    Why in heaven's name does Zink have another appeal at the 8th COA?

    Execution Date Set for David Zink

    The man convicted of the 2001 kidnapping, rape and murder of Amanda Morton of Strafford, is now scheduled to be executed in July.

    The Missouri Supreme Court today issued the execution order.

    Zink was found guilty by a jury after a trial in September 2004. He has been appealing his death sentence since the conviction.

    In March, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Zink's latest appeal.

    Amanda Morton vanished after her car was rear-ended at the off-ramp of I-44 and Highway 125 in Strafford as she was on her way home. Her car was found abandoned and still running.

    When police asked for the public's help to find her, a motel clerk near Camdenton recognized her photo and called authorities to report Morton and Zink had checked into a room earlier that day.

    Investigators used the motel registration to track down Zink at his home in St. Clair County. Zink ultimately confessed to Morton's abduction and murder and led authorities to a nearby cemetery where he had buried her body.

    Wednesday's warrant of execution calls for Zink to be put to death at Missouri's Bonne Terre prison at some point during a 24 hour period, starting at 6:00 pm, July 14, 2015.

    Chilling videotaped confession of a killer on death row

    STRAFFORD, MO (KTVI) – Missouri death row inmate, David Zink is scheduled to die in July. His victim was from Strafford, Missouri, near Springfield.

    In an exclusive look at the killer`s videotaped confession. David Zink recounts he was drinking and driving, on parole and didn`t want to go back to prison. That`s why David Zink says he killed 19-year-old Amanda Morton.

    He gave investigators a videotaped confession shortly after the murder. Zink says he feared going back to prison; he was on parole when he bumped into Amanda Morton’s car on interstate 44.

    He kidnapped her, raped her, and took her to a cemetery where he tied her to a tree and broke her neck and then cut her spinal cord.

    Before Amanda Morton died, Zink said her last word was momma.

    Zink is scheduled to be executed July 14th.

    I totally agree with you dirtnapper. No way could a stay be issued. His confession, and all the other evidence leaves no doubt. This one deserves not one minute more to live.

    Just made hotel reservations to attend the festivities. Can't wait. After reliving the day that confession video was shown in court we wondered if he is still laughing when he talks about killing Amanda. I hope he's having some sleepless nights.

    Demor I hope and pray that for you relief is found as you see justice carried out. Demor you have lived with this pain for so long knowing that each day his sentence was not carried out that he had more life then your precious daughter. Well now You and Amanda will have the last laugh as he lays on that gurney with fear in his eyes like the fear Amanda had and as he takes his last breath he will ultimately not go to the place Amanda surely is but will always be beneath her.

    Thank you Trudie. 23 days and counting. We do have a new reason for some happiness in our lives. Amanda's little sister gave birth to our first grandchild two weeks ago. I am so happy to finally have one. He's a beautiful little guy.
