Robert Glen Coe Robert Glen Coe Robert Glen Coe (April 15, 1956 – April 19, 2000), born in Hickman, Kentucky, was convicted of the 1979 rape and murder of eight-year-old Cary Ann Medlin, and later executed for the crime. On September 1, 1979, Cary Ann Medlin and her stepbrother were riding their bicycles in the neighborhood near their home in Greenfield, Tennessee. Robert Coe pulled up next to them and began to talk to them, acting as if he knew Cary's father and needed directions to his house. Cary got into Coe's car to help him, and she was never seen alive again.
