Hog Trail Killer Set for Execution | Orlando News

Florida’s governor has signed the death warrant for Daniel Owen Conahan Jr., the “Hog Trail Killer,” convicted in 1999 for luring and murdering Richard Allen Montgomery in the woods — a crime that shocked the state. Though Conahan was never charged in other linked disappearances, his execution is set for September 10th, marking his 15th death warrant signed by DeSantis this year. With 12 executions already carried out in 2024 — following a record 19 last year — Florida’s death penalty system is moving swiftly. DeSantis insists capital punishment delivers justice to grieving families, even if it can’t undo the past. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
