The two men are accused of ripping off the 43-year-old woman Dec. 29 as she went to pick up dinner for her husband of 21 years, Kris Zimmerman, and their two children, Noah, 13, and Alex, 18.

The woman suffered the fatal injury around 8 p.m., crashed into the drive-through’s speaker box and was unconscious when discovered. Her husband said the thieves had only a short amount of time to commit their callous crime because several people went to try and help her almost immediately.

“They can’t believe that somebody would do that … a crime like that to somebody in her condition,” Zimmerman told the Eagle of his shocked and heartbroken sons. “It’s kind of a cruel wake-up call for them.”
