Eckart's killer set to die in May

NEWS staff report

For Dale and Connie Sutton of Boggstown, justice may finally come for their daughter's killer this spring.

Michael Dean Overstreet is scheduled to die on May 31 by lethal injection for the murder of the Suttons' daughter, Kelly Eckart, 18. "But I'm not holding my breath on that," said Dale Sutton, who was attending a memorial service for crime victims Sunday in Shelbyville.

If no further appeals occur, the execution should go forward, he said.

In late November, the Indiana Supreme Court upheld the death sentence for Overstreet, who was convicted in 2000 for the 1997 abduction, rape and slaying of the Franklin College student.

Eckart was abducted and murdered on Sept. 26, 1997, as she was coming home from work.
