Frances Elaine Newton (née McLemore; April 12, 1965 – September 14, 2005) was an American convicted murderer who was executed by lethal injection in the state of Texas for the April 7, 1987, murders of her estranged husband, Adrian, age 23, her 7-year-old son, Alton, and her 22-month-old daughter, Farrah. Newton was just shy of her 22nd birthday when she committed the murders for which she was executed. She maintained her innocence to the end. Newton claimed that her husband was a drug addict and the murders were committed by a dealer, “Charlie,” to whom he owed money. Newton was convicted on November 17, 1987, for killing her three family members "execution style" for life insurance money. It was reported that she and her husband had marital problems and were both dating other people. Newton was later executed at age 40.
