Following Donald Moeller's execution, South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard released the following statement.

“After more than 20 years, Donald Moeller finally admitted to killing young Becky O’Connell.  He accepted his fate and dismissed attorneys who continued to oppose his execution.  I take no pleasure in his death, but there are those who are so vile that executions are warranted.  I hope this brings closure to Becky’s mother, and I again commend Warden Weber and his staff for their professionalism in planning this second execution this month.”
