On this
date, July 14, 2009, a serial killer by the name of John Joseph Fautenberry was
executed by lethal injection in Ohio. He was the 30th person
executed by the State of Ohio since 1976. Surprisingly, the abolitionists in
Ohio kept quiet about his case. Let us hear from one of his victims’ family
member:

| John Joseph Fautenberry |
QUOTE 1: The
former truck driver-turned-drifter confessed to killing five people including
Joseph Daron Jr., 46, of Milford. Daron’s 23-year-old daughter decided not to
witness the execution, but said she was happy to see her father’s murderer
loaded into the hearse. Rachel Daron and her mother, Sandy Bronner, both of
Amelia, watched from a prison visitors’ room. “I’m just
glad this is finally over,” said Rachel, who was 4 when her father was
fatally shot twice in the chest by the hitchhiker.
QUOTE 2: Rachel
Daron said she wasn’t disappointed that Fautenberry didn’t make a statement “because I know he’s not sorry. He didn’t care. Even if he
did (make a statement) it’s not going to bring my dad back or any of the other
victims back. I just saw him go to the hearse and that was good enough for me.”
Rachel said she doesn’t remember much about her father. “He liked to drink
coffee. I never really got to know him. He was stolen from me.”
AUTHOR: Rachel Daron whose father, Joseph Daron Jr. was murdered by John Joseph
Fautenberry on February 17, 1991. He was executed by lethal injection in Ohio on July 14, 2009. Fautenberry, a former Oregon truck driver, was hitchhiking near
Cincinnati when he was picked up by truck driver Joseph Daron Jr., 46, of
Milford, on February 17, 1991. After driving to a nearby restaurant, as
Fautenberry was getting out, he reached back in and shot Daron with a .22
caliber pistol. Fautenberry then drove the truck to a wooded area near the Ohio
River, dumped the body, then used the truck and credit cards to return to
Oregon. Fautenberry pleaded no contest on July 23, 1992, to two counts each of
aggravated murder and grand theft and one count of aggravated robbery.
Fautenberry confessed to killing a total of five people in four states — Alaska,
Oregon, Ohio and New Jersey — during a five-month period in late 1990 and early
1991. After his arrest in Alaska, Fautenberry confessed to the Cincinnati
murder.
