$20,000 reward for the scumbag that killed my cousin
 

http://www.thewatsonian.com/jjh_reward.GIF

If you live in the Southern California area then you are probably familiar with the story.
My 15 year-old second-cousin, Nicholas Markowitz (his mother is my first-cousin, the blonde you might have seen on NBC this afternoon), was murdered last year. His brother owed some bad kids money for drugs and disappeared so the drug dealers kidnapped Nick then shot him 9 times several days later.
Finally, the feds just came up with the reward money they promised last year. The reward is officially $20,000.00 but the family is trying to contribute more and the local news reported the total at $30,000.00 today.
All but one of the suspects have been incarcerated. Jesse James Hollywood has been on the run this entire time and reports have put him in Las Vegas, Colorado, Mexico and Canada.
Here are some links to the story and several press releases: http://www.msnbc.com/local/knbc/NBCJH6Q2YOC.asp http://www.sbsheriff.org/wn/spr/08170001.html http://www.sbsheriff.org/wn/spr/08170002.html http://www.sbsheriff.org/wn/spr/08220001.html http://www.sbsheriff.org/wn/spr/08250001.html

Of course, Hollywood's family has been something less than helpful.

My family has been pretty active in helping keep the word out, posting flyers along the route between L.A. and Vegas and talking to the press, including a segment on America's Most Wanted, to no avail.
Anyway, I thought it couldn't hurt to have an extra pair of eyes on the look out. Thanks for indulging me.

Unfortunately, I'm very serious.
This has really torn the family up. And the fact that the killer is still loose is troubling. He is very dangerous.
The whole story, seldom published, plays out like a tragedy. There were a lot of kids that had contact with this group from the time of the kidnapping to the day of the killing, even some teenage girls that knew about their plans but didn't really believe they would do it.
And there would be better pictures of Hollywood if his family cooperated but as you can see from Jamdin's link that is not likely. These kids come from affluent families and they really do tend to protect them, even in those instances where providing such protection may be breaking the law.
Again, my thanks for your time.

I saw the story on TV few week ago and it's really sad and fucked up. Hope they catch whoever is responsible.

I saw the clip on amw a little while ago, I hope that you are able to find the guy

He looks pretty arrogant, so I might guess that his family is hiding him, or that if they are not, he will likely turn up via his own brashness

damn, that's sad http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

What kind of dumbass names his child Jesse James???

They had to know he would grow up to be a criminal.

Sorry to hear that theWatsonian
But I bet that this asshole will be locked up soon.

With your face on tv and your pic spread all on the internet you can't hide long.

Good luck to you and your family

I'm so sorry, my sympathy to your family.

I live in LA, I remember when it happened. I also remember his half-brother (also you're cousin?) speaking on the news and being just absolutely tore up that he was supposedly the one that they were after. I cannot imagine the guilt he will feel for the rest of his life. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

I sincerely hope they catch this shit. I'm, also, glad that his picture is being put out in other parts of the country. I thought it was just going to stay a local thing. Wish they had done it sooner.

aprilkorova, Nick's half-brother is the offspring of his father's previous marriage. He's a troubled young man and no blood of mine. Not to sound cruel or air dirty laundry, but the family has reason to believe that he knew who had kidnapped Nick before the killing and kept out of sight to protect his own hide. We realize that he was scared but it isn't right to let your family be hurt to protect yourself.

theWatsonian, am going to do a little page up
and put it on 3 of my domain's with reward info and links to the write ups.
I get a little over 2k of search engine traffic per day. Maybe some of you people that talk about all the hits you get from search engines will do the same.
Who knows maybe if enough people see it they will eamil, call or write Americas Most Wanted and they'll air it.

I tried to add you to my ICQ but it could not find you.


Jim

jimmyf, thanks! I have been putting it up on a few of my domains as well. America's Most Wanted aired the story late last year, I believe, but the show's results aren't as immediate as we had hoped. Still, reruns can be helpful.

Another story I've been following is the murder of Antelope Valley College student Michelle O?Keefe. She attended my community college around the time she was killed. Her story was also on America's Most Wanted but the killer is still unknown. I remember helping my staff at the college newspaper put together her bio, go through yearbooks and dig up anything that could help, even running the reward notice on the back of each issue, almost a full tab sheet, following the murder. Her family sought the help of psychics, appeared on talk shows and got the reward up to $25,000.00 (don't know what the total is right now) but there are still no leads.

Sometimes people disappear.

Unreal..No leads?? Maybe he went to Mexico?

Someone like him with such a generic whiteboy gangsta look could easly change his look and would be difficult to detect.

But he will eventually have to show up, he cant run forever, and how could he live without getting a job or having a place to stay..

If he is staying with friends, its only a matter of time before one of them turns him in for the $$. Just a matter of time.

All I have to say is if it takes money to find a killer than the state of the world is exactly the way my pessimistic, cynical mind thinks it is.

It wouldn't take a red cent for me to turn that fuck in if I saw him.

And BP is right. He cannot hide forever...or for very much longer. The fact that he has not been caught yet speaks directly to his naive, selfish parents that are obviously funding his run from the law.

May his days be filled with fright and his nights filled with nightmares until he is caught. And then...he has prison in California to look forward to for the rest of his life. Young, white, wannabe gangsters don't last long in Chino *wicked smile*.

And sorry about the sympathetic statement about his half brother. I didn't really feel sorry for him. His lifelong guilt (heartfelt or not) is still jackshit compared to the tragedy he caused.

***UPDATE***
Tonight at 8 p.m. EST/PST, August 2, 2001, Unsolved Mysteries will be running the story. Check your local listings for the Lifetime channel.

That guy is on the main page of the FBI website, right at the top.

The reward is now $30,000?

"The FBI Chats: Jesse James Hollywood

Almost one year ago, Jesse James Hollywood was allegedly involved in the kidnapping and murder of a fifteen-year-old male in California. Recently, law enforcement authorities and the victim's family announced a $30,000 reward. On Thursday, August 2, from 1 - 2 p.m. ET (10 - 11 a.m. PT), join representatives from the FBI's Los Angeles field office in a Chat, as they raise public awareness of this fugitive."

Thanks, Id.
Yeah, the reward is now $30,000.00.
Here is a snippette from the FBI website:

"...$10,000 of this reward is being offered by the family of Nicholas Markowitz. As a compassionate gesture to the Hollywood family, Jeff and Susan Markowitz have offered to place this money in a trust account for the college education of Jesse's younger brother should Jesse choose to surrender to authorities on his own volition."

sorry to hear about your cousin.... i hope they catch that punk

as soon as I read that it was gonna be on Lifetime tonight, I ran and turned on my TV..i missed the first like 3 mins, but I did watch it. (about 10 mins long)

fuckin sent chills up my spine!

I really hope that Jesse James Hollywood will be caught SOON!!! He cant hide forever! Too many people will reconize him now!

Very sorry to hear about your cousin. I hope they find this prick and he gets what's coming to him.

http://www.fbi.gov/mostwant/fugitive...yhollywood.htm

I've seen this case on Americas Most Wanted I believe...... they said that hollywood is one crazy fucker, I semi remember the story

I remember seeing a segment where he is in the kitchen with his friends playing with guns and the one guy just freaks the fuck out (hollywood) for no apparent reason, he's right nuts, hope they catch this fucker

I'll help ya out wats, and put some info on it on RedneckPorn tonight... so it'll see maybe 30k people a day =)

Yeah, I hope they put his punk-ass in jail.

That will wipe that grin off his face...

Hey all. Bringing this one back up because TaDoW was nice enough to run this info on his TGP. The reward is up to $50,000 and the authorities have told us (off the record) that the last sighting put Hollywood in Canada. Obviously he could be anywhere.

Here's the lastest from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's website.

I hope someone finds the POS. You wouldn't need to pay me for the phone call to get me to turn him in...
