March 13th, 2010 Headsman On this date in 1985, Texas executed serial killer for Carrie Marie Scott in 1981 — one of at least three, and up to thirty, of his victims, most of whom were (unlike Scott) abducted for rape and kindred brutalizing. Just the sixth person executed in Texas under its modern death penalty regime, Morin was an IV drug addict. Death chamber technicians to bore through the resultant scar tissue well enough to poison Morin. He’s been on the anti-lethal injection brief ever since. (Oddly, Morin’s execution is not on of recent botches.) But Morin’s most prominent afterlife is a very different object lesson: not medical ethics, but. It seems the last woman he kidnapped, Margy Mayfield, survived the encounter by converting the desperate fugitive to evangelical Christianity; this story is still stocked and by Focus on the Family. Is Mayfield’s own account of their meeting.

He did not convert because that requires repentance and restitution. He could have given closure to thecoother families but chose not to. He did want to impress Margaret Mayfield and make her think her efforts were not wasted but her tetimony and presence was simply a force that confronted and convicted him. Conversion no, not a chance.He simply found someone he could not con. I do want to point out thatvit was only by Divine Intervention that he was caught. This happens often in horrific cases. In the Malvo case recently it wasnt until.
Heard his aunt sing Great is thy faithfulness that he admitted Muhammed had masterminded the shootings. Before that moment Muhammed was not charged because his teenage accomplish was covering for him. When I was 15 1976 morin kidnapped and brutalized my 14yr old girlfriend. The fact that people like morin exist. Along wit the idea of your goD allowing what happened to her. Proves to me beyond all doubt.
There is no god. If this god was testing her faith, he should’ve tested mine. I already knew god was fiction for people of little faith in themselves. Morins conversion is too convenient. I remember the moment i read in the local paper of his execution. My feelings of relief and vindication pale in the shadow o my prior desire for swift and vengeful retribution.
He deserved to suffer at least as long as her lifetime of painful memories and pay for the theft of her youth and trust in others. I totally understand how you would say what you now believe but could never understand the pain and loss of innocence your friend went through. I do understand, for me, that God is real. He has given man authority and free will on this earth. We are to emulate Gods love and compassion toward each other.

The real enemy, pure evil, satan, wants us to destroy us all. God tugs at our hearts and mind and it is up to us to do wants right and follow him. Satan influences us to do what’s wrong. Make no mistake, evil things happen, and don’t please God, but God gives us all our opportunity to be in his kingdom and do his will.
Gods perfect will is for no one to perish, but gives us a free choice to make our own decisions. Evil people exist and evil things happen because this world is corrupt and will remain that way until the day of the Lord. Then and only then will these evil things cease to be. Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment. He said love God with all your heart all your mind and all your soul.
He then said ‘love your neighbor as yourself’. If we did this we wouldn’t see what we are seeing. But if God is all powerful why allow Satan to exist?
If God is supposedly our “father” what kind of father would want to “test” his love by having his daughter tortured, raped and murdered? If God was in the room when that happened and didn’t stop it he’s either not all powerful and all good, or all powerful and not all good. I can see the view from the point of the killer, free will corrupted by a “satan” that is at least as powerful as God (another paradox) but the victims who believe faithfully in God and are tortured, murdered and raped anyway, why would he sit and watch that happen? Answer me that and I’ll convert today. Why would God watch as the BTK killer tortured and raped, and murdered a woman in his church-his place of worship-and took photos to revisit the crime later?
Why allow it? Why allow satan to corrupt us unless satan is as powerful as himself? Why allow his devout followers to suffer? But if God is all powerful why allow Satan to exist?

Why allow his devout followers to suffer? 1 God would have wanted to reach Him much earlier but could not find a willing person to help him. 2 Millions today will read this story on the Internet and believe in the Love of God and not fear death and hell. 3 This is a powerful testimony of the changing power of God’s love. Jihads who kill to go to heaven will seek Christ.
All Faiths will take this story seriously and seek Christ. 4 To all the people who this man killed and brutalized, their lives get Justice and Purpose. They might in some sense have saved millions from Jihad in being eternal proof of the power of God’s love over hate and evil.
It would have been better if those 40 lives were not lost and if this man was not a criminal. The world we live in can be very evil. To destroy hate and evil, we will have to let Love have the last say in the matter. I found a webpage where Margaret Mayfield, who was obducted and spent ten hours with him, talks about the events. She confirmed ( in the end of the recording, in a later telephone call) that Steven Morin told her later, when she visited him in prison, he heard this voice in the car, saying that this was the last time he have a chance to respond to the call to repentance. I do think the repentance was real, he repented and even through his example a warden came to faith, as you will hear in the end.
People who read this and hear this tape will find it maybe too weird or too good to be true. It is a completely different language and life this Margeret is speaking and talking of, I do testify that this kind of life and belief in The Lord is real. It is not normal, it is not common, it is a change of heart and mind and thought life.
To be able to help a serial killer and feel love and finally even be an instrument to his radical conversion and becoming a new man, that is only possible when the One that makes this happen, God allmighty, changed you. May that happen to many many, if not all people of America.
I read that he said he didn’t remember any if his killings except the one he did last, and said it was te drugs. But a son of one of the women he travelled with said he carpeted his van to make it noise free and that he apparently was aware of his deads. Why didn’t he confess all his deeds to the authorities?
Did he meet the Tulsa minister before his arrest he was wanting to meet? Was he baptized one week later after his arrest? The report by this minister talks about that he heard he had to repent while in the car from a voice he heard, like the voice speaking to Saul of Tarsus in the bible, if this was so I believe it, but I can’t find this story elsewhere. After listening to the testimony of the woman he abducted I agree his conversion was genuine.
I concur with Kevin Sullivan, there were too much consistency with actions that didnt have to occur. He could have appealed. Usually when someone’s lies or conning people its to gain something.
I have searched officer Soliz on the subject and can’t find anything. It’s been four years since this comment was made and I am interested in what the officer has to say.I do understand how hard it is to accept his conversion and without understanding Gods mercy its impossible. Brought to my attention by one of the area cops who was standing by for arrest.
If we repent God proises to save us from the “second death”. If he was sincere in his convertion then he will be at peace – if not his true character would have leaked out during the 5 years in prison. God does not rob society of their justice and so the execution was just and then he will stand before God as we all will and there will be true Justice just not we may want. As a former cop myself and a past resident of several towns in TX I find this story very interesting. Here is something that nobody knows we met him and a woman named Rita she was from New York and owned a antique store Little did she know Steve would try to Blow her head off in front me 6 months pregnant the Dad and his Brother and Sarah the woman who would end up being with Steve on his finial killing.Back to Rita we knew her for about a week in which she told us some Crazy stories!She was a Nice person we suggested she go back home ASAP Anyway that night if it wasn’t for the Brother telling Steve” Man cant You See were trying to Watch TV”! He’d would have shot her in the head no problem!I was scared!all i could think of was getting shot in my stomach.I often think how she may be doing! That was just the start of it!
In the spirit of “for what it’s worth” I pass along the following: In my years of ministry, I have dealt with thousands of people, from sweet little old ladies, to brutal killers, and if there is one thing I have learned about people, it is this: The more hardened a person is, the more difficult they are to reach. Hardened individuals, and especially murderers, in the midst of their criminal activity, do not do the things this man did without some type of transformation occurring. That she survived the encounter is the first sign of something positive happening in his life. The next was his complete willingness to talk to her; the next was his calling out to God; the next was his letting her go; the next sign was his allowing himself to be captured without putting up a resistance; and finally, his apparent continence in whatever happened to him that day, by leading the warden of the prison to the person he’d come to believe in. So here we have a very odd story of an extremely brutal killer of women, coming to a cross roads in life, and suddenly his life is changed.
So do I believe this conversion was genuine? I would have to say, based on the aforementioned facts, yes. All of that said: He was still a potentially dangerous man, for we cannot know, had he remained free, what other factors out there could have swayed him from his apparently new-found faith. Perhaps nothing, but we will never know.
And because he committed these terrible crimes, he still had a penalty to pay, so the state of Texas did the correct thing in putting him to death. As always, my heart goes out to the women he murdered, and the lives of the living he ultimately destroyed. My name is Victor Gramrosa,Cheryl Ann Daniel was my girlfriend for almost 3 years up unt the day of her disapearance when we separated. Moron abducted and raped and tortured her beginning that night for two to three weeks.
They found his wallet by her body 6 months after. Morin was a monster who got only a small portion of what he deserved. I would like to thank the arresting officer Jessie Soliz. I would also like to express my sincere condolences to the other family and friends of the victims of this monster. Please write the ACLU and let them know this man was not a botched exicution.

It was a succesful one They could use someone innocent of murder for thier poster boy. 30 years later I still think of Cheri every day. I have no closure, just a big empty hole where my heart used to be.
Leanard I too believe in Jesus and the power of forgiveness. I appreciate you want to speak the truth to this man.
But please keep in mind he has a mountain of pain. To tell him that if he forgives all that pain will go away im not sure.
He has grief. Grief isnt unforgiveness. He misses her, he loved her. I think he deserves a bit of compassion.
We really mustnt judge peoples pain. We can pray God help them to forgive, but first they may need some understandong and love in order to be able to. God is not a hard task master. Hes a gentle friend, always there willing to help us toward the ultimate goal of letting go of hatred and hurt that others have perpetrated toward us. I pray for him to realise Jesus is your friend Victor, there to talk to whenever youre ready.
He understands the pain you are in and have gone through. Im so sorry ? words are just not enough, my heart crys for you. I cannot even begin to imagine the deep anger and sorrow that the family and friends of all of Stephen Morin’s victims have to live with day in and day out. My sincerest condolences. As for Officer Soliz, I have no doubt that you witnessed a demon-filled manI’ve seen possessed people and it is truly undeniable. In no way, do I want to minimize the pain, suffering or experiences, or all who have been affected by Stephen Morin.
My heart truly breaks for you. I do believe in the power of our All Mighty God and I pray that He bring you a sense of peace and love again. I believe that Jesus died on the cross as an ultimate sacrifice for our sins. He has taken all our sins on the cross and we need to forgive in order to be forgiven. When you forgive, you are by no means condoning the behaviour of the the person you are forgiving.
But rather, you are releasing yourself from the bondage that this hatred is holding you in. I know it’s not easyare things worth having ever easy?
I just hope that you can come to that place. I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT CARRIE MARIE SCOTT TODAY, SHE WAS LIKE A SISTER TO ME.
SHE WAS MY SISTERS BEST FRIEND, SHE HAD A HARD LIFE GROWING UP. MY PARENTS TOOK HER IN WHEN SHE WAS A YOUNG TEEN.
SHE CALLED MY PARENTS MOM AND DAD. THEN SHE MOVED TO SAN ANTONIO WITH MY SISTER CIANNE. I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE TRIAL I WAS YOUNG AT THE TIME.
THANK GOD FOR THE LETHAL INJECTION. CARRIE WAS TAKEN FROM MY FAMILY AND HER FAMILY. LISTENING TO THESE MESSAGES AND RECORDINGS ARE AMAZING.
MORIN WAS A TERROR TO OUR SOCIETY. HE WAS PUT WHERE HE BELONGS. CARRIE MARIE SCOTT WE STILL LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.
