David Alan Gore

Common card · No. 322694

David Alan Gore (August 21, 1953 – April 12, 2012) was an American serial killer who committed six murders in Vero Beach and Indian River County, Florida, from 1981 to 1983. He was accompanied in several of the murders by his cousin, Fred Waterfield, and both have collectively been dubbed the Killing Cousins. Gore was sentenced to death and executed by lethal injection in 2012, having been on Florida's death row for twenty-eight years, while Waterfield is currently serving two consecutive life sentences. In 1976, prior to the murders, police jailed and questioned both Gore and Waterfield after 20-year-old Angela Hommell Austin accused them of raping her at gunpoint. The cousins insisted the sex was consensual, and they were not charged in her case. Gore targeted at least four additional women who escaped with their lives.
