In late February, serial killer Roger Kibbe, known as the “I-5 Strangler”, died in his cell. A fellow inmate has now admitted in a letter to a newspaper that he had gained the 81-year-old’s trust just to kill him.
In California, an inmate apparently killed a serial killer after months of preparation. Multiple killer Roger Reece Kibbe, known as the “I-5 Strangler” in reference to Interstate No. 5, where several of his victims were found, was found dead in his cell on February 28. Kibbe’s cellmate Jason B. has since been suspected of killing the 81-year-old man. Rightly so, as it turned out now. In a five-page letter to the Californian newspaper “The Mercury News,” B. confessed to the crime and claimed that he had “primed” his victim for murder for months.
Consequently, B. had already decided last November to kill Kibbe. The following months were spent trying to gain the trust of the serial killer so that he could be housed with him in a cell at Mule Creek State Prison. On the day they merged, he strangled his roommate “with a triangular domain.” He then carved “a rough, inverted pentagram (no circle around it)” into Kibbe’s body.
Revenge for the victims of Roger Kibbe
According to the “Mercury News”, Budrow mentioned two reasons for the act: originally, he just wanted to be kept in a solitary cell, but when he learned more about Kibbe’s case, his plan was a mission of revenge for the “I – 5 strangler “turned into murdered girls and women. In a television special about Kibbe he learned of his deeds with “terrible disgust and heartbreaking empathy” and “it was the report on his latest victim that moved me the most.” The “accidental” broadcast of the show was “a dark omen and a spiritual calling” for him, which was later backed up by two “dream visions.”
“What started as my original minimal plan to commit an uncomplicated murder of a cellmate to maintain my solitary cell status, turned into a mission to avenge this younger girl and all other Roger Kibbe victims,” the 40-year-old wrote. , according to information from the newspaper. “My actions were crafted with specific intent and cognitive complexity, and collectively they were more dire than an arbitrary killer plot.”
Kibbe has been in state prison since 1991 and served multiple consecutive life sentences, including multiple murders. It is said that he raped and killed at least seven women and girls. His modus operandi was to give a potential victim a ride and murder her in a remote area. Kibbe was known to cut his victims’ hair or clothes as a trophy. Originally convicted of the murder of a 17-year-old girl, he confessed to six other murders between 1977 and 1986 in 2009 in a deal to avoid the death penalty. All of his victims lived in Northern California or were in transit, including two women he allegedly abducted from locations in the Bay Area.
B. does not expect the death penalty
B., who had a criminal record at the time, was sentenced to life in prison in June 2011 for the murder of a woman in Southern California. In his letter with the title “Ascension … may your souls go to heaven …”, he wrote according to the “Mercury News” that he was not concerned about the legal consequences. If the authorities decide to impose the death penalty for Kibbe’s murder, they can do so safely. “I am ready to test my theory that no jury will ever vote in favor of sentencing during my possible criminal trial to execute me for the murder of Roger Kibbe, the ‘I-5 strangler.’
B. in his letter, according to the report, he apologized to “doctors, teachers and educators” with whom he had worked in various prison education programs over the past eight years, and admitted that he “had people who considered themselves friends of mine.” . and defenders contemplated, lied to and deceived. The 40-year-old insisted, “I didn’t do this to get attention and I don’t think I should be congratulated either.”
He believes that the souls of Kibbe’s victims “have been freed from the property of their murderer” and “pray that they now rest,” justified B. “As for me, now I have my unicellular condition.”
