In June 1972, Martin started a fire at an apartment building in High Point, North Carolina, which killed Josephine Hogan and her two daughters, Karen and Linda.

Martin was paroled after he served 4+1⁄2 years behind bars. On June 25, 1977, shortly after his release, Martin and his cousin Gary Paul Forbes kidnapped, raped and murdered 19-year-old George Washington University student Patricia Greenfield in Delray Beach, Florida. Forbes was sentenced to 99 years plus life for second-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery and rape, while Martin was sentenced to death and executed for first-degree murder on May 12, 1992.
