Show Notes
In November 2004, Skylar Deleon—a former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers child actor—murdered Tom Hawks (57) and Jackie Hawks (47) by tying them to their yacht's anchor and throwing them overboard alive off Newport Beach, California. The couple had advertised their 55-foot yacht "Well Deserved" for sale to move closer to their newborn grandson in Arizona. Deleon posed as a buyer, brought his pregnant wife and baby to gain their trust, then overpowered them during a test cruise with accomplices John Kennedy and Alonso Machain. Forced to sign ownership documents at gunpoint, the couple was duct-taped, handcuffed to a 66-pound anchor, and dragged 3,500 feet to the ocean floor whilst still alive. Their bodies were never recovered. Deleon was also convicted of murdering Jon Jarvi in 2003 after conning him out of $50,000. Sentenced to death April 2009. Wife Jennifer Henderson received life without parole. Full case details with crisis resources.
