== ''Chandler v. Wackenhut Corporations'' ==
In 1979 employees of Wackenhut Corporations gang-raped and murdered Janet Chandler. Her body was found in a snowbank near the time of her death but her accusers were not found until three decades later when a student documentary on Janet Chandler prompted the police to re-open the case. Eventually, the police showed this to Robert Lynch who confessed to being a participant and named his co-conspirators.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-07-02 |title=Gang Rape, Murder and Justice in a Small Town |url=https://www.glamour.com/story/janet-chandler |access-date=2023-09-10 |website=Glamour |language=en-US}}</ref>

Wackenhut Corporations obtained a security contract in Holland, Michigan in the fall of 1978, and approximately seventy of defendant's out-of-town security guards took up temporary residence at the Blue Mill Inn where plaintiff's daughter, Janet Chandler, worked as the overnight front desk clerk. Plaintiff alleges that some of the guards and motel staff had sexual relationships with each other, relationships that "bred jealousy and anger, much of it directed at Janet Chandler," for reasons not clear from the pleadings. Plaintiff alleges that several of the guards and motel employees conspired to "teach Janet Chandler a lesson" by beating, sexually assaulting, and killing her). They acted on their plans sometime after midnight on January 31, 1979. The conspirators did not discuss the crimes over the years.

Following the February 7, 2006 arrest of Wackenhut employee Robert Lynch, six people were charged with first-degree murder arising from Janet Chandler's death, five of whom were Wackenhut employees in 1979. Two persons pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and were sentenced to terms of years in prison. The other four persons were convicted by a jury of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chandler v.

In 2010 the parents of Janet Chandler contended that Wackenhut did not thoroughly check the employees' backgrounds and then failed to properly supervise them, ignoring problems that arose with the workers.

The suit also alleged that the company helped conceal the involvement of their employees, who swore to a vow of secrecy, according to testimony in a 2007 trial.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Reens |first=Nate |date=2010-01-20 |title=Janet Chandler parents fail in bid to convince judge that Wackenhut Corp. partly responsible for daughter's rape, murder |url=https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2010/01/janet_chandler_murder_trial_wa.html |access-date=2023-09-10 |website=mlive |language=en}}</ref>
