roy thought about Lonnie's gun and decided that he had better. He then climbed into the back seat, and at least according to Roy Dale, had trouble getting aroused enough to rape Louiseeventually he did. He also claims to have kept his eye on Kenneth the entire time. After that, Kenneth returned to the back seat and raped her again, and this time he violated her with the jagged end of the broomstick lying on the floorboard. Roy Dale remembers the agonizing screams, but during the entire assault, he remembers Louise saying only one thing: "Stop! I think you ripped something." 17
Finally, Kenneth told Louise to put her clothes back on. Her horror, though, had not yet ended.
Kenneth drove Louise and Roy Dale a short distance to yet another lonely road covered with white crushed stone. He stopped the car and ordered Louise to get out and sit on the road near the front of the car. She had no choice but to do what he wanted. When she asked what was going to happen to her, Kenneth replied that he was going to tie her up. She said: "Why? I'm not going anywhere." Kenneth then turned to Roy

Dale and asked if he had a belt. Hoping that Kenneth was going to tie her up and leave her alone, Roy happily gave his belt to Kenneth, who promptly threw it back into the car. He then grabbed the broomstick and walked towards Louise, telling Roy Dale to get the belt. As Roy Dale turned to go back to the car he heard an odd sound. Kenneth had gone over to Louise, sat on her chest, and placed the broomstick across her throat. As he pressed her against the white crushed stone, "it sounded like air escaping out of a balloon or air hose," Roy Dale remembered.
"No, no, leave her alone," Roy Dale said in a rare moment of assertion.
"It's got to be done," Kenneth replied. 18
Kenneth pressed hard enough to break bones in Louise's neck. As she gasped for air and struggled for lift, her arms and legs flapped in a danse macabre . Kenneth ordered Roy Dale to hold her legs. When he let go, Kenneth told him to grab her legs againand he did. Roy Dale did as he was told. The second time he grabbed her legs, however, he did not have to struggle to keep her still. By that time Louise could no longer feel the pain inflicted by her captors. Kenneth was reported to have said, "It was like you kill a possum."
Kenneth ordered Roy Dale to turn the car around. Roy did as he was told, and Kenneth continued to press the broomstick across Louise's neck long after she could possibly have held on to her life. Kenneth grabbed her arms and Roy Dale grabbed her legs; they heaved her over a barbed wire fence into a field with long grass. Kenneth crossed the fence and choked her again. Asked by Kenneth to check her heart to make sure she was dead, Roy Dale moved her bra over to feel her chest for a beat. Kenneth then decided that he had better check her body himself after having to tell Roy Dale that her heart was on the left side. That was when he noticed a German Cross necklace around Louise's neck. He ripped it off and put it in his pocket. Kenneth then looked at the gun and noticed that he had fired all
