Daniel Harold Rolling (May 26, 1954 – October 25, 2006), known as the “Gainesville Ripper,” was an American serial killer who murdered five students in Gainesville, Florida, in August 1990. His brutal crimes—characterized by sexual assault, mutilation, and posing of victims—shocked the nation and inspired the 1996 film Scream.
Rolling’s violent upbringing and history of criminal behavior culminated in the Gainesville murders, committed while he was on the run from an attempted murder charge in Louisiana. He was arrested in 1991 after a series of armed robberies and later confessed to the killings. Rolling pleaded guilty in 1994 and was executed by lethal injection in 2006. His case remains a focal point in discussions of criminal profiling and the psychology of rage and control.
