Daniel Oliver Jones: A Detailed Account of His Crimes

Early Life and Initial Offense

Daniel Oliver Jones was born on September 26, 1969, in Kansas City, Missouri. During his time at Raytown South High School, Jones was known for disruptive behavior. On May 20, 1987, he attacked a 32-year-old teacher, dragging her into the school's auditorium where he raped and threatened to kill her. The victim managed to escape after approximately 15 minutes, leading to Jones's arrest three days later. He was indicted on one count of forcible rape, found guilty in 1988, and sentenced to ten years in prison. After serving eight years, he was paroled on August 27, 1996, and registered as a Level 3 sex offender.

Series of Murders

Between 1998 and 2001, Jones committed a series of brutal murders in Kansas City, Missouri. His known victims include:

• Jenai Douglas: On December 2, 1998, Jones broke into the apartment of 19-year-old Jenai Douglas, a lifelong acquaintance. He fatally stabbed her numerous times in her bedroom. Her body was discovered later that day by a roommate. Notably, Jones visited Douglas's house multiple times after the murder to offer condolences.
• Kaliquah Gilliam: On March 10, 1999, Jones entered the home of 21-year-old Kaliquah Gilliam on Arleta Boulevard. He stabbed her 36 times. Her body was found later that day by her visiting cousin. At the time, Gilliam was involved in a legal case for allegedly being the getaway driver in a robbery.
• Roxanne Colley: On August 16, 1999, after developing a sexual relationship with 21-year-old Roxanne Colley, Jones became enraged over her involvement with another man. He broke into her apartment by smashing a back patio window, restrained her, sexually assaulted her, and then stabbed her repeatedly before slashing her throat.
• Candriea White: On March 6, 2001, following the end of their relationship, Jones broke into the apartment of 18-year-old Candriea White, a mother of two. He stabbed her 14 times and slit her throat but left her infant children unharmed. A neighbor discovered her body later that afternoon.

Investigation and Arrest

Jones was arrested on March 8, 2001, after a bloody palm print at White's crime scene matched his records. DNA evidence later linked him to the murder of Colley. Despite his family's testimony providing an alibi for the day of White's murder, Jones was found guilty on August 21, 2002, and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. ...Read More
