The Messed Up Truth About The Hi-Fi Murders

Although investigators believe six men to be involved in the attack, they were only able to find evidence to convict three. The men were members of the Air Force. They found that Dale Selby Pierre, 21, and William Andrews, 20, had entered the store and attacked the victims. Both were given the death penalty for the crime. A third man, Keith Roberts, 19, was convicted of robbery, as he acted only as the getaway driver.

According to The Independent, the capital punishment in the case was controversial, as Pierre was the only one who committed the murders. Although he did take part in the torture and rape, Andrews had left the room when Pierre shot the victims. The case sparked controversy due to Utah's tendency to not execute white murderers. The execution of Pierre was carried out in 1987, and despite the controversy behind Andrews' capital sentencing, he was executed by lethal injection in 1992. Both of the surviving members have since died. Walker died in 2000, and Naisbitt died in 2002. His death was believed to have been related to the injuries he sustained in the attack.
