Michael Stephen Combs
Facts of the Crime:
Sentenced to death in San Bernardino County on June 21, 1993 for the October 24, 1990 murder of Janine Lee. Prosecutors said Combs tricked Lee into driving him and his co-defendant, Cynthia Purcell, who was tried separately, to Calico Ghost Town. A week after the killing, Combs and Purcell were arrested in Arizona after they had an accident while driving Lee’s car. Combs confessed, saying he strangled Lee from the back seat and stole her car, as he had planned to do all along.
