Choked her to death.
He confessed to the murder of Sarah Michelle Lunde.
The is simply no rehabilitating sex offenders.
THEY CAN NOT GIVE UP THEIR URGES!!!
They should never be allowed to have total freedom once they've molested a child. At worse they should have some minimum security community. But absolutely no free reign to be near children.
Punishment for pedophiles = castrate them upon first offense. Life imprisonment for 2nd offense. In addition, any sick pervert who murders a child gets a swift public execution of death. Thats fair justice IMO.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Time to protect our children from these demented predators. Child porn should be banned and prosecuted to the hilt.....not protected under free speech like our insane black-robed Supreme Idiots have ruled.
It's time to rid our society of this evil murdering of innocent children or face consequenses of increasing HELL on earth.
More from Fox News:
RUSKIN, Fla. — A registered sex offender confessed to killing a 13-year-old girl who disappeared a week ago, saying he broke into her house and choked her to death, the sheriff said Sunday.
David Onstott, 36, was charged with first-degree murder, Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said.
Investigators found Sarah Lunde's body in an abandoned fish pond Saturday. She was last seen April 9, hours before her 17-year-old brother came home to find the front door wide open and his sister gone.
Onstott, who had been convicted of rape and once dated the girl's mother, has been held without bail in the Hillsborough County Jail since Tuesday on unrelated charges. Deputies were also scouring the rural community about 20 miles south of Tampa for clues.
Only in Florida...
Skidmore, Missouri has a solution for all types of lifetime criminals who injure people.
On second thought, who says he has to be dead at the time....?
Since these animals seem to get off raping and killing kids, why aren`t they castrated? Remember that whole talk about "chemical castration"? What the hell ever happened to that? These animals are let out ready to kill at any minute, how the hell is registering them going to make any difference? Castrate the scumbags (literally). Solve the problem for good.
That might mean that the Leftist lunatics on the bench put these animals in prison forever.
We have judges who won't follow the laws on the books. We have judges who block executions for decades because they are anti-death penalty (but ironic they are pro-ABORTION), etc.
Most of our legislators are not aware of the recidivisim rate in their own states much less the national rate. And in states where RATS control the both houses you can't get strong penalties passed. They want to let them vote, WOW they can vote in MORE liberal judges and liberal legislators!
Start educating yourselfs and your legislators. Registration BEFORE release should be done. A national data base on sex offenders needs to be created. (the aclu will howl of course.)
Readers Digest Special Report October 1991 "Free to Rape Again"
By Robert James Bidinotto
By the time Michael L. Reese was 17, he had sexually assaulted at least four children. Each time he was caught he spent, at most, a few months in a youth facility or in counseling.
Later, given six years in prison for a rape, Reese was paroled in three. With in weeks, he attacked another girl and got six months in jail. Soon after his release, he raped again. But the judge refused to impose any mandatory minimum term. "I feel that is inconsistent with having him treated," he said.
After spending three years in a sex offender program at Oregon State Hospital, Reese was declared a "successful graduate" and paroled. Then he tried to sodomize an 11-year-old girl. He got three -- to -- ten more years, but was paroled after serving from the minimum sentence. Last December, Reese kidnapped and tried to sexually assault a young woman.
James Charles Stark got three years to life for a kidnap-- rape in California. He was paroled it less than three. After attempting rape again, he got 1 to 20 years but was three in three. Six months later, he molested a 14-year-old girl.
Stark was sent to Patton State Hospital near San Bernardino. After four years there, he was to return to court and sentenced to eight years in prison. Paroled only a year later, he then kidnapped, raped and shot a teenage girl.
Sickening cases like these two are occurring with alarming frequency, a nationwide Readers Digest investigation has discovered. Of the thousands of chronic rapists and child molesters, who prey on society, surprisingly few are arrested or convicted. And for those who are, the punishment rarely fits the crime.
Their juvenile offenses are glossed over. They are allowed to plea -- bargain. They are put on probation. When they do receive prison terms, they are paroled early. "Most return to their predatory ways," says Capt. Thomas Chronin of the Chicago Police Department, a noted expert on criminal psychology. "Often, their behavior escalates in frequency and brutality."
Haunting Picture. "Up to the mid-1960s, we saw few juvenile sex offenders," reports veteran forensic psychologist John Cochran. "Today, there's a flood."
The justice system has failed to come to grips with the problem. A study commissioned by Utah juvenile -- court executives explained that many sexual offenses by youths went unreported, or charges were dropped, redefined as normal "experimentation."
Teenagers Timothy Anthony Combs and Danny Lee Hill were well known to authorities in Warren, Ohio. Combs, who had and extensive arrest record, had been convicted for gross sexual imposition on another boy. Hill had been given a "permanent commitment" to juvenile facilities after raping two women at knifepoint, during which he threatened to kill his victims and rape one woman's three-year-old daughter. While incarcerated, Hill sexually molested a boy and threatened other boys with violence. Nevertheless, he was released after only a year.
On September 10, 1985, 12-year-old Raymond Fife of Warren, Ohio was biking to a Boy Scouts meeting. He never made it. Hill and Combs raped, beat and tortured Raymond. After choking him with his clothes, they impaled the unconscious born with a stick. Then they set him on fire.
Raymond, who was found by his father, Isaac, never regained consciousness and died two days later. The horrors of that evening still haunt Isaac. "I can't tell you the hell he has had to live with, seeing that picture in his mind," says his wife, Miriam.
"Bargain Day" in Court. Investigators have discovered that by the time sex criminals reach adulthood most have committed an extensive member of offenses that are never reported. Psychologist Philip Humbert of Eugene Oregon, was treating eight sex criminals charge with 16 offenses in all and convicted of 12. The eight admitted to over 13,000 deviant acts, including molestation and rape.
When the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia, research the backgrounds of incarcerated serial rapist, they found that 41 of them were responsible for at least 837 rapes and over 400 more attempts. In a study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Emory University psychiatrist Gene G. Able found that 453 criminals admitted to molesting more than 67,000 children. Those who abused girls had an average of 52 victims each. But men who molested boys had an astonishing average of 150 victims.
When these repeat sex offenders are finally caught, they are encouraged to plead guilty to lesser charges in exchange for reduced punishment. Multiple charges pending against them are dropped, and they are often given probation instead of prison. Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Ralph Adam Fine asks, "What is the serial rapist to think when its 'bargain day' at the courthouse: three rapes for the price of one?"
Melvin Hemphill was arrested in Hollywood CA for robbery and accused of sexual assault by the victim. A plea bargain dropped all him but misdemeanor charge. Hemphill was freed on two years probation. Arrested again for robbery and sexual assault in Ohio, he was allowed to plea bargain only to robbery. His 3 to 15 years sentence was suspended. Hemphill was put on probation and sent back to California.
A few months later, in May 1988, a janitor at Hollywood High School followed a 200-ft. trail of blood to a ventilation shaft. There, strangled and sexually assaulted, was the body of teenager Robert Campo, Jr. Hemphill was soon arrested and allowed to plea bargain to second-degree murder. He will be eligible for parole in 1998.
"More than one person murdered my son," says Robert's mother, Mary Campo. "The whole criminal justice system let us down."
Crazy like a Fox. Many of us assume that anyone who would molest, torture or kill women or children must be insane. As a result says Terry Miller, an Oregon therapist who has worked with many violent offenders, "treatment programs have been used as a substitute for imprisonment." The Vermont based Safer Society Program, which monitors treatment efforts, reports that such programs have mushroom nationally, from fewer than 600 in 1986 to over 1400 today.
Yet, increasingly, experts reject the few that sexual deviants are mentally ill. Virginia clinical psychologist Stanton Samenow, has studied criminals for over twenty years. "The sex criminals anything but 'sick.' He is calculating and deliberate in his actions. He just shuts off his knowledge of right and wrong long enough to commit his crimes."
Warren Bland, the serial rapist, was sent to California's Atascadero mental hospital, released on probation, convicted for more rapes imprisoned and paroled. He then abducted, sexually assaulted and tortured and 11-year-old boy with clothespins, wire and pliers. "I get my fun this way to" Bland told the screaming child.
Sexual predators take their primary pleasure in dominating a helpless victim. "They are playing God," says Miller.
No "Cure." Oregon researcher Lita Furby and two associates reviewed the re- offense rates of sex criminals from treatment programs through out North America and Europe. They concluded: "There is as yet no evidence that clinical treatment reduces rates of sex re-offenses." Cautions forensics psychologist Cochran, "Treatment has been oversold."
Moreover, the legal system rarely monitors offenders once they are diverted into therapy. "Judges and parole boards order sex criminals into treatment, but do not necessarily follow up when they quit," complains Steve Jensen, director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention in Beaverton, Oregon. And to often psychiatrist recycle dangerous offenders back into the streets, says Wisconsin's Judge Fine.
Convicted of exposing himself to a small boy in Washington, Wesley Allen Dodd entered a sex offender treatment program. Even though he repeatedly violated treatment rules, a court allowed him to move to Idaho and enroll in the another therapy program. Officials there said he seemed to be "benefiting from the sessions." Less than a month later, he was arrested for molesting another boy. Dodd was ordered to resume treatment.
Dodd moved back to Washington, abused a four-year old for months, then tried to lure another boy to an building. He spent 118 days in jail, was again put on probation and the to seek treatment.
In September 1989, Dodd raped and killed William and Cole Neer, ages 10 and 11. In October he sodomized four-year-old Lee Iseli, then hung the boy in a closet to die. In November, Dodd was caught trying to abduct another boy from a movie theater. He now awaits execution.
Theodore Frank was convicted of numerous statistic sexual assaults on children. Frank was committed to, then released from, several mental hospitals, where he became an eager student of psychology. He was invited back to a California hospital to lecture as a guest speaker at a model of the effectiveness of therapy.
Weeks later, he raped, then strangled a two-year old girl. "When convened," he admitted, "I have used by knowledge of psychotherapy as an ongoing game a manipulation."
"Sexual offenders are far better at manipulation and deceit than many therapists can comprehend," says therapist Jensen. "And I admit that I can be fooled by them."
Common-Sense Solutions. Sexual criminals must no longer be allowed to terrorize society with impunity. To control this growing menace, psychiatric experts and law-enforcement officers suggest these measures:
1. Get tough on first offenders. For those who commit violent assaults or sexually abuse children, penalties should be massive from the outset. Too many first-time sex offenders get suspended sentences or probation. "This is a gross perversion of justice and common sense," argues Chicago's Captain Cronin. "When first offenders get a slap on the wrist, they think, 'I've beaten the system.' They get the wrong message from the start."
Experts warn that therapy should never be a substitute for incarceration. "Every sex offender should do some jail time," Jensen says. "It gives them a taste of reality."
2. Get even tougher on repeaters. Jill Otey, a former sex-crimes prosecutor in Portland, Ore., who helps victims with civil suits, says of violent rapists, "After the second offense, such attackers deserve life in prison. Why give them a third chance?"
But though sentences can be undermined by plea bargaining, which is sometimes meant to spare victims further pain. "This puts the rest of us at risk," Judge Fine says.
Though a judge must make sure that a trial is not overly traumatic to victims, Fine contends that "in my experience, the victim's worst trauma occurs when the attacker isn't properly punished."
In addition, the lunacy of basing parole on a sex criminal's behavior in prison must end. "Of course the rapist or pedophile is going to behave himself behind bars," observes Captain Cronin. "No women or children are there to attack."
3. Tracking them. Whenever sex offenders are freed, their activities must be carefully supervised and monitored.
"Right now, our country has huge gaps in the identification and tracking of convicted sex offenders," declares Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
David Barry Harrington was convicted of child molesting in Connecticut. While under investigation for a similar crime in Vermont, he disappeared. Then Harrington became principal of a private school in Maryland, where he molested several young boys. A pre-employment background check of Maryland records had revealed none of his out-of-state crimes.
California requires anyone convicted of specified sex crimes to register with the state, and to notify local police whenever they move. The registry helped lead police to serial rapist Warren Bland, for example, and to William Bonin, the infamous "Freeway Killer," who is currently on death row for 14 sex murders.
"There should be a sex-offender registry in every state, and these should be coordinated through a national network," says Ernie Allen.
The ultimate price of our leniency toward violent sexual marauders is paid each year by the thousands whose lives are destroyed.
Five-year-old Kenny Claudio of Roslindale, Mass., left his house to play one October afternoon. He never came back. A few days later, police discovered Kenny's body in a garbage bag. He had been sexually assaulted, then drowned in a bathtub.
They arrested Matthew Rosenberg, 14, who later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in juvenile court. But the criminal-justice system responded in all-too-familiar ways. The Massachusetts Department of youth Services placed Resenberg in sex-offender therapy, from which he may be released as early as March. A DYS spokeswoman explains, "Every kid should be given a chance."
"He's a rapist and a murderer. How many chances does he get?" asks Marilyn Abramofsky, the woman who raised Kenny. "My Kenny is dead. How many more have to die?"
while we cannot impose ex-post-facto penalties on those who are already convicted, I would very much like to see Florida (an all other states) wake up to the fact that pedophiles and rapists cannot be "reformed" and must never be allowed to drop off the scope if/when they are released from prison.
Missing person update ping.
Update on Jessica Lunde...they have the monster responsible for her death.
Blessings,

If you want on/off my missing person ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
At the press conference, the sheriff was asked if the justice system had let the public and the victim down, since they'd had this man in jail and then let him out. Sheriff said he thought there was merit in that argument (paraphrasing here), and that the public should change the laws.
We must make it such that if one of these scumbags kills a child, automatic death penalty. I personally favor branding them in the face with big bold red letters "I'm a pervert scumbag", castrating them, and keeping them in jail with Bubba.
all sexual offenders should be sentenced for life to foreign prisons.
the united states could easily and cheaply store them in mexico.
