Death sought for cocaine slaying

OZARK, Mo. -- A prosecutor said Tuesday that he will seek the death penalty for two people accused of injecting a former Macon County prosecutor with a lethal dose of cocaine.

The notice of intent was filed by Christian County Prosecutor Ron Cleek.

Thomas Naumann, 49, and Crystal Broyles, of Nixa, are both charged with first-degree murder in the death of David Masters, 52. His body was found last month along the James River.

Investigators say Masters was confronted by housemates Broyles and Naumann because he allegedly was three weeks behind on rent and had made unwanted sexual advances toward Broyles.

Masters was killed after telling Broyles and Naumann he wanted to die of a cocaine overdose instead of being shot.
