Parents of Hailey Owens settle wrongful-death lawsuit with Craig Wood

The parents of Hailey Owens have settled a wrongful-death lawsuit against Craig Wood, the man charged with kidnapping, raping and murdering the 10-year-old girl in 2014, court records show.

Owens's parents, Stacey Barfield and Markus Ryan Owens, settled the lawsuit on April 20 for an undisclosed amount, court document show.

Wood, 49, is accused of snatching Hailey off the street in west Springfield on Feb. 18, 2014. Her body was allegedly found hours later wrapped up in his basement.

Wood has yet to stand trial, but the News-Leader has reported he's willing to spend the rest of his life in prison if, in exchange, the Greene County prosecutor drops his pursuit of the death penalty.

Last week, Barfield said she wants prosecutors to take that deal.
