Haunting Me

If there is one story in all the years that really stands out in my mind, it is the story of Tom and Jackie Hawks. The Hawks fulfilled a dream, and retired on a 55-foot yacht named The Well Deserved, docked in Newport Beach, California. For four years, they cruised on the ocean enjoying a life Tom always dream about. But when their grandchildren came, they decided to return back to land and sell their boat.

How he did it and what ultimately happened is enough to make anyone sick. Then to watch Deleon, who is so obvious deranged, talk about it so flippantly just blows you away that a human being can be so “off”. Every single time I watch him, he makes my skin crawl. He is unable to contain his joy when he talks about the Hawks murder, and he still has no problem lying without blinking an eye. It’s chilling. If you missed 48 Hours this past Saturday, its definitely worth watching.

ABC’s 20/20 also covered this story back in February, and Skylar Deleon told us in this video snippet that he was sorry. Did you believe him? I’ll post my thoughts about this video snippet in the comment section later this week.
