BOISE, Idaho —
The last time the state of Idaho executed someone on death row was in 2012, when Richard Leavitt was put to death by lethal injection. His execution came just seven months after Paul Rhoades was executed.
With Wednesday's upcoming execution of Thomas Creech, Idaho's longest-serving death-row inmate, it comes into question who else is sentenced to death in the state and is currently being held on death row.
Excluding Creech, who was sentenced in 1983, there are seven others on Idaho's death row convicted of first-degree murder.
Who else is on Idaho's death row?
Azad Abdullah
As previously reported by the Associated Press, Azad Abdullah received the death penalty after being convicted in 2004 of first-degree murder, first-degree arson, three counts of attempted first-degree murder, and felony injury to a child.
Authorities said Abdullah in 2002 killed his wife in their Boise home and then set fire to the house with two of their children and a young friend asleep inside. Another of their children was in the backyard.
Timothy A. Dunlap
As KTVB previously reported, Timothy A. Dunlap is on death row in Idaho for the murder of an eastern Idaho bank teller, and he is also sentenced to death in Ohio for killing his girlfriend with a crossbow.
Dunlap has been on death row since April 1992.
James Hairston
James Harvey Hairston was sentenced to death in 1996 in the shooting deaths of an elderly couple in Bannock County. He was 19 at the time.
Prosecutors said William and Dalma Fuhriman, both 72, were killed during a burglary at their rural farmhouse.
Hairston has been on death row since November 1996.
Erick Hall
The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) website states Hall has been on death row since October 2004, after being convicted of raping and murdering two women in Ada County in 2000 and 2003.
Gerald Pizzuto
Pizzuto is on Idaho's death row due to being found guilty in the murders of Berta and Delbert Herndon in McCall in 1985. According to the Idaho Supreme Court, Pizzuto's accomplices testified that Pizzuto went to rob the Herndons, bound their hands, and bludgeoned them in the head with a hammer.
Pizzuto is Idaho's second-longest serving death row inmate and has been on death row since May 1986.
Jonathan Daniel Renfro
As reported by KTVB's sister station KREM 2 News, Renfro was sentenced to death for a first-degree murder charge, then also life without parole plus 19 years for other non-capital offenses. He was convicted of shooting Coeur d’Alene Police Sergeant Greg Moore.
In May 2015, Moore stopped Jonathan Renfro while walking through a Coeur d’Alene neighborhood that had become the victim of recent car burglaries. Investigators said Renfro pulled out a gun, shot Moore, took the officer’s gun and then sped off in his car.
He has been on death row since November 2017.
Robin Row
Robin Row is the only woman on Idaho's death row and has been there since December 1993.
As KTVB previously reported, on Feb. 10, 1992, Row set her Ada County home on fire. The carbon monoxide killed her husband, Randy Row, and her two children, 10-year-old Joshua and 8-year-old Tabitha.
