The murders of Julie and Robin Kerry occurred on April 5, 1991, on the Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. The two sisters were raped and then murdered by a group of four males, who also attempted to murder the sisters' cousin. On December 9, 1992, Marlin A. Gray (September 29, 1967 – October 26, 2005) was convicted of aiding and abetting for being a part of the group of four men involved in the murders. He was executed on October 26, 2005, by the U.S. state of Missouri by lethal injection. He maintained his innocence to the end, saying that although he was at the bridge at the time, he was smoking cannabis in a nearby car. In his final statement, Gray decried his execution as a "lynching". In 2017, DNA evidence proved that Gray was an active participant in the crimes.
