Stano was known to Hensley and local sex workers, and she was able to identify the man to authorities. Officially, Stano admitted that he began killing in the early 1970s, when he was in his twenties; however, he also claimed to have begun killing in the late 1960s, at the age of 18. Several girls had gone missing in Stano's area of residence at that time, but insufficient physical evidence was found when these claims were investigated almost twenty years later and Stano was never charged. He was most active in Florida and New Jersey. Stano admitted to committing his first murder in New Jersey in 1969. He also confessed to having killed six other women in Pennsylvania. After his moving to Florida he may have murdered 30 or more women. Most of Stano's victims were women in vulnerable circumstances, all except two were Caucasian and most of his known victims were between the ages of 16 and 25. He also confessed to killing a young woman in 1978 or 1979 whose body is still unidentified. Her remains were located in Daytona Beach in 1980. The confession was confirmed by his accurate memory of her clothing. By his twenty-ninth birthday, Stano was in prison for allegedly murdering 41 women. He was housed with fellow serial killer Ted Bundy until the latter's execution in 1989. Execution Stano was found guilty of nine murders and received eight life sentences and one death sentence, the latter of which was carried out by electric chair on March 23, 1998, in Florida State Prison. For his final meal, Stano requested Delmonico steak, a baked potato with sour cream and bacon bits, salad with blue cheese dressing, lima beans, a half gallon of mint chocolate-chip ice cream, and 2 litres of Pepsi. Stano's final statement proclaimed innocence and directed blame for his false confessions at the lead investigator, Paul Crow. He stated: "I am innocent. I am frightened. I was threatened and I was held month after month without any real legal representation. I confessed to crimes I did not commit."
