St. Louis — A Missouri man convicted of breaking into his
neighbor's home and slitting her throat 25 years ago has been executed.
Walter
Timothy Storey was put to death early Wednesday for killing 36-year-old
special education teacher Jill Frey in February 1990 in a St. Louis
suburb. It was Missouri's first execution this year after a state-record
10 in 2014.
Storey
lived in a St. Charles apartment with his mother and was drinking beer
and angry about a pending divorce. When he ran out of beer, he broke
into Frey's apartment to steal money for more beer.
Storey beat Frey and slit her throat so deeply that her spine was damaged.
Storey twice had convictions thrown out due to court errors. He was sentenced to death a third time in 1999.
