DO NOT FORGET THE VICTIMS OF SERIAL KILLER, JOHN JOSEPH FAUTENBERRY (EXECUTED IN OHIO ON JULY 14, 2009)



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.
