Timeline

1976

Michaiah Shobek (born 1954 as James Michael Shoffner - October 19, 1976) was an American serial killer who murdered three fellow American tourists in the Bahamas from December 1973 to January 1974. He was subsequently executed for his crimes.

1975

Shobek was eventually arrested for murdering Bernstein, but his trial was delayed, as there was a bank robbery investigation going on at the time. When it was resumed in 1975, he confessed to the other murders, claiming that they were "angels of Lucifer", and that he had murdered them by order from God. Although initially sentenced to be hanged on October 8 solely for Bernstein's murder, he was granted an indefinite stay following an appeal filed by the United States Embassy, in which it was claimed that substantial information hadn't been supplied to the court.

1973

Born James Michael Shoffner in Milwaukee, Shobek grew up with his mother Juanita Spencer, a cleaner at a Milwaukee school, without knowing his father. He caught a viral disease when he was two years old, suffering permanent brain damage from it. As an adult, he began working as a handyman, dreaming of one day becoming a songwriter. In November 1973, the then 17-year-old moved to the Bahamas to "bum around", changing his name to Michaiah Shobek.

On December 5, 1973, he murdered his first victim, 50-year-old Paul V. Howell, an attorney from Massillon, Ohio who was attending a convention. On Wednesday evening, Howell was in his hotel room, when he heard a surprising knock on his door. Immediately upon opening it, he was stabbed in the chest and throat, killed instantly. Police suspected that he may have surprised burglars, and focused on that theory, while Howell's body was sent off for preparation of funeral services in native Ohio.
