Missouri Supreme Court denies appeal in Hailey Owens murder case

The Missouri Supreme Court denied the appeal of Craig Wood, who was sentenced to death for kidnapping, raping, and murdering 10-year-old Hailey Owens in 2014. The court's ruling, released on Tuesday, upheld Wood's death sentence after a jury could not agree on his punishment in 2018. The case led to legislative changes, including Hailey’s Law, which streamlined the alert process for missing child cases.
