Facts of the Crime: Convicted and sentenced to death in the April 18, 1991 rape-murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios Martinez.
After seeing the photo of 11-year-old Junny Rios Martinez in a newspaper for winning a kite contest, Schwab stalked the boy. Posing as a reporter to get close to his family, Schwab kidnapped the boy from school, then raped, tortured and killed him at a Cocoa Beach motel. Schwab had been released early from a prison sentence he got for raping a 13-year-old boy. Although Schwab later claimed another man had made him kidnap and rape the boy, he was able to lead police to a footlocker in rural Brevard County where Junny's nude body was discovered.
