For the longest time, the execution of Brandon Bernard continued to be delayed, probably because of different factors. He was convicted to die many years ago, but it is only now in 2020 when he was finally executed. He was tasked to dispose of the clues, but even he was sentenced to death when they were all caught.

Over the years, Brandon has said that he acknowledges the mistake that he has made, but at the same time, he knows that he cannot do anything to change the mistake any more. The family members of the victims have accepted his execution and his apology.

Brandon Bernard was executed for this involvement in the gruesome murder of an Iowa couple, Todd and Stacie Bagley, in June 1999. Brandon Bernard was among the five teenagers that carried out the gruesome act, and he was the only person that was sentenced to death because he was already 18 when the incident happened. The other four teenagers were given prison sentences because they were not up to 18. Bernard and his gang had first robbed the couple, after which one of the five teenagers, Christopher Vialva, shot Stacie Bagley and Todd. However, Bernard's main offence is that he burnt the couple in the trunk of their car after they had already been shot by Christopher Vialva. The prosecution team had argued that; although Todd died immediately after he was shot, Stacie Bagley didn't die until she was burned by Bernard. Brandon Bernard was not executed until December 10, 2020.
