Huntsville (Texas) ∙ In the case of strangling his pregnant girlfriend and her son, Barbie was executed on Wednesday, November 16, in the Huntsville prison.
Stephen Barbee, 55, strangled and suffocated his wife Lisa Underwood, 34, and son Jayden, 7, in their Fort Worth home in February 2005. Lisa was seven months pregnant at the time of the murder. He was killed so that his wife would not know this information.
She and her son went missing on the day of Underwood’s baby shower. They were later found hiding in Shallow Grove, Dunton County. Barbie confessed to the crime. He declared his faith in God and looked at his family members who were standing outside before the execution was carried out. The poison was administered at 7.35 pm and death was confirmed after 26 minutes. After long legal battles, the Supreme Court also rejected the demand to avoid the death penalty.
