Summary

David Emery Misch started getting into trouble at just 16 years old and was in and out of prison in California for various crimes throughout his 20s. In 1989, he was caught and convicted for the murder of Margaret Ball. Little did investigators know, Misch had committed at least 3 other murders prior to this between jail sentences - but it took decades before he was connected to those cases with DNA evidence. In 2024, he was convicted of the double murder of Michelle Xavier and Jennifer Duey from 1986. And now, Misch is awaiting trial for the 1988 abduction and murder of Michaela Garecht.
