Jeffrey Norman Crum, 61, has been indicted on first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery charges in the death of 12-year-old Jennifer Odom, whose body was found in a Florida orange grove in 1993.
Now, authorities in Hernando County say a DNA match has identified her killer as Jeffrey Norman Crum, 61, who is already serving two life sentences for a. State Attorney Bill Gladson said Thursday prosecutors will seek the death penalty in the Odom case.
A grand jury indicted Crum on first-degree murder, kidnapping and sexual battery charges, Gladson added. It wasn't immediately clear if Crum had a lawyer to speak for him about the case. 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.
“This is not someone who should be taken lightly,” Nienhuis said. “This is a bad guy who enjoyed violence.”
