Pamela Butler was rollerblading in the street near her residence. Nelson parked his vehicle at the side of the street and lay in wait. As Pamela skated near the slightly ajar door of the truck, Nelson quickly jumped out of the truck, grabbed her around the waist, and threw her into the truck. Pamela's sister, Penny, observed the kidnapping and saw her sister struggling with Nelson in the cab of the truck. Several witnesses also observed the kidnapping, one of whom gave chase in his own vehicle. Although Nelson eluded him, the witness was able to write down the license plate number of the truck-Missouri plate number 177-CE2. Several other eyewitnesses verified the truck license plate number.
Later that evening, the custodian of the Grain Valley Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri, and his wife saw a suspicious white truck with Missouri license plate number 177-CE2 parked in the church lot. The custodian's wife wrote down the plate number and noticed an afghan in the front seat of the truck. They contacted the police after seeing the kidnapping story on the ten o'clock news and informed them of the location of the truck. When the police arrived at the church, the truck was gone.

Keith Dwayne Nelson was executed Friday at 4:32 p.m., according to the Bureau of Prisons, marking the fifth federal execution in the past six weeks.
The Justice Department reinstated federal executions in mid-July after a 17-year hiatus.
Nelson, 45, had been sentenced to death for the 1999 kidnapping, sexual abuse and subsequent killing of a 10-year-old girl, Pamela Butler, he abducted while she was rollerblading in front of her Kansas home. Nelson confessed to raping Butler and strangling her with a wire.
Nelson's attorneys had filed a flurry of last-minute legal challenges to his execution, including arguments that the use of the drug pentobarbital, used in every federal lethal injection this summer, violated the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. The appeals court in Washington, DC, ultimately ordered his execution must move forward despite his claim. They did not appeal to the Supreme Court.
A No Trespassing sign stands in front of the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Ind. Friday, July 17, 2020. A judge in Washington is halting for now the government's planned Friday execution at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana of Keith Dwayne Nelson who was convicted of kidnapping, raping and murdering at 10-year-old Kansas girl.
Friday's execution of Keith Dwayne Nelson will move forward after decision from appeals court
When a prison official standing over Nelson asked him if he had any last words, he was met with silence. Nelson did not utter a word, grunt or nod. The official waited for about 15 seconds, his eyes fixed on Nelson, then turned away and began the execution procedures. Nelson was pronounced dead about nine minutes after the injection began.
