Police arrest two in robbery of dying woman in Taco Bell drive-through | Wichita Eagle

Please help if you can,,,

This story has a personal twist. If you live in or about the Wichita area or know people that do, I ask that you pass the enclosed photo of the ring around. I do not know the victim but am acquainted with a family member.

As Danielle Zimmerman suffered the aneurysm, her truck struck a speaker box and came to a stop in the drive-through. She had gone to get dinner for her family. As she lay stricken in her vehicle, someone took her purse, iPhone and the wedding ring off her finger.

The robbery of the critically ill woman prompted widespread outrage. Danielle Zimmerman died the day after being taken from the drive-through to a hospital in critical condition. She and her husband, Kris, had been married 21 years. They have two sons, 18 and 13.

Kris Zimmerman said Monday that the two arrests gave him some relief. “It helps maybe bring a little bit of closure,” and it shows that Crime Stoppers works and that the community is helping to solve the crime, he said. Police said a tip to Crime Stoppers led to the arrests.

As for Danielle Zimmerman’s teenage sons, “they can’t believe that somebody would do that … a crime like that to somebody in her condition,” Kris Zimmerman said.

“It’s kind of a cruel wake-up call for them.”

He said they have taught their sons to help people in need, “not take advantage of them.”

With the arrests, police recovered some of Danielle Zimmerman’s missing property but not the wedding ring, Allred said.

The ring has a special, sentimental value, Kris Zimmerman said. It is described as a white gold wedding ring with diamonds.

Police are hopeful about recovering all the property in their ongoing investigation, Allred said.
