Daniel Lewis Lee
Daniel Lewis Lee (born January 31, 1973) is an American white supremacist and convicted murderer who was sentenced to death for the 1996 murders of William Mueller and his family. Lee and his accomplice, Chevie Kehoe, murdered gun dealer William Frederick Mueller, his wife, and his 8-year-old step-daughter, in Arkansas, on January 11, 1996.
Kehoe was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for the Mueller murders. Lee was also convicted for his role in the murders, and was sentenced to death by the United States federal government, in spite of pleas for clemency from the Muellers' family members. Lee was scheduled to be executed on July 13, 2020, but on that date, a U.S. district judge blocked the execution, citing unresolved legal issues. If executed, he will become the first person to be executed by the Federal Government in 17 years.
Lee was born on January 31, 1973, in Yukon, Oklahoma. He was reportedly abused and neglected as a child. On July 24, 1990, in Oklahoma City, then 17-year-old Lee got into an altercation with another man, Joseph “Joey” Wavra III, at a party. Lee struck Wavra in the face and kicked him on the floor once he'd collapsed. He then assisted his cousin, John David Patton, in moving Wavra to a sewer tunnel. Lee took items from Wavra and handed Patton a knife which Patton used to kill him. Lee then assisted in disposing of Wavra's clothes. On December 2, 1990, Lee pleaded guilty to robbery, whereupon the murder charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment for his involvement in the crime, while Patton was sentenced to life without parole.
Lee met white supremacist Chevie Kehoe in 1995, and was recruited into a group called the APR. The APR was a white supremacist organization known as the Aryan Peoples' Republic or the Aryan Peoples' Resistance. Kehoe formed the APR to establish an independent nation of white members of the Christian Identity faith. On May 3, 1995, Lee was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and was sentenced to six months probation
