May 11, 1954 - Daniel Conahan
Conahan was convicted of murder and rape in Florida, with investigators long suspecting him of additional killings linked to a series of deaths in the Charlotte Harbor area during the 1990s. The cases drew attention for their particular pattern and the challenges prosecutors faced in building cases without direct physical evidence tying him to multiple victims. His conviction on a single count belied the broader scope of what law enforcement believed he had carried out.

He was convicted of one murder, but has been linked to a dozen murders, mostly of transients seeking employment and gay men in the Charlotte County, Florida, area in what came to be known as the Hog Trail Murders. Conahan has also been named the prime suspect in the additional murders of eight men, collectively referred to as the Fort Myers Eight, who were discovered in a mass grave site in 2007. Conahan was executed by lethal injection on September 10, 2026, after spending nearly 27 years on death row.
