Victor Harry Feguer (1935 March 15, 1963) was a convicted murderer and the last federal inmate executed in the United States before the moratorium on the death penalty following Furman v. Georgia, and the last person put to death in the state of Iowa. While at the time the news media paid little attention to Victor Feguer or his execution, Timothy McVeigh''s execution sparked renewed media interest in Feguer. Feguer was a drifter, native to the state of Michigan. In the summer of 1960, Feguer arrived in Dubuque, Iowa, renting a room at a decrepit boarding house. Soon after arriving, Feguer phoned Doctor Edward Bartels, claiming that a woman needed medical attention. When Dr. Bartels arrived, Feguer kidnapped him. Feguer killed Bartels in Illinois with a single gunshot to the head. A few days later, Feguer was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, after tryingto sell Dr. Bartels'' car. It is believed that Feguer had chosen Dr. Bartels, a 34 year-old father of two, at random from the local Yellow Pages.
