This is an I-Heart podcast. Crime Alert, hourly update. Breaking Crime News now. I'm Sidney Sumner. Florida prosecutors allege that a 13-year-old boy who killed his mother in 2003 was inspired by the Friday the 13th horror franchise. Derek Rosa is charged with fatally stabbing his mother 46 times as she slept near her newborn daughter in their highly a home. Rosa is set to stand trial early next year,

and prosecutors are seeking to have various materials submitted, including evidence that Rosa told friends he was going to be Jason Voorhees for Halloween. Rosa reportedly told his friends, I'm doing Jason. Prosecutors also claimed Rosa intentionally killed his mother an hour before Friday, October 13th, or Friday the 13th. Rosa conducted various online searches hours before the slaying, including where is the best place to stab someone? Is a small knife good for killing?

the carotid artery and cannon knife cut through bone. Additionally, Rosa allegedly shared footage of an Army veteran's 20-20 suicide with his friends and girlfriend before and on the day of his mother's murderer. Rosa laughed and described the graphic video as funny. Prosecutors said the newest batch of evidence highlights Rosa's morbid fascination with blood, death, and gore. After the slaying, Rosa told investigators how he woke up, got a kitchen knife, and repeatedly stabbed his mother. He also sent a friend two photos of his mother. and a selfie, which showed blood on his hands. The teen told a 911 dispatcher

that he sent pictures of his dead mother to someone he met online. He went on to tell the dispatcher there was blood all over the floor. I took pictures and I told my friends about it. Was that bad? You told me about it? My friends.

Your friends? You sent pictures to your friends? So what you did? Yeah. I didn't delete the pictures off my phone but I sent him to him. And I told him that I was sorry and then I'll go by.

I need to know if your mom is breathing. She's dead, miss. There's blood all over the floor. Okay, why did you kill your mom? I need to know. Do you think we can help your mom? Ms. She's that. Can you bring the police over here where I know?

Rosa is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. A hearing for the latest motion is scheduled for later this month. A Michigan man whose three sons vanished in 2010 was charged with their murders on Wednesday. John Skelton was charged in Lenawee County with three counts of homicide, open murder, and tampering with evidence. Skelton has been jailed since 2011 for kidnapping his three sons, Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner. And his release was scheduled for November 29th. In March, the missing boy's mother, Tanya Zovers, was granted a petition to have them declared legally dead. However, the judge ruled there was insufficient evidence proving they were murdered on or about November 26,

2010 or that their father killed them. Zouvers had sole custody of the boys as she and Skelton were in the middle of a divorce. They had spent the holiday with their father and their mother was to pick them up the next day. John Skelton told investigators multiple stories about the boy's disappearance, including claiming he gave them to an organization to protect them from their mother who he said was abusive, claims she denied. FBI Special Agent Corey Burra said Skelton searched online about how to break a neck, potassium cyanide, and rat poison the same month his sons disappeared. The FBI agent also alleged that Skelton addressed Zovers in a suicide note, stating, you will hate me. Burra said he believed the note implied that he had killed their

sons. Skelton appeared virtually at March's hearing to declare his sons legally dead. He did not provide any information about their whereabouts. Quote, I'm at a disadvantage.
