James Ford is scheduled to be executed for the rape and murders of Greg and Kimberly Malnory in 1997. Their 22-month-old daughter was found 18 hours later, covered in her mother's blood.
A Florida man is scheduled for execution on February 13th, 2024, after being convicted of the brutal rape and murder of a couple in 1997. James Ford, 64, will face the death penalty for the crimes committed against Greg and Kimberly Malnory, who were found slain on a remote farm in Charlotte County, Florida, where the couple was on a fishing trip. The couple's 22-month-old daughter was discovered 18 hours later, covered in her mother's blood and strapped into her car seat.
Prosecutors presented evidence at Ford's 1999 trial that depicted a horrific scene. Greg Malnory, 25, was shot and bludgeoned before Ford slit his throat almost ear-to-ear. Kimberly Malnory, 26, suffered nine blunt force injuries to her head, one penetrating her skull. Her bathing suit was found sliced open as if with a sharp knife. Ford was convicted of murder, sexual battery with a firearm, and child abuse, leading to a death sentence. Over the years, Ford has filed multiple appeals, all unsuccessful, citing ineffective counsel as grounds for a new trial. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Ford's death warrant in January 2024, paving the way for his execution. This case has deeply shaken the community, highlighting the horrific brutality of the crimes and the lasting impact on the young child who witnessed the unimaginable.
