Death row inmate shared hidden three-word message to family in chilling final statement

A person’s last words before dying can be disturbing in nature, but those of those on death row are often particularly frightening.

Some of them choose to protest their innocence while others apologize to the victims and their families.

And many choose to use their final moments to send love to their family before they pass away.

But a death row inmate’s message to his family has left many people rather confused. However, it was only intended for one person.

In 1991, Robert Charles Towery was sentenced to death after killing 68-year-old Mark Jones while burglarizing his home.

The frightening thing is that the victim knew her murderer, having previously hired him as a mechanic and having lent him money.

On the day of the crime, Towery and his accomplice, Randy Barker, went to Jones’ house and claimed their car had broken down and they needed to use his phone.

Once inside the house, they handcuffed him and robbed him at gunpoint, taking money, jewelry and other valuables.

Towery then injected the 68-year-old with battery acid and strangled him to death with plastic zip ties.

Jones’ body was found the next day and the two men were arrested while trying to dump his car.

Barker was released from prison in 2001 after testifying against his accomplice and accepting a plea deal, but Towery was sentenced to death for his crimes.

He was executed by lethal injection on March 8, 2012, at the age of 47.

In his last words before dying, he apologized to his victim’s family, then sent a “secret message” to his family.

He said: “I would like to apologize to Mark’s family and friends for what I did to them. I would like to apologize to my family.

“So many times in my life I went left when I should have gone right and I went right when I should have gone left. It was mistake after mistake.

” I love my family. Potato, potato, potato. »

These words may seem strange, but Towery’s lawyer, Dale Baich, has since revealed that it was actually a message to his nephew.

Apparently the sound you make when you say “potato” is similar to the sound a motorcycle engine makes.

According to the Arizona Mirror, both men were “Harley Davidson enthusiasts” and Towery used those words to tell his nephew that “everything was fine.”
