Here's where Danny Ray Horning comes in.

Following his escape from Florence State Prison in May 1992, convicted bank-robber turned fugitive Danny Ray Horning went on the run for seven weeks, resulting in the largest manhunt in Arizona history. Known as “Rambo” to his pursuers because of his skill at avoiding capture in the wilderness, Horning achieved folk hero status among the general public — viewed as something of a blue-collar Robin Hood. Unknown to the masses at the time, Horning had a dark and disturbing history back home in California’s Central Valley. As a suspect in a 1990 dismemberment murder case and convicted child molester, Horning was not your average fugitive. A tale of cold-blooded murder, wilderness survival, and much, much more: this is the true story of Danny Ray Horning.

A Body in the Water

On a warm evening in September 1990, a fisherman named Mark Lawson went down to the banks of the San Joaquin River Delta near Stockton, California. On a little stretch of river called the Burns Cut — a popular fishing hole on the outskirts of town — Lawson cast his line out into the slow-moving current. Littl

It’s all in the intonation.

“May God help you!” – the rising word ‘God’ stretched out across several syllables and the ‘help you’ a dismissive, downbeat ‘help ya’, as the officer waved us through.

We looked at each other, put the car in drive and moved off through the roadblock, past a cordon of armed police.

“Is it just me, or did he really not want us to do this?”

“Oh, I think he was pretty clear on the subject”.

“But we’re going, right?”

“What else are we going to do? We’ve got rooms booked. It’s Fourth of July weekend coming up. There’s nowhere else to stay”.

“There is that. There is also the fact that a heavily armed police officer just advised us definitely not to do the thing that we’re just about to do”.

We looked at each other, shrugged, and drove off down the road towards the Grand Canyon.

SO: The Record

A cocky one-time prison escapee surprised a Stockton judge Friday by asking

him to skip the formalities and sentence him to death so he can speed up his

appeals in a grisly murder case.

Danny Ray Horning, 34 -- who walked into the courtroom smiling and flashing

a V for victory sign -- was found guilty by a jury Friday of first-degree

murder of east Stockton catfish farmer Sammy Leigh McCullough, 40, during the

commission of a burglary and a robbery.

Superior Court Judge William R. Giffen told the jury to return July 26 for

a penalty phase of Hornings trial, in which the jury would decide between two

punishments: execution or life in prison without parole.

But Hornings lawyer, Michael J. Rovell of Chicago, told Giffen after the

jury left the room that Horning decided he wants to forgo the anticipated
