in the state of Arizona. He was convicted on 08/13/1990.
Crime
According to the DOC, Michael Apelt
and his brother, Rudi, came to Arizona from West Germany and began
"courting" numerous women. Michael eventually met Cynthia
Monkman and married her in October 1988. One month later, Michael
applied for $400,000 in life insurance on Cynthia. The policies
became effective on December 22, 1988. On the night of December 23,
Michael and Rudi took Cynthia into the desert near Apache Junction
and killed her by stabbing her numerous times in the chest and back
and cutting her throat. Michael and Rudi returned to Mesa and, in the
early morning hours of December 24, Michael called the police and
reported that Cynthia had disappeared. A citizen found the body in
the desert later that day. Rudi Apelt was tried separately and was
convicted of first degree murder, and sentenced to death.
