Police originally told the media that Skipper met Bearden, who was hitchhiking, while driving looking to pick up someone. The pair returned to Skipper's home where they smoked marijuana, and decided to use his notebook computer to commit check fraud.

The two drove to a home owned by Brown's uncle where they met up with Brown. Witnesses at the home said the three men left, but only Bearden and Brown returned 15 minutes later, their clothing stained with blood. Skipper's car was found three days later at a nearby dock. The car was soiled with blood and, investigators said, Bearden and Brown had unsuccessfully tried to set the month-old, powder blue Chevrolet Aveo on fire.
