131. Jason Rose and John Jones: Dungeons and Dragons Sacrificial Killing of Melissa Meyer in Oregon

In 1988, 17-year-old John Jones met 20-year-old Jason Rose at a mall in Oregon. John was a loner who wanted to be accepted, to fit in somewhere, to impress people. When he met Jason and they clicked, it was like a cult leader and cult follower dynamic. John didn’t want to let Jason down. They shared similar interests, including the tabletop role playing game, Dungeons and Dragons. What they didn’t have in common, Jason would teach John about. Such as vampirism and sacrifices. 19-year-old Melissa Meyer was from Seattle and had recently moved to Eugene, Oregon. She happened to meet John and considered him a true friend. Melissa didn’t know John was more loyal to Jason than her and would soon guide her to her untimely death in a forested area in Springfield, Oregon.Confessions of Crime includes video of Jason and John demonstrating to a detective using a mannequin: https://youtu.be/iPoYPuESg0Q (GRAPHIC)Thank you to today's sponsor, Athletic Greens!
