Episode Details

Florida prepares for a historic execution as 72-year-old Daniel Owen Conahan Jr. faces lethal injection for the 1996 kidnapping and murder of Richard Allen Montgomery — one of six victims in the chilling “Hog Trail Murders.” Though Conahan insists he’s innocent and was never charged for the other killings, authorities believe he’s the sole perpetrator behind the brutal spree across southwest Florida. His final appeals were denied by Florida’s Supreme Court, and a pending U.S. Supreme Court review offers no reprieve. With 19 executions already carried out in 2025 under Governor Ron DeSantis — a record since the death penalty’s return — this case underscores Florida’s relentless pursuit of justice — and its growing national controversy.
