STARKE, Fla. AP – David Alan Gore was set to be executed Thursday nearly 29 years after murdering 17-year-old Lynn Elliott, whose attempted escape ended a string of rapes and murders that shook the quiet coastal town of Vero Beach.
In all, Gore killed four teenage girls and two women. Elliott’s murder is the only one for which he’s condemned. He was scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday at Florida State Prison. It’s a day Elliott’s parents have been waiting for – they say living for – and one many think should have come years ago considering there is no doubt he committed the crimes and he has shown no remorse for the killings.
