James Schmidt was 25 and from Chicago, Illinois, when he and his 25-year-old fiancée Dorothy Cerny were stopped on Highway 57 in Cook County on June 3, 1973.

Brisbon, identified as the triggerman, was later convicted of the double murder and given an aggregate sentence described as 1,000 to 3,000 years. David Sanders was also convicted of the murders and of armed robbery, receiving concurrent terms reported as 300 to 900 years for each murder count and 50 to 100 years for each armed robbery count. Two other men, Stanley Charleston and Darrel Thompson, testified against Sanders and received reduced sentences in exchange for their cooperation.

What information do readers have about James Schmidt or Dorothy Cerny, or about that stretch of Highway 57 in Cook County in 1973, that could shed more light on the events of that night?
