Uncommon card · No. 124113

On May 20, 1981, in Knoxville, Tennessee, 23-year-old Lee Standifer (May 22, 1957 – May 20, 1981), was murdered by her boyfriend David Earl Miller (July 16, 1957 – December 6, 2018), who dragged her into the woods, beating and stabbing her to death. Standifer's body was found the following day, and Miller was charged with her murder after being arrested in Ohio on May 29, 1981. Miller was subsequently convicted of the murder and sentenced to death twice; in 1982 and 1987. The first death sentence was overturned in 1984 before being reinstated in 1987. Miller spent about 36 years on death row before he was executed via the electric chair, making him the longest-serving death row inmate in Tennessee history at the time of his execution on December 6, 2018.
