On April 6, 1997, 25-year-old Gregory "Greg" Philip Malnory (July 18, 1971 – April 6, 1997) and his 26-year-old wife Kimberly "Kim" Ann Malnory (née Parkinson; November 9, 1970 – April 6, 1997) were murdered by James Dennis Ford (born July 23, 1960) at South Florida Sod Farm in Charlotte County, Florida, after Ford lured the couple to the farm under the pretense of a fishing trip. The Malnorys were both bludgeoned and shot to death by Ford, who additionally raped Kimberly before he killed her, and Ford also abandoned the Malnorys' 22-month-old daughter Maranda alone at the couple's pickup truck with the family dog Rosco. Ford was found guilty of the double murder and sentenced to death in 1999. He is currently on death row at the Florida State Prison, awaiting to be executed on February 13, 2025.^[1]
