Nevada State Prison Inmate Case Files
Raymond Plunkett
Raymond Plunkett was executed in the Nevada State Prison on June 30, 1944. Plunkett murdered his five-month-old baby in Ely, Nevada on December 10, 1942 while the mother worked at the Troy Laundry. Plunkett stated that he felt in his own mind if he killed his child he was not good enough to live so he attempted suicide with a straight razor. Trial testimony showed Plunkett had given orders that people not interfere when the baby was crying because he wanted to make it tough. The Holly Pond, Alabama native was thirty years old at the time of his death.
