5 horrific details about Gary Simmons and Timothy Milano's crimes

1) Gary Simmons and Timothy Milano killed Jeffrey Wolfe because they could not pay the sum of $12,000 to $20,000 that they owed

Gary Simmons, who was a butcher by profession, was also dealing marijuana for Wolfe. They owed Wolfe approximately $12,000 to $20,000, which Wolfe came to collect with his 18-year-old girlfriend, Charlene Brook Leaser.

But things got heated when Simmons said he could not pay Jeffrey Wolfe because he did not have the money. The altercation ended with Timothy fatally shooting Wolfe.

2) Simmons went on to assault Charlene Brook Leaser and even offered her to Timothy

After killing Jeffrey, Gary went on to grab Charlene, before she could react. He took her to the back room, tied her, and put her in a foot locker. Though she initially managed to untie herself, Gary returned and s*xually assaulted her.

He allegedly also offered Timothy to do the same, but the latter declined.

3) Gary and Timothy went on to dismember Wolfe's body completely with Gary's butcher knives

Gary may have already planned for things to go south with Jeffrey Wolfe earlier as a co-worker claimed that Gary was sharpening his butcher knife at work. He and Timothy went on to cut Jeffrey's body into pieces and carried it out in two buckets to the nearby bayou on several trips.

He threw the body in the alligator-infested water body. Thankfully, during these trips, Charlene managed to untie herself and escape her captors.

5) Simmons was ultimately convicted and sentenced to death while Timothy Milano is still in prison

Charlene managed to escape the house and reach a neighbor's house, from where she called the police. The authorities arrested Milano the same day while Gary went to his former wife’s house and made a video confession. He turned himself in a day later.

Simmons was sentenced to death for the murder, alongside a life sentence for assault. He was executed by lethal injection on June 10, 2012, at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman.

Milano, meanwhile, was found guilty of the murder and kidnapping. He was sentenced to life behind bars, where he remains.
