"She's the nine-year-old Little Girl who was abducted from her home in Homosassa, Florida. Florida sentenced Couey, a convicted sex offender, to death for kidnapping, raping, and murdering Jessica !"
John Couey, convicted of killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, has died of cancer, according to Jessie's grandfather, Archie Lunsford.
"We got a call from the warden this morning," said Lunsford.
Jessie's grandmother, Ruthie Lunsford, said this "is the best news she has heard."
Couey, 51, had been in Florida State Prison near Jacksonville.
He died 11:15 a.m. today at a Jacksonville hospital, state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said.
"So far, no one has claimed his body," she said. "If no one claims it, he'll be buried in an inmate cemetery at Union Correctional Institution in Starke."
