This killer kidnapped, robbed, raped and executed the victim in Kenton
County in 1987. After raping her, he strangled her to death despite
her begging him not to kill her.
The
defendant went on a shopping spree with the victim's credit cards. Her
body was found weeks later near the Indiana-Illinois border.
The
date of her death had to be established by the extent of blowfly
maggot development on her body.
