It took nearly 19 years but one of the two men responsible for a grisly 1998 triple murder in the Vichy area, in Maries County, is put to death. Mark Christeson was only 18 when he and his 17-year-old cousin, Jesse Carter, took Susan Brouk and her 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son to a nearby pond where they were killed and dumped into the water. Christeson, who was granted a temporary stay in 2014, had a clemency request denied by Governor Eric Greitens and was given a lethal injection, in Bonne Terre, on Tuesday. Carter received a life sentence in exchange for testifying against Christeson.
