David Russ
David Russ is a white man who has been on death row in the state of Florida since 05/13/09.

Crime

He was convicted of Premeditated 1st Degree Murder, committed on 05/07/07.
Officer Tollas knocked on the darkly tinted window of the jeep and the Defendant responded saying he was “okay.” When Officer Tollas asked him to roll down the window, the Defendant started the jeep and drove away at a high rate of speed. Officer Tollas pursued the jeep and caught up with it in the Meadows West subdivision. He observed the vehicle, which was traveling at 5–10 mph, come to an abrupt stop. No one was found in the vehicle, and the defendant was not located after a search of the area was conducted. The jeep was abandoned about one block from the victim Madeleine Leinen's home ․ in Longwood.
After fleeing on foot, David Russ spent the night on the rooftop of a house adjacent to the victim's. Early the next morning, he observed Madeleine Leinen leave for work. It was at that precise moment she was selected as his victim.

Madeleine Leinen returned to her home shortly after 6:00 p.m. after stopping as Sam's Club in Casselberry. At Sam's Club, the victim purchased both perishable and nonperishable items. A Sam's Club receipt detailing the items purchased and noting a checkout time of May 7, 2007, at 5:35 p.m. was on the kitchen counter. Frozen shrimp which were purchased were placed in the freezer and other items purchased were found on a box in the garage and on the kitchen counter.

After killing the victim, the defendant took her Toyota Camry and drove straight to the Fairwinds Credit Union in Apopka. There he attempted unsuccessfully to withdraw money from her account at an automatic teller machine. His efforts were captured by a video surveillance camera. The defendant then left Florida heading towards Texas.

Early on the morning of May 8, 2007, the victim's lifeless body was found facedown on the floor in her hall bathroom by a friend. The victim's hands and feet were tightly bound with rope and a rope ligature was around her neck.
