Thomas Hawks

Thomas Hawks and his wife Jackie Hawks were reported missing by family members after they sold the boat, known as "Well Deserved", on which they had been living. Thomas Hawks, a retired Arizona Probation Officer, and his wife, spent much of their time traveling on their boat between Newport Beach, San Diego and San Carlos, Mexico. The Hawks last spoke with family members on or about November 15, 2004. While on shore the Hawks used their vehicle for transportation. That vehicle was missing, but was located in Ensenada, Mexico on December 16, 2004. The couple originally resided in Prescott, Arizona. Family members told detectives it is unlikely the Hawks' would go so long without contacting relatives. Skylar Deleon and his former wife Jennifer Henderson have been convicted of murder. Deleon and his accomplice John Fitzgerald Kennedy were sentenced to death, while Henderson was sentenced to two terms of life in prison without parole. A fourth person, Alonso Machain, accepted a plea bargain after testifying for the prosecution in the trials of Deleon, Henderson, and Kennedy. He was sentenced to 20 years and 4 months in prison. Witnesses later detailed during trials how they were tied to an anchor and thrown overboard. Jackie and Thomas have not been found.
