Donald David Dillbeck (born May 24, 1963) is a convicted murderer currently on Florida's Death Row for the stabbing and murder of a woman in a Tallahassee, Florida mall parking lot.

Crimes

On April 11, 1979, Dillbeck was sitting inside a car at a closed park at the beach in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Someone made a suspicious person complaint about this and Lee County deputy Lynn Hall arrived and questioned Dillbeck. While being questioned by Deputy Lynn Hall, Dillbeck ran from the car. The deputy chased Dillbeck on foot and caught him. During the struggle that followed, Dillbeck, only 15 years old at the time, managed to get the deputy's gun and shot and fatally wounded him. Dillbeck was arrested and, on June 6, 1979, sentenced to life imprisonment.

On February 7, 1983, Dillbeck attempted to escape from prison, but was re-captured the same day. For this, he was sentenced to one year and one day in prison.

On June 22, 1990, Dillbeck was working with other prison inmates at a catering function at Quincy Vocational Center in Quincy, Florida. During the event, Dillbeck walked away from the area and eventually ended up in nearby Tallahassee, Florida. Dillbeck purchased a paring knife and on June 24, 1990, he approached a woman named Faye Vann who was sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot of the Tallahassee Mall. Armed with the knife, Dillbeck attempted to carjack the vehicle, but Vann resisted. He then stabbed Vann repeatedly, causing her death, and fled in the vehicle, but crashed a short time later. Dillbeck was subsequently arrested by police.

Conviction

Dillbeck was convicted of first degree murder, armed robbery, and armed burglary and was sentenced to death on March 15, 1991. In addition, he received two consecutive life sentences on top of the one he already had. He was not sentenced for his escape from Quincy Vocational Center. Dillbeck is currently on Death Row at the Union Correctional Institution located in Raiford, Florida.
