Danny Rolling lived an unhappy life. A tortured soul since birth, Rolling, a.k.a the Gainesville Ripper, passed on the horrifying abuse he had endured onto his victims.
Over the course of four days in 1990, Rolling went on a rampage where he murdered five University of Florida students in a spree that terrified the nation.
But despite huge media coverage, Danny Rolling was never actually caught for the murders. It was only when he was arrested for an unrelated burglary charge that he confessed to some of the most horrific murders in Florida’s history and was unmasked as the Gainesville Ripper. Then, a few short years later, the Gainesville murders became even more infamous when they helped inspire the classic horror movie Scream.
This is the grisly true story of Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper.
