Show Notes
On Jan. 29, 1999, a family friend entered the Reed family's Manassas, Virginia home where he killed 16-year-old Stacie Reed and then raped, stabbed, and choked 14-year-old Kristie Reed, leaving her for dead. Clinging to life, Kristie is about to mouth the name of her killer to police...Paul Warner Powell.
Powell is arrested just hours later. Powell is eventually found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for Stacie's murder.
From prison, Paul Powell writes profane, taunting letters to the family and prosecutor, boasting about the crime...believing he couldn't be re-tried due to the double jeopardy clause. Powell's letters are enough to charge him with capital murder, where a jury again finds him guilty. This time, he's given the death penalty and executed by electric chair in 2010.
