Man who killed for love set to die by electric chair

Former Army counterintelligence worker Larry Bill Elliott is set to die in Virginia’s electric chair for gunning down a Woodbridge couple in an effort to win the heart of a former stripper who became an escort. In January 2001, Elliott gunned down 30-year-old Robert Finch and 25-year-old Dana Thrall in their Woodbridge home. Months earlier, the 60-year-old Anne Arundel County man met Rebecca Gragg on the Internet after she placed an ad looking for a “sugar daddy.” Prosecutors said he became obsessed with Gragg and spent about $450,000 on her in 18 months. She was involved in a bitter custody battle with Finch. Elliott, prosecutors said, killed Finch and Thrall to help the woman and win her love.
