A Missouri man, Christopher Collings, is set to be executed on Tuesday evening for the 2007 murder of 9-year-old Rowan Ford. Collings, 49, is scheduled to receive a single injection of the sedative pentobarbital at 6 p.m. CST for sexually assaulting and strangling the young girl.
The tragic incident took place in the small town of Stella, Missouri, where Rowan was assaulted and strangled with a length of rope on November 3, 2007. Her body was later discovered in a sinkhole outside of town, six days after the heinous crime.
