New York mother raises $4,000 to travel to South Dakota to witness execution of man who raped and killed her 9-year-old daughter 22 years ago By PUBLISHED:18:15 GMT, 4 September 2012 UPDATED:18:20 GMT, 4 September 2012 A mother whose nine-year-old daughter was kidnapped, raped and slashed to death in South Dakota 22 years ago has raised enough money to attend the convicted killer's execution. Tina Curl, 50 sac longchamp pliage, appealed for help last month after she was unable to afford the 1,400-mile road trip from her home in Lake Luzerne, New York to South Dakota for Donald Moeller's execution. After news coverage of her predicament, donations flooded in from as far away as Chicago and Alaska, and she has now raised the $4,000 she needed to drive and stay in Sioux Falls. But as well as generous donations from strangers, Curl also received an onslaught of negative comments telling her to move on and seek help. 'Everybody wants to put me down because I want to be there to see the execution,' Curl said. 'Unless you've walked in my shoes, don't judge me. Don't tell me what you would do if it happened to you. You don't know until it happens to you.' Moeller, who murdered Curl's daughter Becky O'Connell in 1990 polo ralph lauren pas cher, will be executed with lethal injection between October 28 and November 3. But with the exact date of the death unknown - the warden will give 48 hours notice - Curl and her husband also needed money to cover motel costs for the week. They also needed help with gas money as Curl needs to travel by car as she suffered a heart attack and quadruple bypass in May 2003 longchamp pliage, is registered disabled and cannot fly. Her husband Dave, who was not Becky's father, has been out of work for a year. A neighbour helped Curl set up an online PayPal account and open a fund at a local credit union. Any money she does not spend on the trip will cover unpaid bills from O'Connell's funeral, she said. 'I have waited 22 long years for this franklin and marshall,' Curl told ABC News. 'He watched her die and I am going to watch him die.' 'The sooner they get him strapped down abercrombie pas cher, the better I’ll feel OXYtdcJ xqEQhp QQRnqtY uezeuM,' she added to the Argus Leader last month. 'I’ve been preparing for the day for 20 years. I’d been thinking he’d die from health problems.' Her daughter, Becky O'Connell, vanished on May 8, 1990 when she went to aconvenience store a block from her home in Sioux Falls. Moeller grabbedher as she walked along the busy intersection. The youngster's naked body was found in a ditch in Lincoln County sac longchamp pas cher, South Dakota the next morning; she had been raped and stabbed and died after her throat was slit, according tocourt documents. Moeller, now 60, was found guilty in 1992 and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the rape charge and death by lethal injection for the horrifying murder. Donald Moeller has repeatedly tried to overturn his death penalty after it was set in 1992. In 1996, the South Dakota State Supreme Court agreed he did not get a fair trial. But when he was retried a year later, the verdict remained the same - death. Moeller said through his attorney that he accepts the execution as the consequences of his actions.
