Byron or 'Low Tax' Looper was born as Byron Anthony Looper on the 15th of September, 1964, in Tennessee. He is a former politician, but is currently an inmate of the Tennessee State Penal System. In order to progress in his political career and reach desired heights of success, he legally changed his middle name to 'Low Tax'. He was officially convicted for the murder of the Tennessee state Senator Tommy Burks, his political opponent.
In 1998, Looper vyied for the coveted Republican nominations for the sixth Congressional District of Tennessee and the Tennessee State Senate. He lost the Congressional nomination and that too, to a candidate who was not under indictment. This resulted in him finishing last in a field of four candidates. However, he won the state senate nomination by default, since he was the only Republican candidate on role. This resulted in him being pitted against the conservative candidate, the Democratic state senator Burks.
On the morning of the 19th of October, the local police authorities were called to investigate a 'likely' murder at the Burks' farm. The Senator's body was discovered, with his head against the steering wheel of his SUV. He was on record for a conversation he had moments earlier with a farmhand, Wesley Rex. Both men professed to seeing a black car, driven by a man in sunglasses and wearing black gloves. They had spotted the car being driven by the farm on many occasions that morning. The car somehow had later sped by Rex's truck, allowing Rex to get a view of the driver, Byron Looper.
