The Murder of The Lovely Niece of Marilyn Monroe


 

Krystal Jean Baker 

This 13 years old girl, Krystal Jean Baker (1982-1996), was a very lovely young girl whom many feel bore a certain resemblance to her famous relative, the actress Marilyn Monroe. Or rather with her great aunt Norma Jean Baker before she was turned into Marilyn Monroe as part of her struggle to become a movie star. Marilyn/Norma succeeded in her field of work, but Krystal didn't even get the chance of spreading her wings as she unfortunately met a man who was horny as well as cruel.

It seems that young Krystal had taken a day off from school, claiming an earache that made it impossible for her to leave the house of her grandmother - that is, until one of her friends phoned her. Then she "had a miraculous recovery" that made it possible for her to go out to see said friend. 


Sadly enough when she went along to spend time with her friend, happy as a lark, that was the last time anyone in her family saw her alive as she was found dead, obviously murdered, in what has been called The Killing Fields which run along the Texas' Interstate 45. That means that in death she was one of more than 30 young women found dead here. That's a "club" that nobody wants to join, and one wonders how the young teen, Krystal, ended up there. 

As many teens she may have been rebellious, but she didn't lead a life that made her a typical target for murder, so what happened? Well, it took several years to identify her killer, Kevin Edison Smith, and it didn't happen until her semen soaked dress was resubmitted to analysis for DNA. That put a face on the killer and sent him to jail on a life sentence. However, the  question is, did he murder others or was Krystal his sole victim? 

Detectives have described the remote area where Krystal and some of the other victims were found as a perfect dumping ground for a serial killer. Something which has made investigating the cases so difficult that not all of the many victims have been identified. It's very sad to think of all of these women losing their life in this manner. Some believe that they were prey to the wealthy members of a "shooting club", specializing in humans, i.e. women.
