William Garner was executed for the death of 5 children in a Ohio apparent fire on Jan. 26, 1992 (only 1 child made it out a life).

He had stolen the key the victim's home while she was in the hospital. He admitted to the fire starting by him, but claimed he 'thought the kids would escape'

Motive #2:
Draw attention to the childrens' living condition. He told Police that one girl he noticed in a crowded bedroom, had asked him for water, which he provided (according to a report by Ohio Parole board).

It is also said that he had a limited IQ and violence, abusive, upbringing that caused him to act at a 14yr old level in 1992.

Before he was executed and presumed dead at 10:38am, he said he was 'heartily sorry' and read a statement.

During his last hours on earth he spoke with a friend on the phone & his twin brother. He visited his mom and other relatives, as well as a Spiritual Adviser and few other people.
