I remember this case out of Mpls/St. Paul. MN: John Jolley. He worked in a store, and when a little girl went to go to the restroom, which apparently was in the basement where he was unloading boxes or something, he decided, with no priors, to abduct her, put her into a box and take her home to sexually molest her and murder her. I think he said he was bored and wanted to know what it was like.
I lurk reading Web Sleuths and am in AWE of all of you with your great skills and knowledge. I just had to jump in with the info on this blanketly-blank John Jolley as just seeing his name angers me to this day.
WARNING GRAPHIC ACCOUNT:
Concentric, this jerk killed her in 1992 just eight blocks from my house in Mpls. Everyone was looking for little Margaret Marques. He grabbed her in the basement of the store and hit her with a mallet/hammer but could not knock her out. So he then strangled her until she passed out. First he brought her home, showered with her and fondled her while his mom and stepdad where at the State Fair.
Before they got back he put her back in the box and he brought her to his brother's apartment in a box, he sexually molested her for two days, then drowned her in the bathtub by laying on top of her. After she was dead he fondled her some more...
Jolley said Margaret never said a word after he hit her in the head, so I always prayed that she may have already been 'gone' mentally. He left her body in the woods.
And to make things creepier, later that year on the same street another jerk waited until his girlfriend was taking a shower, took their few week old baby, and shook it until it was injured and died. I shudder every time we drive down the street then say prayers for these two blessed angels.
He claimed multiple personality disorder. But he was found sane and guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison and it was upheld by the MN Supreme Court.
Fellow Web Sleuthers, keep up the wonder work.
