Mary Jill Connelly Oberweis, a 56-year-old white woman, was murdered in her Aurora, Illinois home on October 1, 1993. Neighbors reported hearing a loud crash around 9 PM as two men—identified as Edward Tenney and his cousin Donald Lippert—broke down the back door. The intruders chased Oberweis down a hallway; Tenney fired a shot, then walked her to a chair in the family room, placed a gun near the left side of her head and fired. He then placed the gun inside her mouth and fired a second time.

Investigators found Oberweis was a widow and a close friend of Virginia Johannessen, another widow who lived nearby and had been shot to death earlier that year. Lippert, who was 16 at the time of Johannessen’s killing, later testified against Tenney and confessed to a shooting, plea-bargaining for an 80-year sentence for his role. Tenney was originally sentenced to death for the murders of Oberweis, Johannessen and a third victim, Jerry Weber; that sentence was later reduced to life in prison. Lippert received a 60-year prison term for his involvement.
