Hog Trail Killer Faces Execution | Jacksonville News

Florida is set to carry out its 15th execution of 2026 tonight at 6 PM — Daniel Owen Conahan Jr., the “Hog Trail Killer,” faces death for the 1996 kidnapping and murder of 21-year-old Richard Allen Montgomery. Lured with promises of cash for photos, Montgomery was assaulted, strangled, and his genitals removed — a brutal crime that’s haunted Southwest Florida for decades. Conahan’s final U.S. Supreme Court appeal was denied today, sealing his fate. Authorities suspect he may be tied to as many as a dozen other unsolved murders in the region, turning this case into a chilling open wound for the community.
