The same type of cord used to tie-up the goats near Chris Collings camper, allegedly ended Rowan's Ford's life.
"One of them stated because she looked up at him," Sheriff Mick Epperly of Barry County said.
Chris Collings and David Spears allegedly brought her to Collings camper. The sheriff said inside the rundown, dirty camper, the two men raped the 9-year-old.
She reportedly pleaded with them to stop. Investigators believe the two men pulled her out of the camper after they raped her, pulled a cord out of a truck and then strangled her.
"I could not tell you what went through this man's mind at that time," Epperly said, "you know, drinking and drugs and what could go through anybody's mind to sexually abuse a 9-year-old innocent girl. That's just unhuman."

KY3: Rowan Ford's last few hours
KY3 in Springfield has just posted an update on the Rowan Ford murder case:
I know Randy, very very sad. It breaks my heart when I hear these stories. I use to work at the Minnesota State hospital and worked with child molestors from time to time and they diagnosed them as "psychopaths, antisocials, or sexually dangerous person", but lets just call it what it is, they are just plain evil, straight from satan himself. I"m sick and tired of child being abused.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the rest of SW MO but I"d like for DFS to answer some very important questions, and be held accountable for any mistakes, if any, that they may have made in this case. A 9 year old showing up at the school at 6:30am is a huge red flag. It tells me that something is not right with this little girl and her family. I suspect the litle girl was being molested all along and this particular time she said she was going to tell so they killed her. I'm betting it could have been prevented, especially if DFS was involved.

Newton County Prosecutor Scott Watson is looking into the hotline calls and the Globe says Triway officials have confirmed hotlining Rowan, so hopefully, we will get to the bottom of this quickly.
