SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Becky O'Connell left her South Dakota home on the simplest of errands: to go to the store for sugar so she could make lemonade.
When the 9-year-old didn't return, panic gripped Sioux Falls, prompting parents to round up their children and keep them indoors. But within hours, the mystery was solved — with a gruesome outcome.
Becky had been kidnapped, raped and stabbed to death, left to die on an earthen berm near the Big Sioux River that rainy night in May 1990.
Becky's killer, 60-year-old Donald Moeller, is set to die by lethal injection Tuesday night at the South Dakota State Penitentiary.
Her mother, Tina Curl, has been steadfast in her wish to watch him die, raising funds to cover the expenses to make the 1,400-mile trip from her home in New York state to return to Sioux Falls for the execution.

#@#@ SOB. I pray he screams forever in the fires of Hell.
Hope Santa enjoys his eternity in hell.
A rare pleasure indeed.
Why did it take 14 years to execute this monster.
He should have been dead 6 months after his sentence.
Who could be so sick or wicked as to grab a random little girl and misuse her and then kill her as casually as he’d kill a varmint. Lots of bikers, truckers, hunters, that kind of guy sport beards like that, and it doesn’t usually mean anything evil. This was evil, inhuman.
I don’t imagine his years in jail have been a picnic but you are right, it shouldn’t have taken so long.
Exactly, and why did the taxpayers foot the bill?
I have a beard and I ride a bike, but I could never be as evil as this POS.
All the levels of appeals possible today got in there incrementally after something went wrong in another case and it was strongly shown that the authorities really did nab the wrong person. Those persons, now exonerated, frequently go around giving talks to anti death penalty advocacy groups. I see no way modern society would tolerate eliding any of the steps without some reason to believe the accuracy of the process is not lost thereby.
Paying now, buddy. I'm a Sioux Falls native. You lived around 20 years too long.
These are the type of guys California liberals want to keep alive.
They should chop his head off with an axe- a dull one at that.
’ Lots of bikers, truckers, hunters, that kind of guy sport beards like that...”
What the hell does a beard have to do with it. I have a beard. Many have beards. Abe Lincoln had a beard. That is a sick statement in the face of this piece of evil shit.
As a mom, why can’t we push the button?
