Daniel Lee Corwin

Daniel Lee Corwin (September 13, 1958 – December 7, 1998) was an American serial killer who was sentenced to death and executed for murdering three women.

Corwin was sentenced to forty years in prison for kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder.

In July 1987, he kidnapped 26-year-old Debra Lynn Ewing from her Huntsville workplace and drove her to Montgomery County, where he raped and stabbed her.

[3] In October 1988, he abducted college student Wendy Gant in a parking lot of Kyle Field at Texas A&M University, using her car to drive them to an isolated rural area, where he bound, raped, beat, and stabbed Gant several times.

Gant managed to free herself and hid until Corwin left, later being found in a parking lot by a county employee and taken to hospital.

Gant requested a forensic artist,[5] but due to her throat being cut so deeply, she could not speak aloud to describe the assailant.

Police subsequently found a fingerprint from Corwin on the driver's side door of Gant's vehicle.

[6] The capital conviction was obtained under a recently implemented state law which permits capital convictions for murders committed "during different criminal transactions but committed pursuant to the same scheme or course of conduct.”[7] He was sentenced to death by a Montgomery Court.

In his final statement, Corwin apologized to the families of the victims, saying "I guess the first thing I want to do is thank some very special people, Sara and Sabrina, and for affording me the opportunity that y’all did.
