- The rapes and murders of Julie and Robin Kerry occurred on April 5, 1991, on the Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. The two sisters were raped and then murdered by a group of four males, who also attempted to murder the sisters' cousin. Marlin A. Gray (September 29, 1967 – October 26, 2005) was convicted of aiding and abetting and was executed by the U.S. state of Missouri by lethal injection. His conviction was for being a part of the group of four men involved in the murders. Gray continued to protest his innocence saying that although he was at the bridge at the time, he was smoking cannabis in a nearby car. On December 9, 1992, Gray was convicted of aiding and abetting and was executed on October 26, 2005. He maintained his innocence to the end. In 2017, DNA evidence proved he was an active participant in the crimes. (en)
