Murder of Jennifer Daugherty

Rare card · No. 71601

Jennifer Lee Daugherty (November 8, 1979 – February 11, 2010) was an American woman from Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, who was killed by a group of people later referred to as The Greensburg Six, in an act of revenge, in February 2010. Daugherty, who was mentally disabled, was humiliated, tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered by a group of individuals she considered to be her new circle of friends. Her body was wrapped in Christmas decorations, placed inside a trash can and discarded in the parking lot of Greensburg-Salem Middle School. Trials for all six perpetrators lasted over 12 years, spanning between 2010 and 2022, resulting in sentences varying between the death penalty and 20–80 years in prison. The case garnered national attention for its brutality and led to proposed legislative changes, such as “Jennifer’s Law,” which would criminalize failing to report violent crimes witnessed in the state of Pennsylvania. The initiative was signed into law in 2012.
