Faye Vann was parked at a Florida shopping mall waiting for her family when an escaped prisoner serving a life sentence for killing a deputy approached her with a knife and demanded a ride.
Vann, 44, honked her horn, tried to drive off and fought her attacker that Sunday afternoon in 1990 just 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the state Capitol in Tallahassee, court records show. She was stabbed more than 20 times with a paring knife and had her throat slit by Donald Dillbeck, who is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday for the murder.
