Joseph Daron Jr., 45, of Miami Township, Ohio, was murdered on February 17, 1991. Fautenberry was later arrested and charged in connection with Daron’s death and ultimately confessed to killing five people in four states during a roughly five-month period spanning late 1990 and early 1991.

Court records show Fautenberry pleaded no contest in July 1992 to multiple counts that included aggravated murder, grand theft and aggravated robbery; he received a death sentence. The case record notes debate over his mental state based on a childhood accident and a Navy injury, and that clemency was denied by the Ohio Board of Parole and the governor. Daron’s family, including his daughter Rachel who was 4 at the time, was reported to have expressed relief when the legal process concluded.

Are there details about Joseph Daron’s life, routines or contacts in Miami Township that anyone can add to help keep his memory clear?
