Fifty-seven year old Katherine Booker of Kennett, Missouri was riding with her husband Billie Booker on U.S. Highway 412 in Dunklin County, Missouri on October 5, 2007 when Andrew Pyles, the driver of a 2004 Kia failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the passenger side of Bille Booker's vehicle where Katherine Booker was riding.
