A man who spent nearly 25 years on Missouri’s death
row was executed September 1, 2015 for the kidnapping, rape and stabbing death of a
15-year-old Kansas City girl.
Roderick Nunley, 50, became the sixth inmate to be
put to death in Missouri this year. During the execution, his breathing became
labored for a few seconds. He briefly opened his mouth before becoming still.
He was pronounced dead at 9:09 p.m.
“Despite openly admitting his guilt to the court, it
has taken 25 years to get him to the execution chamber,” Missouri Attorney
General Chris Koster said in a statement. “Nunley’s case offers a textbook
example showing why society is so frustrated with a system that has become too
cumbersome.”
Ann Harrison’s disappearance and death haunted the Kansas City area in
March 1989. She was waiting for a school bus on her driveway, 20 yards from her
front door, when Nunley and Michael Taylor drove by in a stolen car and made
the spur-of-the-moment decision to abduct her.
Her body was found in the trunk of the abandoned car
three days later.
Both men were sentenced to death in 1991. Taylor was
executed last year.
