Between 1973 and 1983, he was charged six times with sex crime.
He was sentenced to death by four states. This was a United States record.
On July 12, Tonnie Storey, a 15-year-old girl who lived in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, disappeared; her body was discovered eight days later. A bracelet that had been stolen from the Temples was found under Storey’s body. On the day of Storey’s disappearance, the FBI added Coleman to its Ten Most Wanted List as a “special addition”. Coleman was just the tenth person since the initiation of the list in 1950 to merit inclusion in such a manner.
Coleman and Brown committed their first murder when they killed 9-year-old Vernita Wheat from Kenosha, Wisconsin. After Coleman had befriended her mother, Juanita Wheat, he abducted Vernita and took her to Waukegan on May 29, 1984. Vernita’s badly decomposed corpse was discovered on June 19 in an abandoned building four blocks from Coleman’s grandmother’s apartment. It was determined she had been raped, and the cause of death was ligature strangulation.
The state of Ohio convicted Coleman and Brown, finding them guilty of the rape and murder of Tonnie Storey in Cincinnati and Marlene Walters in Norwood, but not for the murders of Virginia and Rachelle Temple in Toledo. Coleman and Brown were both sentenced to death. Coleman’s case was sent to the U.S. Supreme Court several times between 1985 and 2002, but his numerous arguments that his conviction and death sentence were unconstitutional failed to sway the justices. However, Coleman’s death sentence in relation to the Storey killing was overturned in a separate proceeding. Despite this, Coleman’s death sentence in relation to the Walters murder remained upheld. In addition to the death sentences, Coleman and Brown were each sentenced to twenty years in prison for transporting their kidnapping victim Oline Carmical across a state line.
