Jeffrey Daugherty

Jeffrey Joseph Daugherty (September 26, 1955 – November 7, 1988) was an American serial killer who committed at least five murders in both Pennsylvania and Florida. Between February and March 1976, Daugherty, who was accompanied by his girlfriend Bonnie Heath, robbed and killed four women and one man in both states, and he was arrested on March 12, 1976.

Daugherty was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Pennsylvania courts for the two homicides committed within the jurisdiction, and while he was also given life imprisonment for two of the three murders committed in Florida, Daugherty was sentenced to death during his third murder trial in Florida for the 1976 death of Lavonne Sailer. Daugherty was executed by the electric chair on November 7, 1988, at the Florida State Prison. Heath herself was jailed for lesser charges pertaining to the murders.
