John Kevin Woodward killed his room partner’s girlfriend Laurie Anne Houts due to jealousy and now after 30 years of her death, he has been taken into custody by the police. Let us know more about Laurie’s detailed information.
John Kevin Woodward, 58, the president and CEO of Readytech, was charged with murder of Laurie Houts, a computer engineer, 30 years after the crime took place.
Woodward was taken into custody at New York’s JFK airport on Saturday after he arrived from Amsterdam.
This is a clear case of jealousy as having developed romantic feelings for his roommate who was Hout’s boyfriend, Kevin strangled her with a rope in her car in Mountain View, CA, in September 1992.
The cops had arrested Woodward on suspicion but despite getting the proof of Woodward’s fingerprints on the outside of Houts’ car, the investigators were unable to prove his presence inside the car in 1992.
Who Was Laurie Houts Boyfriend?
A mile from her place of employment, Laurie Houts, a 25-year-old computer engineer, was discovered dead in her automobile next to a dump.
Rob Baker, a deputy district attorney for Santa Clara County, added that the event happened in the 1300 block of Crittenden Lane in Mountain View.
John, who shared a room with Laurie’s boyfriend openly envied her. He and his roommate look to be in a romantic relationship that is not shared by the other.
When his roommate questioned whether he had killed his girlfriend, he didn’t accept it. We do not have the identity of her boyfriend but it looks like he used to love her enormously.
Woodward was tried twice but in both trials the result was a hung jury because of insufficient evidence. This killer availed this chance and left US to relocate himself to Netherlands, the country of his current residence.
Trusting the friend and sharing a room has become guilt for her boyfriend as he was unknown of his friend’s intention at that time.
Not only that, if he would have noticed his jealousy of John then he would have protected his girl and this could have never happened.
