Timothy Ronk is an inmate on death row
in the state of Mississippi.
Crime
On the morning of August 26, 2008,
emergency personnel responded to reports of a house fire on Timber
Ridge Lane in Biloxi, Mississippi. In their efforts to extinguish the
flames, firefighters discovered the remains of a human body in a
bedroom of the house. Dental records would later identify the body as
thirty-seven-year-old Michelle Lynn Craite. Craite's autopsy revealed
multiple stab wounds to her back in addition to severe burns that
destroyed her flesh down to the bone. Craite had suffered blistering
and burning to the lining of her mouth, tongue, larynx, and windpipe,
and a high level of carbon monoxide was found in Craite's blood. This
evidence indicated that Craite was still alive and breathing during
the fire. Dr. Paul McGarry, a forensic pathologist, opined that the
stab wounds likely were the cause of Craite's death, as she would
have died from those wounds within “minutes” or “hours”
without medical assistance. However, he noted that the stab wounds
also incapacitated Craite so that she could not escape from the
fire.
