Julie Kibuishi and Sam Herr // 169 // Daniel Wozniak // Part 2

Drinking The Cool Aid

On May 21st, 2010, Dan Wozniak murdered his neighbor, Sam Herr at a Los Alamitos theater. In an effort to throw the police off his trail, he murdered Julie Kibuishi and staged the crime scene to make it look like Sam had sexually assaulted her and went on the run. Dan dismembered Sam's body and left some of his body parts in a park. He was apprehended at his bachelor party, just two days before his wedding. Dan was eventually convicted on two counts of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to death.
