Daniel Oliver Jones (born September 26, 1969) is an American serial killer who raped and stabbed four young women to death in Kansas City, Missouri, between 1998 and 2001.
[7] According to Kim Douglas, the victim's mother, Jones would visit her house on multiple occasions to offer condolences after Jenai's killing.
[8] On March 10, 1999, Jones broke into the home of 21-year-old Kaliquah Gilliam on Arleta Boulevard, brandishing a knife and fatally stabbing her a total of 36 times.
Jones would later claim that her having a boyfriend and constantly cheating angered him, and on August 16, he smashed Colley's back patio window to enter her apartment.
[11] On March 6, armed with a knife, Jones broke into White's Linden Hill apartment and restrained her in the kitchen, proceeding to stab her 14 times and slit her throat, but choosing not to harm her infant children, he fled the scene.
[16] On August 21, 2002, the jury found Jones guilty of White's murder, subsequently imposing the sentence of life imprisonment without parole.
In April, Jones confessed to killing Colley, Douglas and Gilliam and offered to plead guilty to all charges to avoid a possible death sentence.
