Dennis Sochor, a 74-year-old man, is set to become the oldest inmate executed in Florida’s history. Sochor was found guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping after 18-year-old Patricia Gifford refused to have sex with him on January 1, 1982.
Sochor met Gifford at a bar in the Fort Lauderdale area on New Year’s Day. He and his brother spent the night talking with her, and then Sochor drove her to a secluded area, where he attacked and killed her after she refused his advances.
Sochor was arrested in 1986 on unrelated charges and later confessed to the crime. He has been on death row since the 1980s and is scheduled to be executed by a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison in Bradford County.
