Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Elmer Kleason (1934 - April 21, 2003) was an American who was convicted and sentenced to death in 1975 for the murder of two missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon or LDS Church) in the area known as Oak Hill, on the southern outskirts of Austin, Texas in October 1974. However, after two years on Texas' death row, an appeals court overturned Kleason's conviction, ruling that the search of his home was illegal and that key evidence had to be excluded. The police investigation led to the scenario that the missionaries Gary Darley (20) and Mark Fischer (19) were shot dead after having agreed to meet Kleason for dinner.
