Editing Danny Rolling (section)

=== August 24, 1990 ===
In the early morning hours, Rolling broke into the apartment shared by two university freshmen, 18-year-old Sonja Larson and 17-year-old Christina Powell. Finding Powell asleep on the downstairs couch, he stood over her briefly but did not wake her up, choosing instead to go to the upstairs bedroom where Larson was also asleep. Rolling murdered Larson, first taping her mouth shut to stifle her screams, and then stabbing her to death with a [[Ka-Bar]] knife. She died trying to fend him off.<ref name="695 So. 2d 278">''Rolling v. State'', 695 So. 2d 278.</ref>

Rolling then went back downstairs, taped Powell's mouth shut, bound her wrists together behind her back and threatened her with the knife as he cut her clothes off. He then [[rape]]d her and forced her face-down onto the floor, where he killed her by stabbing her five times in the back. After killing Powell, Rolling went back upstairs and [[Necrophilia|raped Larson's corpse]].<ref name=Aamodt>{{cite web|title=Danny Rolling – Radford University |url=http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Rolling,%20Danny%20-%202004.pdf|author= Mike Aamodt |access-date=April 6, 2024}}</ref> He posed the bodies in sexually provocative positions and took a shower before leaving the apartment.<ref name="695 So. 2d 278"/>
