Florida jury recommends death penalty for Joseph Zieler in case of 1990 double homicide
Fox News
A Florida jury recommended Joseph Zieler be put to death on Wednesday night for the double homicide of 11-year-old Robin Cornell and 32-year-old Lisa Story in May 1990.
On May 10, 1990, Jan Cornell, Robin's mother, found her 11-year-old daughter and roommate Story dead in their Cape Coral, Florida home. In the subsequent investigation, police found that the two girls were sexually assaulted and that several items were stolen from the home.

The case went cold for 26 years until Zieler was arrested on unrelated battery charges and DNA evidence led police to connect him with the 1990 slayings.
