Anthony Allen Shore (June 25, 1962 – January 18, 2018) was an American serial killer and child molester who was responsible for the murder of one woman and three girls.
He was active from 1986 to 2000, and became known as the "Tourniquet Killer" because of his use of a ligature with either a toothbrush or bamboo stick to tighten or loosen the ligature.
The instrument was similar to a twitch, a tool used by farmers to control horses.
Shore was sentenced to death in 2004, and executed by lethal injection on January 18, 2018.
He married Gina Lynn Worley in 1983; they had two daughters.
The couple later divorced and Shore was given custody of his two young daughters.
He married Amy Lynch in 1997, and divorced after Lynch accused him of abuse.
