Dayton Leroy Rogers (born September 30, 1953) is a serial killer currently on Oregon's death row at the Oregon State Penitentiary for six murders. He has been tied to the murders of seven women. He preferred "street" women, usually addicts, prostitutes and runaways. The bodies of six of the women were found at a dump site located on privately owned forest lands outside of Molalla, Oregon, and thus he was dubbed the "Molalla Forest Murderer." ==Crimes== Rogers was convicted in 1988 for the murder of his last victim, Jennifer Lisa Smith, whom he killed August 7, 1987,〔〔 and in 1989 for a further six murders〔 where he was sentenced to death.〔 Jennifer Lisa Smith was a convicted prostitute and drug addict.〔 She was in Rogers' truck parked in a lot located off of SE McLoughlin Blvd in Oak Grove in unincorporated Clackamas County, when he stabbed her 11 times in the breasts, abdomen, and back. She fell out of the truck where she was attended by witnesses from a nearby diner and later died at the hospital.〔 One witness stood by a window relaying the action to another patron who could not see the parking lot; that patron called the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. When the victim fell to the ground, several witnesses ran to their cars in an attempt to block Rogers' car in the parking lot; however, he drove over the landscaping and headed south on SE McLoughlin. One witness followed Rogers through Milwaukie, Gladstone, and Canby at speeds up to 100 mph.〔 When the suspect's car pulled into a driveway, the following driver got the address, made it to a phone and called in the info. Rogers' modus operandi was to pick up prostitutes and take them to secluded areas. He took at least six of them into the forest where he would tie them up and kill them. He was married and had a child. He was a small engine mechanic by trade and he was deeply in debt. He was connected to the bodies through his habit of pouring a mini-bottle of vodka into an orange juice bottle to make himself a screwdriver. Rogers was convicted in May 1989 for the murders of 23-year-old Lisa Marie Mock, 26-year-old Maureen Ann Hodges, 35-year-old Christine Lotus Adams, 20-year-old Cynthia Devore, 26-year-old Nondace "Noni" Cervantes, and 16-year-old Riatha Gyles. The seventh body was identified in August 2013. Rogers was sentenced to death three times, and three times the Oregon Supreme Court vacated the sentence of death and remanded the case for a new trial. The first two Supreme Court decisions came in 1992 and 2000.〔''State of Oregon v. Rogers'', 313 Or 356, 836 P2d 1308 (1992), cert den 507 US 974 (1993)〕〔''State of Oregon v. Rogers'', 330 Or 282, 4 P3d 1261 (2000)〕 In both instances, a jury once again imposed the death penalty. On October 11, 2012, the Oregon Supreme Court vacated his latest death sentence, and remanded the case for a new trial on the appropriate penalty.〔''(State of Oregon v. Rogers'', __ Or __ (2012) )〕 On November 16, 2015, a Clackamas county jury sentenced Rogers to death for the fourth time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dayton Leroy Rogers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
