Death penalty sought for man accused of Cape cold case murders


The state attorney’s office will seek the death penalty against Joseph Zieler, 
the man accused of murdering Lisa Story and Robin Cornell in Cape Coral in 
1990.

Detectives arrested Zieler in September after getting a DNA hit on the 
32-year-old case.

Story was babysitting 11-year-old Cornell when they were brutally murdered in 
their Cape Coral apartment. Both women were suffocated and sexually assaulted.

The grand jury indicted Zieler for two counts of first-degree murder
