Biography of Philip Carl Jablonski

Philip Carl Jablonski, an American serial killer, was convicted of murdering five women in California and Utah between 1978 and 1991. He was born on January 3, 1946. Jablonski grew up in a household where his alcoholic father would physically abuse and sexually assault his sisters and mother. When he was 16 years old, he attacked his 14-year-old sister, tying a rope around her neck and throwing her onto a bed. He was in a state of sexual arousal, and his sister believed he was going to rape her. However, Jablonski suddenly stopped and burst into tears. When his sister told their parents about the incident, his father beat him.

Jablonski met his first wife, Alice McGowan, in school. After completing his education, he joined the armed forces and was deployed overseas. In 1968, Jablonski returned to the United States and married McGowan. They lived together in Texas, where he sexually abused her and once nearly killed her during a sexual act by attempting to suffocate her with a pillow. After this incident, he continued to practice choking her, stopping only when McGowan lost consciousness.

In November 1968, Jablonski met Jane Sanders after McGowan left him. On their first date, he raped Sanders, but she chose to remain silent and not report it to the police. She became pregnant, and they moved to California in July 1969 after Jablonski was no longer in the military. One day, during a sexual encounter, Sanders wanted to stop, and her psychopathic lover pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot her if she didn't continue. He struck her with the gun's handle, and Sanders lost consciousness. When she regained consciousness, Jablonski raped her. She left him in 1972.

Jablonski was charged with the murder of 38-year-old Fathyma Vann on April 22, 1991, in Indio, California. Vann, a recently widowed single mother of two teenage girls, was a student at a local college where Jablonski worked as part of his parole program. Her body was found in a shallow ditch in the desert, naked, raped, and with a gunshot wound to the head. The phrase "I love Jesus" was carved on her back, and her body was grotesquely mutilated, including the removal of her ears and eyes.

In 1982, Jablonski met Carol Spadoni, who responded to his newspaper ad while he was incarcerated for the murder of his first wife, Alice McGowan, in 1978 in Palm Springs, California. Spadoni married Jablonski in the same year they met. On April 23, 1991, the day after the murder of Fathyma Vann, Jablonski killed his 46-year-old wife, Carol Spadoni, and her 72-year-old mother, Eva Peterson, in their Burlingame home. He shot his wife, started to strangle her with sticky tape, and then stabbed her. He also raped and shot Peterson.

On April 27, 1991, he robbed and murdered 58-year-old Margie Rogers in Grand County, Utah. The next day, Jablonski was apprehended in Kansas. He pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to death. In January 2006, Jablonski filed an appeal, which was ultimately unsuccessful, and his death sentence remained in place. He spends his time on death row primarily responding to the dozens of letters he receives monthly. Jablonski has shown no remorse for his crimes and instead, often boasts to his pen pals about how he mutilated his victims.
