WASHINGTON D.C. — A man convicted in the kidnapping, r*p* and
murder of a Kansas City, Kansas 10-year-old has been scheduled
for federal execution later this summer.
Keith Nelson was found guilty of kidnapping 10-year-old Pamela
Butler, who was taken while rollerblading in front of her home
in KCK. Her mother, Cherri West, said her daughter saw it
happen, screamed and chased Nelson’s car down the street. A
witness got Nelson’s license plate, but he managed to get away.
He was arrested on the banks of the Kansas River two days after
her disappearance.
Pamela’s body was found later in a wooded area in Grain Valley,
Missouri. The U.S. Department of Justice states Nelson raped her
and then strangled her with a wire.
“On October 25, 2001, Nelson pled guilty in the U.S. District
Court for the Western District of Missouri to the kidnapping and
unlawful interstate transportation of a child for the purpose of
sexual abuse which resulted in death, and he was sentenced to
death,” the U.S. Department of Justice stated in a news release.
Nelson tried arguing that his attorney had provided ineffective
assistance in 2018, but the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
rejected that appeal.
“Each of these inmates has exhausted appellate and
post-conviction remedies, and no legal impediments prevent their
executions, which will take place at U.S. Penitentiary Terre
Haute, Indiana,” according to the news release.
Nelson’s case is just one of four cases scheduled for execution
by lethal injection. Attorney General William Barr on Monday
directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to schedule the
executions of the federal inmates, all convicted of murdering
children.
Nelson’s execution is scheduled for August 28, 2020.
