Candice Reed was a 5-year-old girl from Clay County, Florida, killed on April 18, 1983. Her death was later tied to a series of murders committed by Michael Alan Durocher, who was convicted of killing five people, including Candice, her mother Grace Reed, and his six-month-old son Joshua. The crimes in Clay County also included the murder of a male store clerk during a robbery and the bludgeoning death of Durocher’s roommate.

The bodies were not discovered until 1990. Durocher was executed by electrocution in Florida on August 25, 1993, after multiple appeals and briefs and after he requested his own execution. Candice’s death, together with the deaths of her mother and half-brother, left families and the community devastated.

Does anyone have memories of the Clay County case or information about the victims that could add context to their lives?
