Octogenarian Inmate Dies on Florida's Death Row

BRADFORD COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 22 – Robert Peede was convicted in 1984 for fatally stabbing his estranged wife near Orlando and died at age 81 after more than 40 years on Florida's death row, officials said.

  • Robert Peede, who had spent more than 40 years on Florida’s death row for the murder of his estranged wife, passed away at the age of 81 at a prison facility in Starke.
  • Peede's conviction stemmed from the March 31, 1983 stabbing of Darla Peede near Orlando after he drove from Hillsboro, North Carolina to Florida to make her return home with him.
  • Authorities took Peede into custody at his Hillsboro residence, where Darla’s car was parked outside with the interior covered in heavy bloodstains; her remains were subsequently discovered in a wooded region of Camden County, Georgia.
  • Peede admitted to the killing in a written statement submitted to the court, expressing his wish for the death penalty to be imposed promptly, and received a death sentence on March 4, 1984.
  • Robert Peede became the seventh person on death row to pass away while awaiting execution this year, during a period marked by an increase in executions, with 26 carried out nationwide so far.
