Summary: While walking
down the street at 1 a.m. in an area where prostitutes gathered, 23 year old
Lisa Crider was abducted by Hedrick and Trevor Jones. Reportedly, the two were
drinking bourbon and ingesting marijuana and crack cocaine. Crider was robbed,
put in Jones' truck and driven around before she was raped and then shot to
death at short range with a shotgun near the James River in Appomattox County.
Her face no longer recognizable, her head wrapped in duct tape and her hands
shackled, Crider was later found in the river. Upon arrest, Hedrick confessed
to pulling the trigger. Accomplice Jones was sentenced to life in prison.
QUOTE: Crider's mother, Dale Alexander of Altavista, said
Wednesday that her daughter "is still with us. . .
. I know very well what's happened, I accept that. But I see all kinds of
signs, all kinds of message from her." "It gives me a lot of peace of
mind," she said.
AUTHOR: Dale Alexander is the mother of Lisa Yvonne Alexander Crider who was
