Roy Ward is on death row in the state
of Indiana. They were born 07/01/72 and entered death row on
12/18/02.
Crime
15-year old Stacy Payne and her 14-year old sister, Melissa, were home
alone in their rural Dale, Indiana home when Ward entered and attacked
Stacy with a knife. Melissa had taken a nap upstairs and was awakened by
Stacy's screams. From the top of the stairs Melissa saw Ward on top of
Stacy. She called 9-1-1 and heard Stacy pleading, “Stop!,” while Ward
said, You better be quiet.” Ward was still at the scene, covered with
blood and pocket knife in hand, when police arrived. Stacy Payne's torso
was nearly sliced in two, her throat was cut to her windpipe and her
wrist was slashed to the bone. She was nevertheless alive for a short
time. Vaginal bruising and Stacy's DNA on Ward's genitals supported the
Rape and Criminal Deviate Conduct charges. Ward was on probation for a
Burglary in Missouri at the time of the crime and had a dozen prior
convictions for Public Indecency/Indecent Exposure.
