    Darrel Eston Lee - Arizona Death Row





    Facts of the Crime:

    Near noon on December 5, 1991, Darrel Lee and Karen Thompson approached John Calvin Anderson at his car to kidnap and rob him in order to get money to buy drugs. Lee and Thompson took Anderson's money and credit cards, then took him to a bank machine where they forced him to tell them his PIN. Thompson then used Anderson's bank card to withdraw money from the ATM. Anderson begged for his life, and Lee told him he would not be harmed. Lee and Thompson bound Anderson and left him in a ditch. A short time later, however, they came back and got Anderson and put him in the trunk of his car. Lee and Thompson drove from Phoenix to La Paz County, with Anderson bound in the trunk for about eight hours. Using a garden hose, Lee unsuccessfully attempted to poison Anderson with automobile exhaust. Anderson tried to escape, but Lee recaptured him. Lee attempted to strangle Anderson with a belt, then held him while Thompson killed him by hitting him in the head with a rock. Lee then again strangled Anderson after Thompson struck the fatal blow.

    Lee was sentenced to death on March 8, 1993.
