On April 22, 1974, two vans carry a total of six men pulled up to the Hi-Fi Store in Ogden, Utah. Four men went in, while two stayed in the vans. Two men held five people hostage. They forced them to drink Drano and some were shot in the head. One girl was raped before being killed. Two survived the incident, but suffered permanent injuries. Only three of the men were found at a local air force base where they were stationed. Two were charged with three counts of first degree murder and two counts of aggravated robbery. The were both sentenced to death and executed. The third was just charged with aggravated robbery, as he was the getaway driver and had no knowledge of the killings. He was sentenced to five years to life but was paroled in 1987.
