Murder of Rebecca Kunash
The murder of Rebecca Kunash (June 29, 1972 – May 11, 1979) occurred on May 11, 1979, in Brevard County, Florida, United States, when the six-year-old girl was abducted by then 20-year-old Bryan Frederick Jennings (December 9, 1958 – November 13, 2025), who forcibly took her to Merritt Island, where Jennings raped the girl. After the sexual assault, Jennings caused a skull fracture to Kunash by lifting her upside down and slamming her head to the ground, before he ultimately drowned the girl in a canal. Jennings was found guilty of kidnapping, rape and first-degree murder. Following a trial in 1980 and two re-trials between 1982 and 1986, Jennings was eventually sentenced to death for the murder. More than 46 years after the rape-murder, Jennings, who had lost all his appeals, was executed on November 13, 2025.
