Pictured here is: Jessica Knott's body Little Jessica Knott disappeared from outside the family home but just three hours later an anonymous caller called police to tell them where her body was. Police found the 9 year-old's body dumped less than a mile from her home and wrapped in a trash bag. Forensic evidence proved that the bag was from a box of garbage bags in the home of Jessica's neighbour James Crow. Scientists also proved that fibers and a dog hair found on her body matched fibers in Crow's apartment and his Shar Pei dog. Crowe pleaded not guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to 40 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
