Murder of Jennifer Odom

Common card · No. 385537

On February 19, 1993, 12-year-old Jennifer Renee Odom (August 25, 1980 – February 19, 1993) was last seen getting off her school bus near her home in Dade City, Florida, before she was kidnapped by an unknown person. Odom remained missing for six days until her body was found in an orange grove on February 25, 1993. Investigations showed that Odom had been raped and beaten before she died. The case remained unsolved for 30 years until Jeffrey Norman Crum (born August 18, 1961; also spelled Jeffery Crum), who was serving life in prison for an unrelated kidnapping crime, was identified as the perpetrator through DNA testing. Crum was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026, and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
