The murders went unsolved for nearly four years, until the husband of his ex-wife called a tip line and implicated him.

[3] His family consisted of laborers and carnival workers who were spread across multiple states including: Florida, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

His father used to beat him when he was a child and his mother once walked him to a school bus stop on a leash.

[4] In 1982, his girlfriend, Cheryl Haffner, told authorities Bolin had kidnapped her and driven her around the Tampa Bay area for hours.

[5] On November 5, 1986, 17-year-old Stephanie Collins, a Chamberlain High School student, disappeared after finishing her shift at a drug store.

[8] Haffner testified that she had been with Bolin before he kidnapped Holley and had helped him dispose of some evidence.

Texas prosecutors declined to seek an indictment in the case because Bolin was already charged with multiple murders in Florida.

[9] Bolin was found guilty and was sentenced to death in July 1991 for the murder of Holley.

His last meal consisted of a rib-eye steak, a baked potato, salad, garlic bread, lemon meringue pie, and Coca-Cola.
