Jessie's Dad

Before his daughter’s murder, the tattooed, longhaired Harley rider drove a dump truck, lived with his church-going parents and spent most of his free time with Jessica Marie. Jessie, as everyone in the small West Florida town of Homosassa called her, loved going to karaoke nights with her dad and playing outside in their mobile-home neighborhood. On 24 February 2005, John Couey broke into Jessie's bedroom and took her across the street to his trailer. He raped her, buried her alive, and killed her.
