True Crime Vault: Overboard
Tom and Jackie Hawks, were in the process of selling the vessel to this other couple, Skylar and Jennifer DeLeon. We ran both of them to figure out, because they were probably or potentially the last people to see the Hawks. When we ran Skylar, we automatically find out that he's got a record.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He had done jail time for an armed burglary, where he broke into a house with a weapon, and he was on probation.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Newport Beach is the dream that a lot of people think of when they think of California.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He said he was Marine Corps Force Recon, which for those who don't know, is one of the elite military forces in the United States military. He got a Marine Corps Force Recon tattoo.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He would explain that he had attended all these classes and all this training and he had, you know, 62 confirmed kills.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We get a search warrant to look at the boat, and they find a bunch of things that are of interest, but they find that, number one, it's messy, so Tom Hawks has not left it that way. and they find a receipt from a Target store.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
It's one of the few places in the United States that you can buy a multi-million dollar home and have a dock ready to accommodate a 50-, 60-, 100-foot yacht. Oh, yeah.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
If I was going to kill somebody, you know, I'd have my clean kit, and it would be bags to get rid of evidence, you know, bleach to wipe down the scene, and maybe if I had a conscience, some Tums to settle my stomach after killing some poor people. Target security was able to pull up that specific purchase of these items.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And I was looking at an obese man, which was not Skyler DeLeon. Now we have another little straw on the camel's back saying, okay, who is this guy? And why is this receipt on this boat? And who is this clown?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
They find a receipt from a Target store. And every time you purchase anything from a Target store, You're photographed at the cash register and you're photographed leaving. So we get this photograph of this guy and police trace it back. And it is Steve Henderson, Jennifer's father, who actually made this purchase.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
So Newport detectives go to his house in Long Beach and they say, is this you in this photograph buying these items? We found this receipt on a boat. He immediately says, yeah, my daughter and son-in-law purchased that boat.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He says, they're helping to clean a church right down the street. I think they're there now.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
When I see a family volunteering in a church... I was put at ease a little bit with that, thinking, okay, this is gonna turn out okay. The Hawks are fine. These people will tell us what happened and then we'll be able to locate them and close the case. I was talking to Jennifer and basically said, we're looking for the Hawks. The family's very concerned. And she said, we're really concerned too.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
She goes, we've been trying to reach out to them continually since we bought it. They have a lot of property, clothes and stuff on the vessel. We don't know what to do. She was very specific and seemed very genuine in her concern for the hawks and finding them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler says, we purchased it. All the documents were proper. They signed them. We recorded them. I don't know what else to tell you.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We told Skyler that we needed copies of the paperwork. He told us that he had certified notarized paperwork regarding the sale, so the sale was legitimate.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He produces these documents indicating that Skyler and Jennifer had purchased the boat from Tom and Jackie Hawks. There are signatures on it. There are fingerprints on it.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I was shaking my head going, okay, I still can't get a handle on this guy. The following day, he agreed to go to the Newport Beach Police Department where we had him in a proper interview and recorded the interview. Go down and see Scott. We're still in the same position where we were yesterday. These folks are still missing. Family is very concerned, and that's understandable.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Schuyler was very forthright. He was very, very interested in finding where the hawks were. How did you hear about the vessel being
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Of course, one of the big questions is, well, hey, man, where did you get the money? And he goes, look, as you look into my background, you're going to see I was involved in a burglary. In reality, that was a part of a dope rip. That was a drug ripoff.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
At this point, I already knew Skyler was on probation for an armed burglary, so he's a felon. And now he said, I'm telling you, Sergeant, I want to go straight with my family. I'm a father now. I have another child on the way. So I'm trying to invest this money in a way that I can support them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I go, so you're legitimizing this money that was illegal. And he copped out basically to money laundering.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
You didn't have to. You could have told me, hey, man, you know, I inherited the money. I did whatever. You were very honest with me, and that's all I'm asking for.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I was asking, what kind of container was this money in? Was it loose bills? Was it, you know, all hundreds? They're all $100 bills?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And I just know working narcotics, it was just a mishmash of cash. It was never something where you'd go into a bank vault and see perfectly stacked thousands of dollars in bank wrappers. So that kind of raised a flag. You flashed the cash to them? Yeah. Did you just open the briefcase or did you give it to them?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler was very descriptive on Tom's reaction when he opened the briefcase, and it was full of cash.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
According to Skyler, Tom asked him, is it all here? Skyler kind of giggled at me and said, yep, it's all there. And so they basically said, here's the keys to the yacht. Tom and Jackie drove off in their Honda. And Scott and Jennifer said that was the last time that they saw them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Hey, I'm the captain of this boat. They were talking about buying a home in New Mexico, and we corroborated that from other sources. Tom was interested in that. Skyler, you got nothing to do with his disappearance, right?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And your wife doesn't either? No. Nobody in your family, your dad, nobody, right?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
When you look at the interview, Skyler is leaning over to these detectives, and he is so convincing.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Why is it you guys have power of attorney? This is a big stumbling point for the family. They said that there's no way that their family members would give power of attorney to anybody. Power of attorney, that was a pretty powerful document because what I was looking at was that Tom and Jaggy Hawks had basically gave Skyler DeLeon complete control of their assets, which made absolutely no sense.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Jennifer and Skylar walk in, and they have this durable power of attorney. So the bank manager looks at this. It's been properly recorded. Their signatures are on it, it's been properly notarized, and takes one look at it and goes, no way am I giving you access to their accounts.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Go down and see Skyler. I'm going to borrow you for a little bit because I had to go over a few more questions on this thing. Why is it you guys have power of attorney?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Scott had volunteered that he was very experienced in purchasing property there and that he had dual citizenship, he was of Mexican descent, and that he could facilitate a sale. Since he was giving him such a great deal on the yacht, he would help him out get this money. And Scott had proceeded to tell us that Tom was very interested
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We talked to friends and family of Tom and Jackie Ox. Sure enough, Tom had been talking to people about buying a little house in the Sea of Cortez.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Alonzo Machain, his name was there in full print as a witness on this bill of sale. And when I asked Skylar who is Alonzo Machain, he says, oh, he's a friend of mine that I've met, and he's from Mexico. Well, our investigation shows that Alonzo happened to meet Skylar while Skylar was doing jail time.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I'm going to be confident with Alonso because he's also one of the last people to see them, so that helps us. Okay, good. Yeah, that's fine.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
They go and they interview Alonso, and Alonso tells essentially the same story. We're there in the parking lot. I watch Skylar hand this money over to this guy. They drive out in their car. The other person they interviewed was Kathleen Harris. Kathleen Harris, she was a professional notary, never been in trouble a day in her life, and she told a very similar story. They were down there.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
She watched this transaction. She notarized the documents. We hit a dead end in this investigation. We had a group of people who were all telling the same story. We had no physical evidence of a crime. We had no word from Tom and Jackie Hawks. We had no break in the case at all. Brother, I don't want to keep here anymore. I appreciate you driving down here.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I was so relieved. I was overwhelmed and choked up. Please be the Hawks. I want to find them alive. I'm thinking, okay, let's get down it right away. If I was going to kill somebody, you know, I'd have my clean kit, bags to get rid of evidence, bleach to wipe down the scene, and maybe if I had a conscience, some tums to settle my stomach after killing some poor people.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar says, look, I purchased this boat, and I don't know what else to tell you.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We'd been in a dead end for weeks, and we made the decision that we needed to get some media attention to the case.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
But the couple's car was missing. We're splashing the license plate, the vehicle description, the picture of the Hawks everywhere we could.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And what Skyler says is, look, I bought the boat from these people, and last I saw was they were leaving the parking lot with a suitcase full of cash that I paid them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We get a call from a retired couple that lived in San Miguel, Mexico.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
It's right there. And she snapped a photograph of it and sent it to us. And here we are looking at the Hawk's vehicle.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
They're speaking in Spanish, but I'm making enough out of what's going on.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And I go... And at that moment, then I just said, ugh. Any possibility that the Hawks were still alive died right there, unfortunately, because as soon as I heard that, I go, yeah.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler had befriended this gentleman's son years earlier. And Skyler was an avid surfer. He would go down and surf, and he would stay with that family.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
That family had no idea who that car belonged to or the circumstances.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
This is the big urgency we have right now. These people are still missing. I'm fearful that they're not alive.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Newport detectives wanted to interview him as much as possible because this story was starting to fray around the edges.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
You're saying you have nothing to do with their disappearance? No. You, as far as you know, they're alive?
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And what you've told us so far is the truth regarding you getting money smuggled up here? No.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
One of the first things detectives find is they find Tom and Jackie's laptop.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
The film that was in it was of all the Hawks' adventures out at sea, and then it abruptly ends.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar and Jennifer were using Tom and Jackie's camcorder to record their family Thanksgiving.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
A fellow detective of mine, Jay Short, had found a business card. An LAPD officer named Joe Bahena. He's a detective assigned to Interpol. And basically it's his job whenever there's a crime committed that the Mexican police need to investigate. He's their liaison officer. I was curious to us why Skyler DeLeon had this business card in his property. That's an interesting clue.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Why is your business card in the home of our suspect? And that's when we first heard the name John Jarvie.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
All John Jarvie needs to do is give Skyler $50,000 in cash. And then they'll go down to Mexico, do this big score.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
and they drive down to Mexico, outside of Ensenada. Except John Jarvie didn't come back.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
The other person they interviewed was Kathleen Harris. Kathleen Harris had no criminal background at all. She was a professional notary, never been in trouble a day in her life.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Tom had outfitted this vessel with everything. Inside was beautiful teak. It was immaculate.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
There's no way Kathleen Harris saw Tom and Jackie Hawks. We had interviewed Kathleen Harris, I want to say, four or five times, and she would not come off her story.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
I remember Keith coming out saying, I'm sorry. And I'm thinking, are you kidding me? I go, I think you pushed her. I think we got her. The next call we got was from an attorney representing her saying that she wanted to come in and make a statement.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
She'd never met Tom and Jackie Hawks. She was given documents and paid in cash to backdate the documents. And that was one of the most significant breaks we had in the investigation because now we knew Skylar and Jennifer never had that notarized with Tom and Jackie and that that was false.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
That was the first domino to fall. Then we started pressuring everybody else because we knew everybody else had lied to us too.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Good morning, Alonzo. Good morning. We just want to know what you know. Alonzo Machain was actually a jailer in the Sioux Beach City Jail where Skyler was serving time, so that's how they meet.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We focused on Alonzo because we thought he would be a weakling too.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He turned himself in and Alonzo Machain took us detail by detail through the conspiracy to murder Tom and Jackie Hawks.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler tells him that he's an international hitman. He gets his contracts out on people and they're all bad people because he'll only kill bad people. He won't kill good people. So he's an assassin with, you know, with a conscience.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
So what does Skyler do to solve that problem? He immediately calls Jennifer and says, you've got to bring Haley down, their one-year-old, and put these people at ease.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
That's actually the linchpin in the whole thing. Had it not been for that, Tom and Jackie Hawks would still be alive today.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar realizes if they're going to actually pull this thing off, they need to get a big guy to sign on to this.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an original founding member of the Long Beach Insane Crips. So he became the muscle in this whole scheme.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar and John Kennedy went downstairs with Tom Hawks. Meanwhile, Jackie's in the kitchen, and she hears this ruckus.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He was able to restrain Tom Hawks long enough to get him handcuffed. Meanwhile, it's Alonzo's job to subdue Jackie Hawks.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Jackie's here, Alonzo's here, and then that's where Thomas Hawks, Skyler, and Jeff Care are on the bottom. And Jackie hears the commotion, she looks down this way, and this is where Alonzo overpowers her.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
It curves down here to put her at ease. I don't like being down here. It's one of the most poignant things I've ever heard in my career. It's okay, sweetheart. We're going to be together. Where we're going, we're going to be together.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And it looked like somebody went back later and put in an S totally inconsistent with any way she'd ever signed her name. This is a woman who knows that she is going to her death. This is a woman who knows that she is about to be murdered. And she is sending this flare up into the future for somebody to make it right.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler stands up with his smirk, tosses his huge anchor off the side of the boat.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Decides he's going to fish on the way back to Newport Harbor. John F. Kennedy took a beer from the Hawks' fridge.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Once Skylar was arrested, Jennifer was still out of custody. We still really didn't have enough information or evidence against her to prosecute her on much of anything at that point.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We extended immunity to Jennifer. We said, look, Tell us what happened.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
They almost completed each other. Jennifer and Skylar, before they met, hadn't committed any crimes that we're aware of really as individuals. But when they met, it was like fire and gasoline.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
The first person to go on trial was Jennifer DeLeon, and I think that she was still operating under the belief that she could blame Skyler for everything that had happened.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler did not make a move without running it by Jennifer. At every significant event during the murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks, he called Jennifer. They get down to Newport Beach, he calls Jennifer. They get on the boat out to sea, he calls Jennifer. They get out where they tied Tom and Jackie Hawks to that anchor begging for their lives, first thing Skyler did is call Jennifer.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
That woman was physically not on the boat during the murders, but she was absolutely on the boat with guidance in spirit.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
And her whole defense was she was terrified of Skylar. She only went along with it because she was afraid that Skylar might kill her too. And she has a gigantic grin on her face, the look of a woman whose financial problems and debt problems are about to be solved, not somebody that's afraid of the man that she's with.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
She was convicted of the murders of Tom and Jackie Hawks and received a sentence of life without possibility of parole.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
During the investigation, there were some points that came up where Schuyler's gender identity was questioned, that he believes he was transgender, and that that was possibly a motive for not only the Jarvee homicide, but the Hawks homicide to facilitate payment for his transgender surgery.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Jackie was involved in a motorcycle accident when she was 22 years old and had some internal damage and tragically was unable to have children of her own. When her stepson, Matt, had that baby, she really wanted to play the role of devoted grandmother.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We found actually a receipt where Skylar had paid $500 to a surgeon who specialized in gender reassignment surgery.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
To my surprise, when Skyler's attorney got up, he went to him. large flip chart.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
In my 26-year career as a prosecutor, Skyler DeLeon is the best liar that I've ever seen. For example, he said he was a Marine Corps force recon.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar was convicted of the murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks, and also John Jardy.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skylar DeLeon and John Fitzgerald Kennedy received the death penalty and are on death row. Jennifer DeLeon received two life sentences in her involvement and she's in prison now.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
We decided that a 20-year sentence was appropriate for him, given his cooperation, given his instrumental role in the prosecution of all these other people that were involved in the conspiracy.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Justice was served because these people were found guilty, but it's never a win because Ryan and Matt lost their parents. Mrs. Jarvie lost her son. And now that the governor has taken the death penalty off the table, you know, they're getting three squares a day and living their life. So I have really mixed feelings on that.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
He's receiving hormones on the state tax dollars. I think he's petitioned to have the surgery done. But you shouldn't be rewarded for brutally murdering three people so you can get your way. Any chance they get to
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
this case is probably the one of the few that just sheer evil is involved i was a prosecutor for 26 years this is a case i will personally never forget they're evil personified scariest people i've ever met i had a recurring nightmare for years where schuyler is running and i've got to chase him and tackle him and it's uh one of the most gratifying things in my career to have jury
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
make the right call, and not just once, not just twice, but three times, with Jennifer, with Skylar, and with John Kennedy.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
So after this last Catalina cruise, Tom and Jackie had told Jim Hawks and other people that the sale was going to take place in the next few days.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
That's what they were hoping to do. They believed that they had found a buyer to the boat, that they had essentially gotten the price that they wanted.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Before you sell a vessel, they take a sea trial. They take the vessel out. It's like a test run in a car.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Rocking and rolling on a well-deserved. She left a voicemail. It basically said that Tom and Jackie were out at sea with the purchaser and that she'd get back to them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Patricia Schutz, who they'd put in charge of essentially paying their bills and taking care of their finances while they were down in Mexico. Because during this time, way harder to deal with that from a foreign country, especially on a boat, which may or may not have internet access.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Jeez. Okay, well, this doesn't sound good right now. It became more and more sinister in the fact that nobody heard from them.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
This couple, Tom and Jackie Hawks, had lived on their yacht in Newport, were in the process of selling or sold the vessel to this other couple, Skylar and Jennifer DeLeon.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Overboard
Skyler happens to be a convicted felon. He's on probation. I go, geez. So my first indication, okay, well, this doesn't sound good right now.

Mr. Guidry was concerned about Stephanie being missing. Whenever we put forth the question, if Wayne Jr. did something to her in the wildlife management area, what would he have done with her?
