A death row inmate’s chilling video confession

Missouri death row inmate David Zink is scheduled to die in July. His victim was from Strafford, Missouri, near Springfield.

In an exclusive look at the killer`s videotaped confession, David Zink recounts he was drinking and driving, on parole and didn`t want to go back to prison. That`s why David Zink says he killed 19-year-old Amanda Morton.

He gave investigators a videotaped confession shortly after the murder. Zink says he feared going back to prison; he was on parole when he bumped into Amanda Morton’s car on interstate 44.

He kidnapped her, raped her, and took her to a cemetery where he tied her to a tree and broke her neck and then cut her spinal cord.

Before Amanda Morton died, Zink said her last word was momma.

Zink is scheduled to be executed July 14th.
