Execution Tonight At Bonne Terre Prison

(Bonne Terre) Governor Mike Parson confirms that the State of Missouri will carry out the execution of Carman Deck today.

In 1996, Deck killed James and Zelda Long in DeSoto, during a robbery inside the Long’s home.

The double murder in 1996 ended in capital convictions for Deck, but the death sentence has been overturned three times due to procedural issues, but reinstated.

The lethal injection is scheduled for 6:00 this evening in Bonne Terre.
