- A 65-year-old man known as one of Florida’s most notorious serial killers who was convicted of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing eight women in 1984 is scheduled to be executed on Thursday.
Investigators said Long’s crime spree began in the early 1980s when he answered ads for household goods for sale in local newspapers placed by women, went to their homes and sexually assaulted them. Authorities believe that Long, dubbed the “Classified Ad Rapist,” used this tactic to rape dozens of women in California and Florida.
In September 1985, Long pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to death for the May 27, 1984, homicide of Michelle Simms, 22, whom he picked up in Tampa, according to the death warrant signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Take out the trash.
Late
Why is Florida trying to kill Bill MURRAY?
I don't understand why they would wait so long to do what should have been done in a few weeks of the sentence . If he was found guilty
It actually costs more to execute someone than keep them in prison for life. But Florida wanted to do both.
Took to long
What's taking so long? Let's move it along
Why do we continue to place these killers in MSM? New headline-community surrounds victims’ families with love. priorities. More people need to speak out about the shameful bankroll of cash earned thru celebratizing these demons. No wonder we don’t respect life anymore.
still a good chance of a Presidential pardon
1984 - 2019, Damn! Death Penalty is a joke in USA because Laws allows for multiple appeals, hence Tax payers end up paying room&board for years for heinous criminals. Not fair! In China & South Arabia executions are expedite
What the hell took so long !!
only right surely?
What took so long?
35 years longer than it should have taken. Too bad he won't get to meet Old Sparky 😢
Should have done that right after his sentence.
good job
Did they encase him in gold first?!
If he was in Alabama or Missouri or Mississippi he would have be released from prison with a happy handshake.
If he was black they would have shot him 35 years ago
Well that only took 35 years
Why it took 35 years ffs!?
So we’ve been feeding & providing shelter for 35 YEARS Guess the trial was speedy (?) but punishment delayed at the expense of taxpayers because?
Sick individual! Ive seen several documentaries about him, real evil piece if shit! The girl he abducted but managed to get away is now a sheriffs deputy, respect. No doubt she'll be in attendance.
Wow trump isn’t going to pardon him?
Good for Florida
Should've been done in 84
It took 29 years to get justice? Meanwhile taxpayers had to pay for this killers, food, housing, lawyers! Something is rotten to the core with the criminal justice system! It's criminal!
Should have been executed within an hour of the sentence.
Hey hey hey hey...hey hey hey heyyyyyy goooooooodbyyyyyyyyyyye.
I was 3. I'm not really keen on the death penalty anyway, but why did it take 34+ years?
As he should be.
