Evelyn Simms is the murder victim in The Death of the Queen Bee.
Background[]
Evelyn went to Burtonsville High School from 1990-1994 with Temperance Brennan, Brad Benson, Sarah Tidwyler, Julie Coyle, Becky Conway, Carrie Turner, & Andy Pfleuger, where she was very popular. Shortly before senior prom, she made a pact with her best friend Julie to kill Sarah due to her relationship with Brad, agreeing to share him afterwards. After Sarah was killed, Brad and Evelyn started going out, eventually getting married after high school. Two weeks before their 15th reunion, Julie claimed it was "her turn" with Brad, but Evelyn refused, leading Julie to shove her into the metal star decorations that were drying on the rack for the reunion, killing her and dumping her in the woods near a barn. Evelyn was supposed to fly out to Nicaragua for charity work shortly before her death.
