Vicky Renee Newton~~5/01/1964-7/10/1983

Family finally faces girl's killer at hearing

After finding her missing sister on the Internet, a woman confronts the man convicted of killing the girl.

TAMPA -- It took more than 15 years to identify the Jane Doe whose nude body was found near Floriland Mall in 1983 as Vickey Renee Newton of Texas. On Friday, Newton's family came to Tampa to give her a voice as well as a name.

In a Hillsborough County courtroom, Sharron Hawkins faced Vincent R. Quevedo, who has confessed to smothering Newton, and held up three sheets of paper. One was the missing person's sketch of Newton that Mrs. Hawkins found on the Internet this year. The next was the autopsy photo she used to identify her sister. The last was a portrait of a smiling, blond 15-year-old Vickey Newton.

"This is how I found my sister," Mrs. Hawkins said as she held up the missing person's sketch. "This is what you did to her, and this is what she was before you had her."

Her husband, Jeff Hawkins, said he fears for the safety of his teenage daughters because of people like Quevedo. "There's no remorse . . . in your face at all. None," Hawkins said. "You killed somebody and got away with it."

Almost.

Quevedo, 34, faces up to 15 years in prison for violating his probation on a 1984 manslaughter conviction in Newton's death. In a high, thin voice, Quevedo admitted Friday that he skipped out on his seven years of probation, but his attorney asked Circuit Judge Cynthia Holloway for another hearing at which he can present evidence supporting a less severe sentence. Holloway scheduled that hearing for June 30.

The June 30 hearing could end years of uncertainty that began the day in 1982 that Newton called her grandmother and said she was leaving the Dallas area with two bikers who were headed to Arkansas and then to Florida.

"She was always a sweet little girl, and she was very naive," Mrs. Hawkins said outside the courtroom Friday.

Newton, then just 17, had been married briefly, but had never given her family any sign that she wanted to leave Texas. Her call to her grandmother was the last that the family knew of her -- until this year.

In January, Mrs. Hawkins was looking at photos on the Web site for the Missing Children Help Center, when she saw a Tampa Police Department drawing of a Jane Doe found in Floriland Mall's parking lot in July 1983. The bulletin said the young woman's body had burn scars on the hands and thighs, matching Newton's injuries from a childhood accident.

Quevedo was charged with killing the unidentified woman in 1983 and had confessed to suffocating her to keep her quiet as the two had sex in his car, then dumping her body, taking money from her purse and throwing the handbag in the Hillsborough River.

Police said at the time that Quevedo was charged with second-degree murder because there was no evidence of premeditation. They described the then-unknown woman as a "short-time acquaintance" of Quevedo.

With little physical evidence and few witnesses, he managed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter. State sentencing guidelines called for a prison sentence of three to seven years, but then-Judge Harry Lee Coe III sentenced Quevedo to seven years of probation in 1984.

Almost immediately, Quevedo violated his probation, leaving Tampa for California.

"He was given seven years' probation and has never even done a week of probation," Assistant State Attorney Leland Baldwin said.

Years passed, and last December the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office began actively looking to charge Quevedo with violating his probation. On the morning of April 15, deputies made contact with Quevedo's father, who told them that he had not seen his son for two months. Nonetheless, Quevedo turned himself in several hours later.

Just two days later, Tampa police sent more detailed autopsy photos to Mrs. Hawkins' home in the Dallas suburb of Gun Barrel City. She identified the woman as her sister on her own daughter's 17th birthday, and since then her family has not been the same. The parents have trouble sleeping and fear for their teenage daughters' lives if the girls are even a few minutes late.

"My kids have a very limited life now because of people like you," Jeff Hawkins told Quevedo.

"I hope the court system does the right thing this time," Hawkins said outside the courthouse. "They plea-bargained from second-degree murder down to manslaughter, and he never did any of it. I just hope they put him away for the maximum amount of time."

Then the Hawkins family made two more stops before getting ready to fly back to Texas. The first was to the parking lot median where Newton's body was found 16 years ago. There, they spent a few quiet minutes with the bouquet of lilies, mums and carnations and the cross they had placed there the night before.

Then they drove east, to the Rest Haven Memorial Park cemetery on Hanna Avenue. Just before rain started to fall in a slanting torrent, they saw the brand-new headstone that cemetery workers had put in place earlier in the day. It was at the end of Row 44, on what had been an unmarked grave for 16 years. It said:

Help Find Missing Sisters Shaina Ashly Kirkpatrick & Shausha Latine Henson

The discovery of the decomposing corpse of a young Portland, Ore., mother in the Nevada desert — the apparent victim of a couple who ended their lives in Florida in a murder-suicide — has sparked a nationwide search for the woman's two little girls.

The two girls, 2-year-old Shaina Henson and her sister, 4-month-old Shausha, were last accounted for on April 5, when their 21-year-old mother, Kimyala Henson, checked into a hotel in Redding, Calif., with Frank Oehring and Christine Mayer.

Oehring, whose ex-wife says he was the leader of a group of Satanists in Missouri, and Mayer were found on April 20, in a car at a rest area near Naples, Fla., both shot in what the Collier County Sheriff's Office said was a murder-suicide. Literature related to Satanism reportedly was found in the car.

Henson's body was found April 29 in the Nevada desert, near a rest area 37 miles north of Wadsworth, and she was finally identified on Tuesday. She had been shot several times, Washoe County Sheriff's Deputy Michelle Youngs said, adding that it did not seem that Satanism played a part in her killing.

"There was nothing about the way the body was found to indicate ritual or any of that," Youngs said.

Search teams have been combing the Nevada desert around where Henson's body was found ever since she was identified as the missing Portland woman on Tuesday. The searchers, including dogs and a helicopter, have covered more than 200 square miles, and no sign of the two little girls has turned up, which offers hope they are still alive.

"We're not convinced the children are dead," Youngs said. "We are going on the assumption the kids are alive."

Oehring, 28, and his girlfriend, Mayer, 24, were named as the prime suspects in the killing of Henson, and police are hoping that the two may have taken the two girls with them after killing Henson and dropped them off somewhere along the way to Florida.

The tale, spanning from Oregon to Florida, began on April 4, when Henson agreed to go with Mayer, a woman she befriended four years ago when they met at a Portland, Ore., church, and Oehring on a trip to British Columbia.

Relatives said Henson did not know Oehring, who Mayer introduced as her husband, calling him Curtis.

Oehring was a fugitive from Missouri, where he was supposed to stand trial on March 7 on charges that he conspired to kill his ex-wife. Oehring's parents told police in Florida that their son left Missouri on March 6 with Mayer.

After hooking up with Henson in Portland, they did not head north from Portland to Canada. Instead, the group went to California so Henson could get a copy of her birth certificate.

"It appears she thought she needed her birth certificate to get into Canada," Portland Police spokesman Henry Groepper said. "Why she thought that I don't know."

On April 5, someone picked up Henson's birth certificate in Sacramento, Calif., and that night the three adults and two children spent the night in the Shasta Lodge in Redding.

After that the trail is composed mostly of credit card receipts from gas stations, motels and restaurants, though on April 9, Mayer got an identification card in Henson's name from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles in Las Vegas, using the birth certificate.

The paper trail winds through Utah, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, leading to its bloody end at the Naples rest area.

"Those kids are somewhere between [Portland] and Florida," Groepper said. "They could be anywhere."

Shaina and her younger sister, Shausha Henson, departed with their mother, Kimyala Henson, from their family's residence in Portland, Oregon on April 4, 2001. They planned to travel to British Columbia, Canada with Kimyala's friend, Christina Mayer, and a man Mayer introduced as her husband, Curtis. Steven Kirkpatrick, the girls' father and Kimyala's boyfriend, told authorities that he and Kimyala never met Curtis prior to April 2001.

Mayer's husband was actually Frank Oehring, who was a fugitive from Missouri. Photos of Kimyala, Mayer and Oehring are posted below this case summary. Oehring was wanted after allegedly attempting to murder his former wife. Oehring reportedly led a group of satanists in Missouri and Mayer was allegedly a member.

It has been established that Kimyala and her daughters spent the night of April 5 at the Shasta Lodge in Redding, California with Mayer and Oehring. They apparently stopped in Sacramento, California during the day to allow Kimyala to pick up her birth certificate. It is believed that Mayer and Oehring may have convinced her she needed the document to enter Canada. There has been no sign of the children since that time.

Oehring and Mayer were discovered at a rest area in Collier County, Florida on April 20, 2001. Mayer had been killed by a gunshot wound to the temple. Oehring was seriously wounded from a gunshot wound to the head; he died at a hospital shortly thereafter. Authorities determined that Oehring shot himself and his girlfriend in a murder/suicide. Oehring left behind letters detailing the couple's plan to steal Kimyala's birth certificate. Mayer had assumed Kimyala's identity in Las Vegas, Nevada shortly after they met Kimyala and her children in Oregon.

Kimyala's remains were discovered near Nixon, Nevada on April 28, 2001. She had been beaten in the head and shot to death. Authorities believe Oehring and Mayer were responsible for her murder. An extensive search of the area produced no clues as to the whereabouts of Kimyala's daughters.

Testing was done on a bloodstained hatchet found in Mayer and Oehring's car. The blood was identified as Kimyala's. Neither Sausha nor Shaina's blood was present.

Authorities believe that Mayer and Oehring traveled to Florida alone during April 2001. Motel receipts indicate that the girls were not accompanying them at the time. Shaina and Shausha's car seats have never been recovered and their birth certificates are missing. Authorities do not know if Mayer and Oehring harmed the children or sold them to other individuals. Shaina and Shausha's cases remain unsolved.

Shaina Ashly Kirkpatrick
Date Of Birth: April 22, 1999
Age at Time of Disappearance: 23 MONTHS
Age Now: 13

Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Shaina has a triangle-shaped birthmark on the back of her head.

Shausha Latine Henson
Date Of Birth: January 25, 2001
Age at Time of Disappearance: 2 months old
Age Now: 11
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Shausha has a red mark on the top of her head.

The father of two children missing for more than a month isn't giving up hope they are alive, even as an exhaustive search continued in the desert near where the mother's body was found.

"I'll grieve when we know we've lost them and I will hold out hope that the kids are OK somewhere," Steven Curtis Kirkpatrick told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

"My biggest hope is that whoever has the children doesn't know they are being looked for. Those little girls are sorely missed and very loved," he said from his home in Portland, Ore.

Kirkpatrick's girlfriend, Kimyala Henson, 21, was found partially buried in the desert April 29, nearly a month after she was last seen alive with 2-year-old Shaina Ashly Kirkpatrick and her 4-month-old sister, Shausa Henson.

They spent the night of April 5 at a motel in Redding, Calif., with a couple who died April 20 in a murder-suicide in Florida. Washoe County Sheriff Dennis Balaam said the dead couple, Frank Oehring, 28, and Christina Mayer, 24, are the only suspects in Kimyala Henson's slaying.

She was shot to death and left in the desert 60 miles northeast of Reno where her body was found by a motorist who had pulled off the road.

Searchers covered about 100 square miles in the area over the weekend and spent another six hours in the area on Wednesday but found nothing. The Search and Rescue team, aided by dogs, the department helicopter and 25-40 volunteers returned on Thursday but had no success.

Kirkpatrick said he last saw Kimyala Henson and his daughters April 4, when they left Portland with Oehring and Mayer on what was supposed to be a sightseeing trip to British Columbia.

He said Mayer was a childhood friend of Kimyala Henson's, who showed up at their home with a man she called "Curtis" and said was her husband.

"I didn't know them at all," Kirkpatrick said. "Nobody knew Frank. He was introduced to us as Christina's husband Curtis. We had no reason not to believe them."

Kirkpatrick learned about Kimyala Henson's death on Tuesday. But he began to suspect foul play April 20 when Florida investigators notified them of the couple's deaths.

Detectives originally thought Mayer was Henson, after finding the younger woman's identification on her body. But Mayer did not have a heart-with-wings tattoo that helped investigators identify Henson.

Kirkpatrick was in limbo during the two weeks it took to find and identify the woman.

"I would sit there waiting by the phone waiting for someone to call and tell me Kim was dead, or for Kim to call me and tell me she was OK," Kirkpatrick said. "The not knowing kept me from grieving. It's the not knowing that really gets to you."

And the not knowing continues as he awaits news about the girls.

"I bounce all over the place," he said. "One moment my feeling is that they are dead, the next moment I think maybe they are with Kim's friends in Sacramento. Maybe they were dropped off at a church somewhere.

"She was a very good mother and wouldn't leave the children anywhere she didn't feel they wouldn't be taken care of."

His oldest daughter had just learned to talk in the months before she disappeared.

"She would pick up words like you wouldn't believe," he said. "If you said the wrong word, it would be her new favorite word.

"She loved to have her picture taken and would smile for anybody. She was such a sweet

GREENVILLE -- The Greenville Police Department released two new pictures Friday they hope will lead to clues into the murder of 16-year-old Alicia Moore.

Also Friday, documents shed more light on why police didn't issue an Amber Alert in the case after Moore went missing last Friday afternoon.

The pictures show a dark-colored Chrysler or Dodge vehicle, possibly a minivan, directly behind the bus as Alicia Moore got off of it on Nov. 2 at about 3:25 p.m. Moore went missing after she got off of the school bus at the intersection of Walnut Street and Bourland Street. The school bus was headed north toward Graham Park.

Greenville police are asking the person or persons in the vehicle to contact them at 903-457-2900 as potential witnesses.

"They hope that person saw something unusual - a car or person - and will come forward," said Greenville ISD Superintendent Don Jefferies.

Since Moore was found dead in a trunk by the side of the road Tuesday,police have taken a lot of heat from the victim's family for not issuing an Amber Alert. But, a report released by police indicates why.

They thought she was a runaway.

According to the missing person report, Alicia's mother told them Alicia had "done this before but never stayed gone this long." It also states, "during the summer she befriended an older adult, male, and may have done it again."

Earlier Friday evening, the victim's family and friends gathered before Greenville's last home football game. Her friends signed a poster and prayed, and at the game they had a moment of silent prayer.
There was also a candlelight vigil Wednesday night at the spot where Moore stepped off a Greenville school bus.
Marc Cobb, the owner of a West McKinney Kids "R" Kids, and Eugene Knies, the owner of Greenville Chrysler, have offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

Additionally, they began a memorial fund for Moore's family. Anyone wishing to contribute to the Alicia Moore Reward Fund or the Alicia Moore Memorial Fund can send checks to 9070 Westridge Blvd., McKinney, TX. 75070, or at any American National Bank.
