Rick Chance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rick Chance was a Tempe, Arizona-based businessman, known throughout the western United States for founding and advertising Empire Auto Glass, an auto windshield replacement company that dominated the industry by offering free meals at local restaurants.
On August 9, 2002, Chance's body was discovered in a Tempe hotel room where he was fatally shot the night before. Several days later, police in Tacoma, Washington apprehended strippers Brandi Lynn Hungerford and Robert Donald Lemke II in connection with Chance's murder. Allegedly, the couple killed Chance while robbing him of a cache of jewelry worth over one million dollars.
