EPISODE 11

“I want to bring those brats back from their graves so I can murder them again.”

Maryland’s most notorious depraved killer, John Frederick Thanos, was the first person put to death after the resumption of capital punishment in 1994 in thirty-three years when he was executed by lethal injection in the execution room of the Maryland prison in Jessup. The story of the crime spree perpetrated on Marylanders, causing fear and disgust at his snuffing out the lives of three teenagers, rose to the peak of the tragic saga on September 4, 1990.

Maryland State Police Detective Sgt. Dallas Pope, who retired at the rank of Major in Command of the Southern Troop of the State Police in 2002 and was elected to three terms as Sheriff of Talbot County, was the lead in the investigation that centered around Salisbury, Maryland, as Thanos was captured on September 4, 1990, in a hail of bullets after he fled from Maryland into Delaware.

During the last few days of August and the first week of September, people locked their doors and windows and turned on extra lights at night.

In 1971, John Frederick Thanos of Dundalk, Md., was convicted of a rape he had committed two years earlier and sentenced to prison in Maryland.

On April 5, 1990, John Frederick Thanos was mistakenly released 18 months early from the Maryland Eastern Correctional Prison at Westover, Maryland, located in Somerset County. He was serving a seven-year sentence for the 1986 robbery of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Harford County, Maryland. Thanos began living in the Hotel Ester on Church Street in Salisbury, Md.

On August 29, 1990, Thanos was working as a chicken processor in a Perdue Chicken Company plant in Salisbury, Maryland, and bought a .22-caliber rifle at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Salisbury, which he sawed off the barrel and stock and to conceal the gun in a doctor’s bag. The same day, Thanos robbed and kidnapped Milton Marsey, a cab driver from Delmar, Md., in Salisbury, and left him in the trunk of his taxi on Liberty Street in Salisbury. The gun had a 15-shot magazine, and with the barrel and stock shortened, it could be held in one hand.
