Get DirectionsWhy It's a "Must-Go"
The "Casanova Killer" was shot by an FBI agent while trying to escape custody. He's buried in Orange Park, Florida. For a man who thought he was irresistible, he ended up in a very resistible hole in the ground.
His grave is a standard plot. It's a good place to remind yourself that charm only gets you so far, especially when you're a murderer. 0/10 would not date.
The "Experience"
Humid. It's Florida. The only thing hot about this Casanova now is the temperature. It's a quiet spot to reflect on the banality of evil.
