A Texas man known as the "Desert Serial Killer" is set to be executed by lethal injection on March 13, despite his prolonged insistence that he is innocent and multiple appeals.
David Leonard Wood, 67, was convicted in a string of disappearances and murders of young women in 1987. The crimes were tied to Wood after he was convicted of a rape around the same time and "bragged to a cell mate that he was the 'Desert Killer,'" prosecutors stated in a court filing.
