Gone Richard Potts

Gone    In Stockton, California, 18-year old Jessyca Arro meets a dark fate. The twists and turns in the case keep this killer one step ahead until one last clue leads detectives to the mother lode.

Two jet skiers discovered the body of Jessyca Arro on the shoreline of the San Joaquin Delta. An amended information charged defendant Richard Potts with murder, escape, attempted carjacking, false imprisonment, and battery. A jury found defendant guilty on all counts. The court sentenced defendant to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Richard Potts acknowledges, consistent with DNA evidence, that he had sex with the victim, that the sexual encounter occurred in the vicinity of where her body was found, and that the victim used his phone to call her mother and her boyfriend on the morning in question. He denies that he had anything to do with her murder. His only contentions on appeal relate to a fracas that broke out in an adjacent courtroom where a defendant on trial for murder attacked and stabbed a judge before being shot and killed by an investigating officer in that case. Defendant argues the trial court erred in not granting his motion for a new trial based on the prejudicial impact of the violence in the adjacent courtroom. We shall affirm the judgment.

Death in Santa Barbara Malinda Jones

Death in Santa Barbara    When 27-year-old, Jarrod Davidson, is shot in the doorway of his Santa Barbara apartment, the neighborhood fears there's an assassin on the loose. As detectives dig deeper into Jarrod's past, they find out this boy got mixed up with the wrong crowd.    

This is the perfect example of why you tell your child no, they can not have everything they want. According to all accounts, Jarrod was a great dad and it's not unreasonable to share custody.

Kelee Davidson

Philip Jones pleaded guilty to first-degree murder with the additional charge of lying in wait. Kelee
Davidson plead guilty to two counts of perjury and one count of accessory to murder. Kelee was sentenced to four years in state prison with credit for time served. Philip had inoperable lung cancer and was not expected to survive. 

Malinda Jones and her late husband, Philip Jones, had two daughters, Kelee and Kalee. Kelee married Jarrod Davidson in January 2000, and gave birth to M. in July. Jarrod and Kelee separated in March 2001.

In 2004, Kelee and M. lived in Oceano, and appellant and Philip lived in Grover Beach. Jarrod lived about 90 miles away, in Santa Barbara, and worked there as a teaching assistant at the University of California.

Jarrod and his father, Richard, took M. to appellant's house on July 5, 2004, after M. had stayed with Jarrod. Philip answered the door. Addressing M., Philip used a curt tone and said, "Say goodbye to your father." Philip's comment was unusual because the Jones family usually took M. inside without speaking to Jarrod when he took her to their home. Later that week, on July 8, appellant and Philip drove to Jarrod's apartment on Old Mill Road in Santa Barbara to note its location.

On July 9, Philip decided to kill Jarrod. For several years, Philip had owned a .30 caliber rifle that he stored in a closet. On July 9, he put the rifle into his truck, along with bullets. Philip wore a tan jumpsuit and appellant wore a blue hat and a blue sweatshirt. They took the truck to Santa Barbara.

Malia Davidson is being raised by Jarrod's parents, Richard and Susan Davidson, as well she should be.

Sea of Hate Glen Rogers

Sea of Hate ID describes this show as when Norma Rodriguez's murder hits the town of Port Hueneme, police are left sorting out suspects in its wake. It will take a capricious witness and 10 years to clean up the damage. When the dust finally settles no one is more suprised than the killer.

Glen Rogers is a serial killer named, "The Casanova Killer". He has been convicted of two murders but is suspected in many others.

His victims include Mark Peters of Ohio, Sandra Gallagher of California, Linda Price of Mississippi, Tina Cribbs of Florida, and Andy Jiles Sutton.

He is on death row in the state of Florida, and faces a second sentence of death in California for the murder of Norma.

On September 29, 1995, defendant Glen Rogers, a drifter from Ohio who had frequented McRed‟s bar in Van Nuys for several weeks, picked up Sandra Gallagher at the bar and strangled her to death several hours later, burning her body in the passenger compartment of her pickup truck. Defendant fled from California to Mississippi,2 then to Bossier City, Louisiana, where, on November 2, 1995, he picked up Andy Lou Sutton at the It‟ll Do Lounge. Defendant spent the night with Sutton in her apartment and left the following day, telling her he had to go to Jackson, Mississippi, to retrieve a truck, but would return. Instead, defendant traveled to Tampa, Florida, where, on November 5, he picked up Tina Cribbs at the Showtown bar in Gibsonton, on the outskirts of Tampa. Defendant took Cribbs to his Tampa motel room where he stabbed her to death that same day. The following day defendant, driving Cribbs‟s car, returned to Sutton‟s apartment in Bossier City, Louisiana. The next night, on or about November 7, defendant stabbed Sutton to death in the bedroom of her apartment.
