Jury selection is complete and the murder trial for Christopher Collings gets underway Monday in Rolla.

Collings is charged with the 2007rape and murder of nine year Rowan Ford in Barry County.

The child's body was found in a sink-hole in McDonald County.

The child's step-father, David Spears, will stand trial later this year on the same charges.

Both men face the death penalty if convicted.

The trial is being held in Phelps County on a change of venue.
