Early Life

Born on July 4, 1963, in New London, Connecticut, Fautenberry had a troubled childhood. His father abandoned the family when he was just two years old, and his mother remarried multiple times. Fautenberry struggled with rejection and abuse, which contributed to his later criminal behavior.
