Jackson, MS : Ex-husband and son of Paula Sims die in car crash in Mississippi on Saturday, 25th August 2018

The ex-husband and sole surviving child of convicted baby killer Paula Sims died in a traffic crash on Saturday afternoon in Jackson, Miss.

Robert Sims, 63, and Randall Sims, 27, died when their sport-utility vehicle, a Jeep, was forced off an interstate overpass. Robert Sims was the ex-husband of Paula Sims, who was convicted of the murder of her infant daughter Heather in Alton in 1989 and hiding the death of another daughter, Loralei, three years earlier. Randall Sims was her sole surviving child.

“The whole history is sad to me. It’s very sad when people die tragically. It’s very disturbing,” said State Sen. Bill Haine, who was Madison County state’s attorney when Sims was prosecuted. “My heart goes out to Paula. The poor woman is still in jail and now will grieve the loss of her only child.”

The Sims’ Jeep was traveling south when a white Volvo clipped the back of a car, said Jackson Police Department Public Information Officer Colendula Green. The silver Jeep left a bridge and both Simses were ejected.
