Adrian Jerry Gonzalez lured 8-year-old Madyson Middleton into his Santa Cruz apartment, raped and killed her, and put her body in a box, investigators said.

Rosell announced Wednesday morning that he charged the 15-year-old as an adult, and identified the boy for the first time.

"He is charged with one count of murder, (with) special circumstances involving sexual offenses, lying in wait, and kidnapping," Rosell said.

According to Police Chief Kevin Vogel, Gonzalez lured Madyson into his apartment. The young girl trusted the boy enough to follow him into the apartment because he was her neighbor at the Tannery Arts Center on River Street in Santa Cruz, Vogel said.

Rosell said Gonzalez sexually assaulted the girl before he killed her.

"Madyson was murdered inside of the suspect's apartment and eventually carried downstairs to the recycle bin and concealed. The suspect had gone to great lengths to conceal the body," police said.

Looks like an arrogant gallows bird. Hempen necktie therapy would probably cure him.

My theory is that there is no earthly punishment severe enough for this. . . but I’m not against testing that theory twenty or thirty times just to be sure.

Based on the name, I’m guessing born here.

Santa Cruz County is very liberal. He may be convicted but never executed or jailed without possibility of parole.

Is that a comment or the title of Rob Zombie’s new album?

Illegal or son of illegals.

Count on it.

Are the white sharks still in the Monterey bay area?

Anchor baby all grown up would be my bet.

Illegal or son of illegals. Count on it.

I doubt it. Most likely a homegrown psycho.
Unfortunately we have our share. Create a make believe world where there is no God - and that people are just animals - and sure, do whatever your mood tells you that day. This was also the Columbine shooters worldview (which is why they particularly sought out Christians to kill).

I suspect it is more of an issue with Santa Cruz than illegal aliens. Deny God, and the Bible, and you reap what you sow.

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all of the Nations that forget God.

Is this efn monster here legally? Enquiring minds want to know. He's one evil P.O.S. either way-but we do need to find out if this is yet another person, who should have never been here in the first place-who killed someone.

Awful crime-Prayers for the little girl and her family.

If this animal is proven guilty -he should be put down like a rabid dog would be put down. Anything less is endangering society.
