A man who has spent 25 years on death row has been executed in the US. Roderick Nunley (50), admitted the kidnapping, rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl in Missouri.
Ann Harrison disappeared in March 1989 in Kansas City while waiting for a school bus on her driveway. Nunley and his friend Michael Taylor who had been using cocaine at the time, abducted her in a stolen car.
The two men took Ann to Nunley’s mother’s home where the young girl was raped and stabbed to death repeatedly in the stomach and neck. Ann’s body was found in the boot of the abandoned car three days later.
Nunley and Taylor were arrested after a man in jail for a robbery turned them in. Some of Ann’s hair was found in carpet at the home where they attacked her.
Both men were sentenced to death in 1991. Taylor was executed last year.
