Hammer and knife: William Coday, Jr.

Jurors in 2002 convicted Coday of the 1997 murder of Gloria Gomez, 30. Coday killed Gomez after luring her to his Fort Lauderdale home by concocting a story that he was dying of skin cancer. He used a hammer to beat her, and when it broke, he used a second hammer and a knife, leaving her body with 144 wounds.

Gomez was alive for all but the last of those hammer blows and stab wounds, according to forensic evidence at the trial.

It was not the first time that Coday killed an ex-girlfriend.

In 1978, Coday used a hammer to kill Lisa Hullinger in Hamburg, Germany, where the 19-year-old woman was an American exchange student. Coday was also studying there. When Coday went on trial in Germany, his attorney used an insanity defense and Coday was sentenced to three years in prison.

He was released after 15 months and sent back to the United States with orders to get psychiatric treatment. He got some help but dropped out, partly because of the cost, he later said.
