Karla Faye Tucker was born in Houston, Texas on the 18th November 1959.On the 13th June 1983, whilst high on a cocktail of methadone, valium, heroin, marijuana, rum and tequila, Karla and Daniel Ryan Garrett entered the apartment of Jerry Lynn Dean with the intention of stealing his motorbike. Once inside they found Dean in bed and attacked him with a hammer. Dean began making gurgling noises so Tucker finished him off with a pickaxe to “make the noise stop.” She then spotted Deborah Thornton hiding in the room and attacked her repeatedly with the same pickaxe, finally leaving it embedded in her torso. Tucker and Garrett then stole Dean’s money and car. Karla Faye Tucker was arrested on the 20th July 1983 and sentenced to death on the 25th April 1984.She was executed 14 years later, at Huntsville, Texas, by lethal injection on the 3rd February 1998.
