The recent release of never - before - seen crime scene photos from the Gainesville Ripper case has sent shockwaves through the community and reignited a decades-long debate surrounding transparency in criminal investigations. To me, the scariest murderer out there. Legit copies of the crime scene photographs were tightly guarded and destroyed after Rollings was sentenced to death, but I was able to get some screenshots from the CourtTV footage. Hunter compared the case to that of Danny Rolling, also known as the Gainesville Ripper , sharing that Rolling was ultimately charged thanks to the DNA evidence that was found on the crime scene. The mother of one of the victims of the 1990 Gainesville student murders and the judge who sentenced convicted killer Danny Rolling to death talked about privacy and access to investigative. Stored in an otherwise unremarkable office on the first floor of the Alachua County Courthouse are some of the bloodiest, most disturbing photographs you could ever imagine. In late August 1990, Gainesville , Florida fell victim to a serial killer. Over the span of less than a week, five college students were brutally murdered in their homes. Police couldn’t figure out who was behind the gruesome attacks and the Gainesville community was absolutely terrified. A steady stream of local residents and reporters came to the Alachua County Courthouse Thursday to see graphic crime scene pictures of the Gainesville student murder victims. Danny Rolling, popularly referred to as the Gainesville Ripper , was a career criminal who was convicted for a string of burglaries, robberies and automobile thefts mere days after he tore through the fabric of the University of Florida campus community, killing five students in bizarre and macabre ways in August of 1990.
