Daniel William Marsh; California inmate AW0819, born 1997, incarceration intake in 2014 at age 17, sentenced to 52 years, parole eligible June 2037

Murder, 2 counts

Press accounts describe Marsh, who was aged 15 at the time of the murders, had an extensive history of antisocial and violent behavior. A diagnosed psychopath, Marsh had long been fantasizing about torturing and murdering people and desired to become a serial killer.  

On the night of April 13, 2013, after years of homicidal urges, Marsh “had enough” and decided to make his fantasies come true. In the early morning hours of April 14, he left his mother’s home and wandered the streets of Davis in search of a home with open windows or doors, before coming upon a residence. Marsh cut open the window screen, invaded the home and made his way to the couple’s bedroom where he found 2 people asleep. Marsh then stabbed both victims to death. The attack was severe, leaving one victim with stab wounds and the other with 67 stab wounds. After murdering the two individuals, Marsh dissected, and mutilated their bodies. The couple’s bodies were discovered the next day. 

It wouldn’t be until for a couple of months that Marsh was arrested–due to Marsh’s extensive planning of the murders, he left no DNA, fingerprints, footprints or any other evidence at the crime scene. He became a suspect after bragging to his friends about the murders.  He told investigators that the murders gave him a feeling of “pure happiness” which lingered for weeks. 

Marsh was convicted of the murders in September 2014. He was also declared sane.

In 2018 Marsh gave a “Ted Talk” that was recorded from inside the prison where he advocated for reforms in juvenile sentencing.
