Missouri executes a man for sexually assaulting and strangling a 9-year-old girl in 2007
SUMMARY: Tonight, Missouri executed Chris Collings for the 2007 rape and murder of 9-year-old Rowan Ford, a case that drew national attention. Collings, 49, was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:10 PM. He confessed to kidnapping, assaulting, and strangling Rowan. Controversially, her stepfather, David Spears, who reportedly admitted his involvement and led authorities to her body, received lesser charges and was released in 2015. While some law enforcement officials support the execution, organizations condemning the death penalty argue that it does not bring healing to Rowan’s family. Collings’ execution marks Missouri’s fourth of the year.
