African American Serial Killers Part 10

Usually, suppressors are meant to prevent alarms. Ironically, such silencers raised suspicions and led to the capture of a vicious monster. Jason Scott Thomas preyed upon the people of Prince George’s County, Maryland in horrific fashion. Unlike what the reporters announced, Scott is no genius or mastermind. He’s an ogre who deserves his one hundred year sentence (though some reports claimed eighty five years).

Scott had been a student at the University of Maryland working on his master’s degree. At the same time, he studied criminal and detective series on TV. He possessed at the time plastic cuffs, box cutters, gloves, and a bevy of semiautomatic weapons amongst other paraphernalia.

His worst crimes remained the mother and daughter murders. Scott extinguished the lives of Delores and Ebony Dewitt. Their bodies had been found in a burnt car. Prior to this discovery, they had been strangled to death. The modus operandi stemmed from those criminal shows he studied. He knew how to clean crime scenes and in this particular instance, he tried to burn the evidence. He, however, didn’t think a beech tree leaf would play a slight role in his capture.

Just as much as they traced the serial number on the weapon accessories, the leaf helped to seal Scott’s fate. Law enforcement officials still could not connect the fallen tree appendage straight to Scott.

He also became attached to the slayings of Karen and Klarissa Lofton who had been shot and killed in their home. ATF agents investigated and ensured that Scott would be brought to justice based on these murders.

In the time it took for the authorities to take him into custody, it prevented further break-ins, robberies, and murders.

It doesn’t matter the color of his skin, this is no thoughtful individual. Scott might be black but that doesn’t mean he should be regarded as some kind of advanced intellectual.

He is a convicted killer who deserves to rot in prison for his crimes. By not acknowledging and preserving human life, this monkey gets to relive the fact that he will never see the glistening vision of freedom.

With his liberty limited, he can watch as many crime specials as he wants in the dayroom, if there exist no restrictions on such programming.

Scott had a short run as a criminal and that is what should be remembered along with his victims, of course. In just a span of a months, the shooting deaths of the Loftons and the strangulations of the Dewitts screamed that a brute roamed the streets in Maryland.What the victims of the women need is for this terror to remain behind the wall. As he worked as a UPS employee, he tracked his victims and their homes. These women had been stalked digitally and treated like animals. Now, locked away in a cage, Scott gets to know what it’s like to be boxed in where his life should have been snuffed as well.

With the quick and decisive work exerted by the authorities, they finally took down Scott. It looked like he might have escaped the steel bracelets of justice. But because of the professionalism of the agents, they brought in this horror with intent and precision.

For his evil acts, there will be no time for him to plot home invasions and killings.

With the advent of video phones, an increase in security cameras, police drones, global positioning systems, advances in DNA analysis, serial killers have not been a prominent factor in society of late.

The irony is that even with the help of these technologies, Scott evaded police. He knew to take gloves, remove batteries from his cellphone, and clean up after himself. Thankfully, he got sloppy with the suppressors and fell into the hands of the almighty law.
