Discretion, Discretion advised.

This is 10-minute murder. August 14th, the summer of 2022.

A couple just at the start of their journey into adulthood headed out for a day of hiking

in the Talladega National Forest in Alabama.

It was a Sunday. The sun was shining and school started that Monday.

The only thing left to do was squeeze in one last trip out to see the waterfalls before these

two young people had their very first classes of the semester at the University of Central Florida

the following day. Twenty-two-year-old Adam Simgi and Michaela Paulus, who was only 20 years old at the time,

had been out to the park many times before that fateful Sunday.

In fact, the forests in the National Park were some of Adam's favorite places to go,

especially when he could go there when the weather was good,

and he had his girlfriend Michaela by his side.

The young couple set out pretty early that morning, and were already driving around the park around 10 o'clock

when they spotted something on the side of the road that made them pull over and stopped the car.

A young woman had flagged them down.

Right beside her was a broken down vehicle of her own

that she needed help with. 21-year-old Yasmin Heider was camping up in the woods with her friend

and was on her way into town to pick up some much-needed food and supplies when her friend's car

had suddenly stopped working. Yasmin was then left stranded on the road, and that's why she'd stopped Adam and Michaela to ask her for help.

Adam did not hesitate.

He jumped right in.

Both he and Michaela spent over an hour with Yasmin on the side of the park road, desperately trying to fix her car.
