Jerry Eli Sternadel murder 6/12/1990 *Poisoned to death; Debra Lynn Baker convicted of his murder*

Jerry Sternadel

Debra Lynn Baker was convicted of Jerry Sternadel’s murder and received 10 years probation and a $10,000. That was in 1994. However, she continued to break the terms of her probation, so her probation was revoked and she was sent to prison in 2002 for 10 years.

Angela Caston & Sharon McIntyre murder 4/10/2000 Lake Providence, LA *Jesse James Caston convicted and sentenced to life in prison*

*Post updated 1/26/2011*

Caston was also wanted in the murders of James B. Kelly, 59, and his son James M. “Bubba” Kelly, 37, who he is related to. Allegedly, Jesse was having an affair with Bubba’s wife, Andrea. I am still searching for information on this case.

I have not been able to find pictures of the victims. If anyone has one that they would like to share, please email me. Thanks!
