Yasmine Hider, 21, is set to plead guilty to murder, robbery and kidnapping after faking a car breakdown before ordering Adam Simjee and Mikayla Paulus into Talladega National Forrest in Alabama where she shot Simjee dead
A woman killed a university student who stopped to help her after she faked a car breakdown.
Yasmine Hider, 21, is set to plead guilty to murder, robbery and kidnapping over the attack on August 14 on Adam Simjee, 22, and Mikayla Paulus, 20. The tragic shooting unfolded after Hider flagged down the University of Central Florida students, who had been driving through Alabama’s Cheaha State Park looking for waterfalls.
Hider told the couple that her XB Scion had broken down in Talladega National Forrest in Alabama and asked for their help. The caring students followed her to her car and tried to use jumper cables to get it started, as Hider sat in the driver’s seat.
Paulus even called her mechanic dad for advice. However, the couple, from Apopka, Florida, did not know that the Scion had actually broken down weeks earlier, and that this was a ploy to rob them. Hider went on to pulled a gun on the couple and ordered them to “empty their pockets and walk into the woods,” claims her plea agreement.
