Elliott’s family remembers her after killer's upcoming execution
Molly Elliott was murdered in 1996 after being kidnapped by Jessie Hoffman, a parking lot attendant. Her body was found on Thanksgiving Day, shocking her family and friends. Hoffman was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Hoffman is set to be executed by nitrogen gas, making him the first inmate in Louisiana to face this method. A recent court ruling temporarily halted the execution, but it was overturned, allowing the execution to proceed on Tuesday. Elliott's husband expressed indifference toward the death penalty, stating he seeks finality after nearly 30 years of uncertainty. He hopes for a resolution to the case, whether through execution or a life sentence without parole.
