On March 9, 2004, Andrea Leanne Nance was found dead in a burning car. Marcus Sellers and Andre Conley had taken Andrea’s purse and forced her into her own trunk. The teenagers drove around town, using her ATM card at various machines. They left the car overnight in a remote location with the 24-year-old trapped inside. In the morning, Marcus and his friend came back with a can of gasoline and matches, crashed the car into a ravine, and set it on fire.
Andrea died of smoke inhalation and Marcus went to high school as usual that day. His classmates were surprised when he was arrested for the killing. “He was quiet. He was nice.”
