Mark Dean Schwab

Mark Dean Schwab (December 16, 1968 – July 1, 2008) was an American prisoner in the state of Florida, where he was executed for the April 18, 1991, rape and murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez, Jr., eldest son of a musician in the band "The Killer Dudes". He was convicted of the crime in 1992 and sentenced to death. In addition, he received two life sentences.

The crimes and arrest

Schwab was released from prison on March 4, 1991, after serving three years of an eight-year sentence for the aggravated rape of a 13-year-old boy committed in 1987. The rest of his sentence was commuted and he was placed on 15 years of probation.

A month later, Cocoa resident Junny Rios-Martinez, Jr., went missing. Schwab had seen Junny's picture in the March 21, 1991 edition of Florida Today. He became friendly with the boy and his family, introducing himself as an associate of Malcom Denemark from that newspaper. After getting to know Junny, Schwab exploited his interest in surfing by saying he had left Florida Today for a job at a surfing magazine. On April 18, 1991, Junny was spotted getting into a U-Haul truck.

Mark Dean (footballer)

Mark Dean (born 18 November 1964, Northwich) is an English former professional footballer who played in The Football League for Chester. He later played for hometown club Northwich Victoria in the Conference National.

Playing career

A full back, Dean was a product of Chester's youth policy and broke into the first–team ranks near the end of 1981–82 as a 17-year-old. He made his professional debut in Chester's 2–1 defeat by Brentford on 24 April 1982 and ended the season with four league outings to his name. Earlier in the season he had been part of the Chester youth side which took Sunderland to a replay in the FA Youth Cup.

The following season saw Dean make 19 league starts and appear twice as a substitute. But he was one of eight players released by manager John Sainty at the end of the season as the club halved its wage bill.

This marked the end of Dean's professional career but he then enjoyed a three-year stint with Northwich Victoria, where he made 89 league appearances. This spell also included an appearance at Wembley Stadium in the 1984 final of the FA Trophy against Bangor City, which Northwich won after a replay. After a spell with Caernarfon Town, Dean returned to Cheshire by joining Witton Albion.
