Danielle Keener MacGuire & Daniel Zapp: William Babner’s victims

By Therese Lisieux on February 22nd, 2009



Danielle Keener MacGuire and Daniel “Dan” Zapp were 18 on Jan 8, 2000, when they were kidnapped by William Babner. MacGuire and Zapp were walking along Susquehanna River in Goldsboro when they were abducted. MacGuire and Zapp’s story was made into a film called “River’s Edge”.

William Babner packed the teens in his car and drove some miles down Susquehanna River. Babner raped MacGuire several times. Babner shot and wounded MacGuire and Zapp before dumping their bodies into the River. He thought the teens would die in the River.

Susquehanna had a current then, which swept MacGuire and Zapp down where 3 men found them and rescued them. Police found Babner and arrested him. Babner was convicted. In Aug 2000, Babner was sentenced to 117 – 235 years in prison.
