Wood's conviction of the murders of six women and girls in El Paso, Texas in 1987 was largely based on circumstantial evidence. He's set for execution March 13.

Thirty-seven years to the day, the state of Texas is set to execute Wood for the killing of six of those victims, who bodies were found strangled and raped in a Northeast El Paso desert. Wood is scheduled to be executed after 5 p.m. Thursday, March 13, at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Huntsville Unit prison.

Feb. 14 – Marjorie Knox, 14, of the 400 block of Byrum in Chaparral, N.M., disappears. She remains missing.
