Jeffrey Norman Crum, 61, who is already serving two life sentences in prison, is accused of the murder, kidnapping and sexual assault of Jennifer Odom.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — For three decades, nobody knew for certain what happened to 12-year-old Jennifer Odom after she got off a school bus on a typical day in 1993. The girl was found dead in a Florida orange grove not long after.
. State Attorney Bill Gladson said Thursday prosecutors will seek the death penalty in the Odom case.“This is every parent’s nightmare,” Gladson said at a news conference in Brooksville, a city of about 7,000 people roughly 50 miles north of Tampa. “I have confidence we have the right person and we have the right aggravators in this particular case to treat it as a death penalty case.”A grand jury indicted Crum on first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery charges, Gladson added.
Children who were on the bus told investigators they saw a faded blue pickup truck slowly following Jennifer as she walked home. Six days after she disappeared, her body was found in an orange grove in Hernando County after a massive search that the media closely followed.
