Daniel Gwynn More News

On November 19, 1994, at approximately 6:00 a.m., Daniel Gwynn went into an abandoned building where he had formerly lived with several squatters. He forcibly entered the third floor apartment shared by Donald Minnick and Marsha Smith, the deceased victim. Daniel Gwynn said Mr. Minnick could leave but that Ms. Smith had to stay. Mr. Minnick left to get help from the other occupants of the third floor and when they returned they saw that Ms. Smith’s mouth was bloody and she was crying. Daniel Gwynn then punched Mr. Minnick and a fight ensued. Mr. Minnick and the other occupants then evicted appellant from the building. As appellant left, he said “I’ll get you one way or another, all of you․ I will get all of you. If I can’t stay in the building, none of you can stay in the building.”

The next morning at about 6:00 a.m., the occupants of the building were awakened to shouts of fire. Ms. Smith was in such a panic that she could not jump out of the third floor window to a pile of trash below and, therefore, she died in the fire.³ All of the other occupants were able to escape from the burning building with varying degrees of injury.

The evidence showed a fire had been set. Gasoline had been poured under two apartment doors, down the stairs leading from the fourth floor, underneath the stairs between the third and fourth floors and down the third floor hallways. The gasoline was then ignited. The fire had been set in such a way that fire blocked the stairs from the third floor apartments. Gwynn later confessed that he had poured the gasoline and ignited the fire, allegedly accidentally.

Robert Flor More News

A cop killer again had his death sentence upheld.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the sentence for Robert Anthony Flor, 54, formerly of Bedminster Township, who shot Newtown Borough police officer Brian S. Gregg dead in 2005 while at St. Mary Medical Center in Middletown Township.

Gregg was born in Bristol and raised in Levittown.

Flor has tried to lessen his sentence numerous times since pleading guilty to the murder in 2006. His argument has been that he has intellectual disabilities and a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that intellectually disabled people are ineligible for the death penalty. He also has argued there was prosecutorial misconduct and his counsel was not effective.

Three mental health experts put on the record by Flor concluded that he suffered from one or more mental illnesses, including major depressive disorder and personality change due to brain damage.

Prosecutors argued that Flor’s complaints were meritless.

The majority of state supreme court justices ruled against Flor’s arguments Wednesday and said they were baseless.

Flor, a Falls Township native, took the gun from Newtown Borough patrolman James Warunek after being taken to the Middletown Township hospital following his arrest for DUI and punching his girlfriend. Gregg, Warunek and hospital employee Joseph Epp were all shot in the 2005 violence. A large manhunt ensued after and Flor was found hiding in a car on the hospital grounds.

“Robert Flor was convicted of killing police officer Brian Gregg, shooting police Officer James Warunek, and shooting hospital employee Joseph Epp in 2006 and has been trying to get off of death row ever since,” District Attorney Matt Weintraub said in a statement. “All he offers are excuses. We will meet him at every attempt he makes to evade his death sentence, which he earned.”

Anthony Fiebiger More News

Anthony Fiebiger was born on July 14, 1963. In 1998, when he was about 35 years old, he was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. After his arrest, he was stated to be mumbling about a murder that had been bothering him and, upon questioning, confessed to two brutal murders. The first one was regarding the mysterious disappearance of Norma Parker in 1989.

Norma was Anthony’s girlfriend at the time, and they had been living together in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. She was last seen on February 27, 1989, and was reported missing by her sister about a week later. Anthony was long considered a suspect in that case, but he wasn’t charged. He confessed to the police that Norma had woken him up, which made him angry, and he choked her with his hands, a towel, and even a nunchuck. He then put her body in a 55-gallon industrial drum and buried her in a park before coming back to pour battery acid over the grave. In 1998, he led the authorities to her remains.

The other murder that he confessed to was the long-unsolved case of Marcia Jones. He told the police that in 1982, Anthony and his friend, Joseph Morton, were looking for a woman to rape. They came across the 16-year-old Marcia and coaxed her into a park by offering her marijuana. The two of them then proceeded to rape, beat, sodomize and strangle her. They also stabbed her multiple times in the neck and consequently buried her in a shallow grave.

Her body was found on May 22, 1982. In his confession, Anthony had also stated that he had always fantasized about killing people, especially children. He was convicted of murdering Marcia and later pleaded guilty to Norma’s murder. Joseph Morton, the accomplice in the 1982 killing, was also found guilty of rape and murder.

Anthony Fiebiger was found guilty for the murder of Marcia Jones and pleaded guilty for the murder of Norma Parker. He was sentenced to death in both cases. In 2001, he waived his right to appeal and right to legal representation and asked to be executed. But he is still on death row. As per prison records, he is incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution – Phoenix in Collegeville, Pennsylvania

Leroy Fears More News

The record, developed at the suppression hearing, guilty plea proceeding and sentencing hearing, reveals that, on June 18, 1994, twelve-year-old Shawn Hagan and thirteen-year-old James Naughton met with other teenagers and Leroy Fears, age thirty-two, at a fishing hole on the Monongahela River. The day before, Appellant had paid Naughton to bring a bottle of his parent’s vodka from his home. Leroy Fears and the boys spent the day drinking, swimming and fishing. Appellant, Hagan and Naughton eventually separated from the other boys and continued to fish farther down the river. When it began to get dark, Naughton left the area and Hagan continued to swim.

Upon coming to shore, Hagan removed his outer shorts to hang dry. Hagan sat down next to Leroy Fearsat which time Hagan’s arm brushed Appellant. Appellant became aroused, told Hagan to stand, pulled Hagan’s boxer shorts down, and performed oral sex on him. Appellant then asked Hagan what he was going to do about the incident. Hagan responded that he was going to tell his parents that Leroy Fears had kidnapped him. Appellant then pushed Hagan to the ground, sat on top of him, and choked him for approximately five minutes. When Hagan stopped moving, Appellant removed his hands from Hagan’s throat. Once Hagan started to revive and cough, Appellant choked him a second time for approximately ten minutes until Appellant was satisfied that Hagan was no longer alive. Appellant then rolled Hagan on to his stomach. Appellant again became aroused and performed anal sex on him. Appellant then placed Hagan’s body in the river and kept watch for approximately twenty minutes. Leroy Fears searched the riverbank, found a tire rim and tied it to Hagan’s neck. He then swam Hagan’s body out into the river where it sank below the surface.

On June 19, 1994, the City of Pittsburgh Police began an investigation into the disappearance of Hagan. They encountered Appellant while searching the area where Hagan had last been seen. Appellant offered to help the police and advised them that he was the last person to have seen Hagan. Appellant also told the officers that he was concerned that neighbors may suspect him in the disappearance because of a prior sexual contact he had with a young boy. After spending several hours with detectives, Appellant voluntarily agreed to accompany them to the Pittsburgh Police Detective Bureau.

In his initial statement, Leroy Fears discussed fishing with Hagan, but did not admit to any criminal activity. As this was occurring, the police learned from another source that Leroy Fears had paid Naughton to provide him with alcohol. Appellant overheard other officers discussing this information, and blurted out that he had given the boy money for vodka, but denied making the boys drink it. The detectives advised Appellant of his rights pursuant to Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), and presented him with a pre-interrogation warning form. Appellant responded that he was willing to provide the police with a written statement, but that he would no longer speak with the officers. All questioning ceased. The police charged Appellant with corruption of minors and incarcerated him on that charge.

John Eichinger More News

Convicted serial killer John C. Eichinger, who murdered four people including a 3-year-old girl, is continuing his efforts to get off death row.

Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr., who personally prosecuted the former supermarket employee from New Jersey, maintained that the 35-year-old Eichinger should die for his crimes.

‘If anyone deserves, legally and morally, to die it is John Eichinger,’ said Castor Wednesday. ‘This case, with its multiplicity of murders, is the perfect case for the death penalty. He is the single most prolific killer in Montgomery County’s history.’

With the state Superior Court and state Supreme Court refusing his requests to overturn his death sentence, Eichinger has turned to the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his petition, alleging that Judge William R. Carpenter erred in his sentencing instructions to the jury that subsequently returned with three death penalty verdicts.

Eichinger’s allegation that he did not receive a fair sentence is nonsense, according to county Assistant District Attorney Patricia E. Coonahan, who wrote and this week filed the county’s response to Eichinger’s petition to the country’s highest court.

‘The jury instructions that were given in this case are proper and sound,’ said Coonahan.

Eichinger was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to die by lethal injection for the Good Friday stabbing deaths of 27-year-old Heather Greaves, her 23-year-old sister Lisa Greaves and Heather’s 3-year-old daughter Avery Johnson, at the Greaves family residence on Kingwood Road in King of Prussia in 2005.

He also was convicted of first-degree murder for the stabbing death of Jennifer Still in her Bridgeport apartment on July 6, 1999. He received the life sentence for that first murder.

Carpenter found Eichinger guilty of first-degree murder in all four cases following a brief trial in October 2005 in which Eichinger offered no defense.

The details of the murders were provided by statements that Eichinger gave authorities, letters he wrote from prison to one of his three brothers and a journal he kept.

Eichinger told authorities he had killed both Heather Greaves and Still because they spurned his romantic advances. Lisa Greaves and Avery Johnson had to die because they witnessed the slaying of Heather Greaves, Eichinger confessed.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty for Still’s murder because there were no aggravating factors in that case. As a result, Eichinger received a mandatory life sentence without parole for that killing.

However, with Castor seeking the death penalty for the other three murders, John Eichinger opted to have a jury decide his fate. The jury, deliberating almost six hours following a three-day sentencing hearing in November 2005, returned with a verdict of death for each of the three murders.

In his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, Eichinger claimed the judge made a mistake by not specifically instructing jurors that there is a ‘presumption of life imprisonment’ in the case unless the district attorney proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the sentence should be death.

‘The death penalty statute in Pennsylvania has been found constitutional in the past by the U.S. Supreme Court and we believe there is no constitutional requirement that explicit jury instructions be given on the presumption of life,’ said Assistant District Attorney Coonahan.
