Oklahoma is preparing to execute Kevin Ray Underwood, who killed a 10-year-old girl in 2006 as part of a cannibalistic fantasy. Underwood is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Thursday, his 45th birthday, at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Underwood lured Jamie Rose Bolin into his apartment and beat her over the head with a cutting board before suffocating and sexually assaulting her.
He told investigators that he nearly beheaded the girl in his bathtub before abandoning his plans to eat her. Underwood admitted to his crimes and apologized to the victim's family during a hearing last week before the state’s Pardon and Parole Board, but the board voted against recommending clemency.
