In the Summer of 1990 in Gainesville, Florida, police were baffled by a series of gruesome and sexually based murders. When the death toll of young college students, mostly young women, went up to five, the press dubbed the unknown assailant as "The Gainesville Ripper", a moniker the police disliked. Despite the police's persistent surveillance of an innocent man, Edward Humphrey, the real killer, Danny Harold Rolling was eventually caught, tried and executed. He later confessed to more unsolved murders before his death by lethal injection on October 25, 2006.
