Common card · No. 421764

Timothy Wesley McCorquodale (November 2, 1952 – September 21, 1987) was an American convicted murderer sentenced to death in Georgia for the 1974 torture and murder of Donna Marie Dixon, a run-away girl from Newport News, Virginia. On January 16, 1974, McCorquodale and an acquaintance, known only as "Leroy", kidnapped 17-year-old Dixon before they raped and tortured the girl to death, and mutilated her body. Leroy was never caught for the crime, but McCorquodale was arrested and charged for his involvement in the murder. McCorquodale was found guilty of raping and murdering Dixon on April 11, 1974, and sentenced to death by electrocution the next day on April 12, 1974. McCorquodale, who lost his appeals against the death sentence, was incarcerated on death row for 13 years before he was put to death by the electric chair on September 21, 1987.
