Breaking crime news now.
Teen girl Adara Bunn stops by a garage sale
and buys a set of rare Pocahontas Disney cups.
The next day, she goes back by the home
in search of more Disney collectibles.
Arthur Jensen invites her to come again the next day.
When she comes back, Jensen invites her to come again the next day. When she comes back, Jensen invites her inside, then attacks, strangling the teen girl dead.
Nancy, prosecutors believe that the motivation behind the murder was sexual for Jensen.
Although Jensen did not sexually assault Bunn, neighbors heard the girl screaming during the attack and called 911.
Officers arrived on scene minutes later.
Jensen exited his home and told
officers, quote, there's a girl inside and I strangled her. Jensen's sentencing brings the
five-year-long case to a close. Jensen, 53, found guilty of murder, now sentenced to 50 years behind
bars. What about life? Christopher Harris settles down to relax at his Florida apartment complex pool. Harris connects
his phone to a Bluetooth speaker, but instead of playing music, he puts on a porn video for the
entire complex to hear. Cops are called. Harris found watching the video with his pants around his
ankles. Need I say more? He's quickly arrested for indecent exposure. I bet that was quite a suntan.
