OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma man has been executed for killing a 10-year-old girl in a cannibalistic fantasy. Forty-five-year-old Kevin Ray Underwood was pronounced dead at 10:14 a.m. Thursday at the State Penitentiary in McAlester. It was the 25th and final U.S. execution of 2024. Underwood killed Jamie Rose Bolin in 2006. He admitted to luring Jamie into his apartment and beating her over the head with a cutting board before suffocating her to death. Underwood told investigators he nearly beheaded the girl in his bathtub before abandoning his plans to eat her.
