THE MURDERS

    Sean once claimed that his killing began because of "stress."

His first murder was that of an 82 year old woman. Gillis intended

to rape her, but became scared when she screamed when he 

touched her. In order to stop her screams, Gillis sliced the

woman's throat, and continued to stab her. 50 times on the left

side of her body. Afterward, Gillis merely left her body at her

residence.

  In 1999, Gillis began stalking a jogger, for approximately

three weeks. Around 5:30am. on May 30, 1999 he picked up

a 52 tear old. Two days later, the body was discovered. Gillis

confessed that he had hit her with his car; knocking her body

into the ditch.

  The same year, Gillis killed his last victim; Donna Bennett,

43. The victim was mutilated post-mortem; in addition raped and strangled.

   After his arrest, police found 95 digital evidence photos. He had 

downloaded images to computer. Additionally, Gillis kept body

parts to "stimulate him" later when re-living the crime.
