"My husband didn't know what was happening. "I screamed," Ada Larson said about discovering her daughter had been killed. Rolling confessed to the murder of Larson and four others and was executed in 2006.) (Eighteen-year-old Sonja Larson was among the victims of the so-called Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rolling, in Gainesville, Florida, in 1990. All her clothes had been taken off, he said, and "she was lying back on the bed with her feet on the floor and her hair fanned out."
Journalist John Donnelly, who covered the story for the Miami Herald, said the officers noticed the unusual way in which Sonja Larson's body was posed. Sonja Larson's body was found on her waterbed on the second floor, with stab wounds in her arms and torso. She had been raped and stabbed multiple times and had been mutilated. Ray Barber, called for backup and with more investigators on the scene, they found Powell dead on the first floor of the apartment. And the sad, sad part about it is that we had the parents behind us on the stairs." "My maintenance man, unfortunately, ran down the stairs screaming, 'Oh my God,' and came out and threw up. You could see in a bad position, and I just turned around and walked out," Curnutt said. "When he went in, I followed him in the apartment and I saw the young lady on the bed.

"We had no way of reaching her," Ada Larson said. Sonja Larson and Powell's families became unable to reach them just days after they moved in. Larson's mother, Ada Larson, said she "hated the fact" that her daughter would be living off-campus, but all the dormitories were full. The new students had met each other during the summer and decided to be roommates, ultimately finding an apartment off-campus in a complex called Williamsburg Apartments. Those who knew Larson said she was a sweet girl, but reserved, and that she liked to work with children. Alison Emery, Powell's high school best friend, said she was so excited to be moving into the next phase of her life. Sonja Larson and Christina "Christi" Powell were new students at the University of Florida in 1990. They couldn't say definitively it was Ed's hair, but they couldn't say it wasn't." Three days, five murders "We had a lot of physical evidence that, according to our technology at the time, placed Ed at some of the scenes," Maines said. She said she thought of Rolling, who, just a few months after the murders in their community, said something deeply disturbing to her then-husband, Steven Dobbin. The murders were eerily similar to three others that had occurred in Shreveport in November 1989. All of them had been stabbed to death and some were left in sexually provocative positions. Three of the women had been raped and one had been decapitated. Over the course of three days, police in Gainesville discovered the bodies of five college students, a man and four women. ' One day, I'm going to leave this town and I'm going to go where the girls are beautiful and I can just lay in the sun and watch beautiful women all day,'" Juracich said. That man, Danny Rolling, had told her that one day he was going to leave Shreveport, where they lived. They immediately made her think about a man from her Louisiana hometown church who used to spend time with her and her family. Cindy Juracich was on a trip through the Florida Panhandle in August 1990 when she heard a news report about a grisly string of murders. They didn't connect the robbery to the Gainesville murders until later on, when they listened to it.
