Jason Wayne Befort was 26 and a teacher and coach in Wichita, Kansas when he was killed on the morning of December 15, 2000. The victims were allegedly tortured, robbed and sexually assaulted throughout the night and then driven to several ATMs to withdraw money.

The five captives were taken to a snow-covered soccer field and shot execution-style; Jason and three friends were killed. One victim, Jason’s girlfriend, survived a gunshot wound to the head and, despite severe injuries, got to safety and provided testimony that led to arrests. The two brothers accused in the case were charged with capital murder, attempted murder, rape and robbery and were tried in the matter known as the Wichita Massacre.
