Lucious Boyd

Forty-two year old Lucious Boyd  is accused of abducting, raping and stabbing 21-year-old Dawnia D'Acosta to death after her car ran out of gas after a prayer meeting on December 5 1998. Her body was later discovered by a dumpster.

Autopsy reports show Dacosta was stabbed 36 times in the chest. But the injury that killed her was a stab wound that went through her skull. An autopsy report shows that markings on Dacosta's body matched the type of screwdriver and saw that were missing from the van, according to court documents. And her body was wrapped in a laundry bag that looked like one missing from the van. Bite marks on Dacosta's body were matched with impressions from Boyd's teeth.

Boyd  is also a suspect in the disappearance of the daughter of a BSO sergeant and the murder of a Palm Beach prostitute,

On January 30, a circuit jury found Boyd guilty after about 8-1/2 hours over two days of deliberations.

Boyd will be sentenced at a hearing on February 11, 2002.
