In August of 1990 the college town of Gainsville, Fl was rocked by the brutal murders of 5 students in a span of just 3 days. Their mutilated bodies purposely posed to shock and horrify. Classes were canceled, everyone began carrying baseball bats or other weapons with them wherever they went. People slept in shifts, and no one went out alone. The Gainesville Ripper is what they were calling him, but his crimes were far more sinister and gruesome than his name. Come gather with me round the cauldron and I'll tell you the horrific life and crimes of Danny Rolling aka the Gainsville Ripper.
