Michael Dean OverstreetMichael Dean Overstreet is on death row in the state of
Indiana. He was  born 11/66 and arrived ondeath row on 07/31/00.

Crime

Kelly Eckart was an 18 year old freshman attending Franklin College, working her way through school with a part-time job at Walmart. On September 27, 1997 she left work, met briefly with her boyfriend and drove towards her home in Shelby County. That was the last time she was seen alive. The next morning, her car was found abandoned in a rural area, with its lights on and keys in the ignition. Four days later, the partially nude body of Kelly Eckart was found in a ravine in Brown County. She had been strangled with her own shoe string and a strap cut from the suspenders of her overalls. She had also been shot once in the forehead. Semen was discovered on the victim which was later matched through DNA analysis as
having been contributed by Overstreet. The defendant’s brother first contacted the police and admitted that the defendant called him on the 27th, he had met him at a hotel, drove his van, and transported him and a girl to a remote wooded area where he dropped them off. The Defendant returned later and moved the body to Brown County. Fibers found on the victim’s body matched those from the defendant’s van, which he had spent several hours cleaning before the victim’s body was found. An eyewitness identified the defendant near the dump site on the day the body was recovered.

    1. show him the respect he gave to kelly that night and terminate this subhuman garbage.again the victim is forgotten and it becomes about excuses for the life the murderer had experienced up to doing the crime.he wasted a beautiful life and we should waste his pronto.bleeding hearts and hypocritical lawyers run the show and murderers rely on it.no fairness for the victim or families ,they just get process and system failure then forgotten.i saw this case on a tv show in australia and boy we need the death penalty strictly enforced.alas we dont have it here

  2. His appeal was denied more than a decade ago and another appeal filed also more than a decade ago. Why is this still pending. This means that tax payers have been paying his room and board and all legal fees for more than 20 years. You wonder why the people hate the legal system. This is a perfect example.

    1. The death penalty is not good for the families - so many appeals and what not. If they are locked up for life without, that's it it's over save for maybe an appeal. The man who murdered my niece must serve 28 years before he can be paroled. We will likely all be died by that time.

    2. The death penalty is perfect and cheap - the cost of drugs is under $100
      The problem is they get too many appeals.
      Give them one or two appeals (maximum two years) and execute them
      Don't drag it on and on for decades
      Letting them rot for life is not good - the cost of food, accommodations, guards, electricity, health care, it all adds up!

    4. My sister was murdered in North Carolina and tossed in the woods like a piece of garbage. He ended up only getting 13 years on plea deal and we the family wanted it to go to trial to get max time and states attorney or DA can make that decision without your agreement. So if you say you want it to go to trial it doesn’t matter they have the final say. It’s all about taking care of the person who committed the crime not the families as they would like you to believe. Look up Celeste Fowler found dead in North Carolina and you can see story. Still haunts me to this day. I believe in karma though and he will get what’s coming. His name is Thillbert Wayne Hager piece of garbage

  3. When DNA is used, they shouldn’t get any appeals. When it’s not, they should get three years to use three appeals and then carry through the execution. The electric chair needs to be brought back. Who fears getting put to sleep?

    1. According to this article, https://prodeathpenalty.com/case/michael-overstreet
      The brother immediately came forward, so likely he was treated as a witness instead of an accused? He may not have known this was a crime at the time it all happened?

  10. Why is it that everyone preaches about rights, yet the accused always get more rights than the victim or their families. This sick sob has been sitting on death row for 20 years? Death sentence should mean death. Not well keep you comfy until its convenient for us to execute you and gain some publicity out of it!!! Seems ALWAYS ALWAYS the victims family comes last! M6 heart goes out to her mother!!!

  11. Why does it take so long for the accused in the USA to be executed?

    When we had the death penalty in the UK the accused was hanged within two weeks.
