Jaymie Adams’ husband arrested for her murder

January 29, 2012 in Uncategorized by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

Jaymie Adams

Husband is arrested on murder complaints in Blanchard mom Jaymie Adams’ death:

This past week Jaymie Adams’ husband, Justin Adams, was arrested for her death. It’s alleged that he stabbed her to death. Jaymie was also pregnant with their child. While previously I said to keep an open mind about suspects in this case it seems the most like answer was the correct one.

According to reports Justin Adams was allegedly violently abusive toward his wife.

If you’ll recall Justin Adams said his wife was a craigslist prostitute and that may have led to her death. Now it seems that not only has craigslist probably had nothing to do with her murder so far she also may have not been a prostitute even though she was advertising as a massage therapist.

Since this is not a craigslist crime in my opinion I will no longer be blogging about Jaymie Adams’ murder here. However out of respect to Jaymie Adams and her unborn child I will be blogging about her murder at my personal blog.

Jury recommends death for David Sparre

December 13, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | No comments

David Sparre

Jury recommends death for Craigslist killer:

Today a jury in Jacksonville, Florida recommended the death sentence for David Sparre in the bloodthirsty stabbing death of Tiara Poole. The pair had met on craigslist through the personals. Sparre stabbed her to death and stole her car and several of her other possessions.

In a move not recommended by his attorney Sparre waived the right to have witnesses testify on his behalf to try to dissuade the jury from the death penalty. It seems that Sparre has consigned himself to his fate since he smiled the whole time during the reading of the jury’s recommendation.

A judge will still have the final say in Sparre’s ultimate fate but I don’t see the judge going against the jury’s recommendation but I have been wrong before.

If the death sentence is delivered Sparre will have the luxury of just going to sleep permanently instead of being ferociously stabbed almost 90 times like his victim.

John Katehis sentenced for murder of George Weber

John Katehis perp walk

Brooklyn teen John Katehis gets 25 years to life in prison for murder of ABC reporter George Weber:

John Katehis was 16 in 2009 when he brutally murdered New York radio personality George Weber by stabbing him to death over 50 times. Today the self-proclaimed satanist learned today that he will spend 25 years to life behind bars.

During the sentencing hearing Katehis made an alleged apology.

“For the death of George Weber, I am sorry,” he said. “I regret it.”

That’s a load of crap. Katehis was the one who put the craigslist ad out there offering himself for sexual liaisons with older men with the purpose of making someone a victim. (Previously I had posted that Weber placed the ad but I was incorrect.)

You smiled and winked during your interrogation, you showed up to court with satanic scribbling on your shoes and you tried to get money out of the New York media for your statement. As usual with scum like this you’re only sorry that you got caught. You’re not such a badass now are you?

David Sparre convicted in craigslist killing of Tiara Pool

December 2, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | 4 comments

David Sparre

Man convicted in Craigslist murder of Navy wife:

In July of last year 20-year-old David Sparre was arrested for the brutal stabbing death of Tiara Pool in Jacksonville, Florida. The pair had met on craigslist either through the personals or casual encounters. Today justice was served as Sparre was convicted of first degree murder.

Tiara Pool was a 21-year-old mother of two who was married to man serving in the Navy but they were having marital problems. She met Sparre through craigslist and during their encounter Sparre stabbed her 89 times with part of the blade breaking off in her skull. Sparre also stole some of her possessions including her car, a Playstation and a wireless router.

Sparre’s attorney admitted that Sparre killed Tiara but tried arguing that Sparre blacked out upon finding out that Tiara was married. Does this actually happen outside of soap operas? Thankfully the jury didn’t buy it and handed down a guilty verdict.

Sparre is more than eligible for the death penalty. The sentencing phase is set to take place starting December 13th.

Is it me or does it look like he’s taken well to prison life. Compare his mugshot to the picture above from his trial. He’s got the teardrop tattoos and the Vanilla Ice eyebrows.

Hopefully his stay in prison before a date with the needle will be a short one.

John Katehis convicted in the murder of George Weber

November 20, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | No comments

John Katehis perp walk

‘Satanic’ Teenager Convicted of Killing Carroll Gardens Radio Host:

Speaking of craigslist killers you all remember John Katehis don’t you? At the age of 16 in 2009 Katehis was arrested for the brutal stabbing death of New York radio host George Weber. Weber had posted an ad on craigslist looking to pay someone to perform oral sex on him and choke him. What ended up happening was Katehis responded to the ad and ended up stabbing Weber over 50 times. Katehis claimed self-defense but common sense dictates that 50 stab wounds is more than self-defense. Not to mention that Weber’s feet were bound.

On his social networking profiles Katehis claimed to be some kind of satanic badass. He laughed during his confession and showed up to court with ‘satanic’ scribblings on his shoes. He also wouldn’t talk to the press unless they paid him.

Last year a mistrial occurred when a lone dissenting juror refused to convict him. It seems that a new jury pool was all it took because Katehis has been convicted.

He’s looking at 25 to life and is scheduled to be sentenced on December 7th.

The craigslist killing that isn’t

July 24, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | 4 comments

Latoya Jordan

Woman, 24, Arrested In Craigslist Killing:

I’m sure my 5 readers are anxious for me to talk about the most recent murder that the Florida media has dubbed a ‘craigslist killing’ but I don’t think it is.

In Fruit Cove, Florida 24-year-old Latoya Jordan has been arrested for the stabbing murder of 53-year-old Daniel Somerson. Jordan is said to have met Somerson on craigslist. Investigators say that Jordan would use craigslist in order to find places to live where men would take care of her. Supposedly all the relationships she had with these men were strictly platonic. The thing is Jordan met and started living with Somerson two months before she allegedly murdered him. Police say that the murder happened over some type of dispute. In my opinion this is not a ‘craigslist killing’.

If you look through the annals of this site you’ll see that most of the killings connected with craigslist started out as robberies as shown by the murder of Julissa Brisman by Philip Markoff. Or they were just nuts and bent on killing like Michael John Anderson in the murder of Katherine Ann Olson. My point being is that in these cases craigslist was a direct instrument of the crime. While Mr. Somerson’s death is indeed tragic craigslist was only indirectly involved.

So bottom line, at least on this site, Latoya Jordan will not be considered among the scores of murderers here who are considered craigslist killers.

DNA may implicate David Sparre for murder

May 15, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | 2 comments

David Sparre

Clothes, DNA Point To Navy Wife’s Killer:

It’s been a while since we last heard about David Sparre. Sparre is accused of stabbing 21-year-old mother of two Tiara Pool to death after the pair met through the craigslist personals. He allegedly stabbed her 89 times.

In past posts we’ve had family members of Sparre vehemently proclaiming his innocence saying things like his fingerprints weren’t on the murder weapon. That point may be moot now.

Court documents recently discovered say that Sparre’s DNA was on the murder weapon. So if you go by the logic of some he was at least present at the time of the murder. I don’t follow that kind of logic. To me that means he is the murderer.

In those documents investigators also say they found remnants of Sparre’s clothes from the murder in the ashes of a fire that Sparre set allegedly to destroy evidence.

But yeah. Keep proclaiming his innocence.

Craigslist killing in Kansas City

March 5, 2011 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | 3 comments

Ali Cubba

Yuri Ives met his suspected teenage killer through a Craigslist personal ad:

Don’t let the baby boy looks fool you. According to police in Kansas City, Missouri 17-year-old Ali Cubba is a stone cold killer. Cubba has been arrested for the brutal stabbing and shooting murder of local realtor and community activist Yuri Ives, 48.

It seems that craigslist is living up to its cesspool of crime moniker as Cubba responded to a craigslist personal ad placed by Ives with the intention of robbing him. The robbery went bad and Cubba allegedly stabbed Ives and shot him with his own gun.

Also arrested was 18-year-old Zachary Kimbrell who was the driver in the botched robbery attempt.

Police found Ives’ gun in Cubba’s bedroom and that calls were made from Ives’ cell phone to Cubba.

Both Cubba and Kimbrell have been charged with second degree murder.

Again when you have a website that allows people to communicate with almost total anonymity it’s going to attract criminals from all over the spectrum from con artists to killers.

Mistrial declared in NY craigslist murder trial

October 29, 2010 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | No comments

John Katehis perp walk

Jury deadlocks in NY radio newsman’s killing:

John Katehis received a gift yesterday. The gift of hope that he might not actually spend 25 to life behind bars for the brutal murder of former radio newsman George Weber.

A mistrial was declared after a lone dissenting juror refused to budge towards conviction. I wonder what their deal is. I’m guessing that he either hated gays or was one of those kids shouldn’t be tried as adults types. Anyway none of that matters because I can’t see the people of New York allowing such a brutal killer to walk free.

I mean is anyone really buying the self defense story? Katehis was the one who placed the ad on craigslist advertising himself for sex for money. Weber’s feet were bound and he was drunk. Is stabbing a man 50 times really self defense? Not to mention the fact that Katehis has been acting like a complete tool since his arrest. He laughed during his confession. He came to court with ‘satanic’ scribblings on his shoes and he wouldn’t talk to the press unless he was paid.

A hearing will be held next week to determine what the next step will be.

Enjoy that glimmer of hope Katehis because you will be retried, you will be found guilty and you will be sent to prison for a long time where you’ll find out who the real badasses are.

George Weber’s accused killer appears in court

October 14, 2010 in Craigslist, Killers by Trench Reynolds | No comments

John Katehis perp walk

Teen charged in slaying of WABC newsman laughs at taped confession:

NYC teen recounts radio newsman’s killing in video:

Tempers flare in court in case of teen accused in WABC news slay:

It’s been a while since we talked about yet another accused craigslist killer John Katehis. In March of 2009 Katehis allegedly stabbed New York radio newsman George Weber to death after Weber placed a craigslist ad looking for sex. And by stabbed I mean 50 times.

Katehis is claiming that he freaked out after Weber gave him cocaine and produced a knife and stabbed Weber in self defense, 50 times.

Katehis has not been helping his own defense since the March 2009 slaying. In one instance he refused to speak to the media unless it was for cash. In one court appearance he had ‘satanic’ scribblings all over his shoes. And of course there was his MySpace page of him posing with knives and claiming how much of a satanic badass he was.

His latest episode of not helping himself happened this week in court when his taped confession was aired. In the tape Katehis laughed at certain times while joking with investigators while he munched on a doughnut. While the confession was being played he was laughing along with himself in court.

Let’s not also forget that Katehis rolled Weber for $60 after he stabbed him. People who kill in self defense even while on cocaine usually don’t rob their dead victims. Not to mention Katehis said that he exchanged his bloody clothes for Webers. Again if it was self defense would he be trying to conceal evidence?

And it seems that Katehis’ lawyer isn’t helping either. Defense attorney Jeffrey Schwartz tried getting the judge recused from the trial because he felt the judge had a grudge against him.

“I cannot function as an attorney with a muzzle – and a blade pointed at my throat,” Schwartz told Firetog in court on Thursday.

Bad choice of words there pal.

Schwartz also claims that investigators and prosecutors terrified his client. Yeah, he’s so terrified that he joked and ate doughnuts and even laughed at himself in court. Sounds like a real scaredy cat to me.

George Weber’s plight should show you exactly how dangerous cruising for anonymous sex on craigslist could be.
