Skylar Deleon : Former Power Ranger’s Actor Sentenced to Death in Yacht Murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks

At last, Skylar Deleon, 29 years old part time Power Ranger was sentenced to death for his 2004 yacht murders of Tom and Jackie Hawks. Orange Country Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel handed down the death penalty. Tom and Jackie Hawks, the retired Arizona couple, were murdered by Skylar Deleon as he tied them to the anchor of their own yacht and threw them into the sea. The poor couple bodies were never found. May God Bless them.

Tom and Jackie Hawks, who turned up missing in November 2004, shortly after posting an ad to sell their home, a 55-foot yacht they called Well Deserved. Skylar and his young, pregnant wife, posing as buyers, answered the ad. After gaining their trust, Skylar arranged to return to the boat with a few associates to take the Well Deserved for a test ride.

But while at sea, Skylar used a taser to overpower the couple, then handcuffed them and held them at gun point while forcing them to sign a document transferring the boat title and power of attorney to Skylar.

With the help of associates Alonso Machain and John Kennedy, Skylar then tied the couple to one of the boat's anchors and, while Jackie tearfully begged for their lives, dropped the anchor overboard. The couple was hurled overboard and sank to their deaths.

Skylar, an unemployed bit-part actor, and his wife, a hair dresser, insisted they bought the boat and the Hawks drove off to Mexico. The Hawks' loving family knew their relatives—responsible, respectable, outgoing people—would never drop out of touch. They assumed the worst. And that worst was confirmed when accomplice McCain, a guy more dumb and naive than evil, confessed to police.

Prosecutors say the Long Beach man and a teen actor in a “Power Rangers” TV series feigned interest in buying the couple’s yacht and killed them during a test cruise in 2004. Deleon overpowered them on a test cruise, tied them to an anchor and tossed them into the Pacific Ocean as they begged for their lives, according to the prosecution. After the yacht killings, the prosecution said, Deleon and his then-wife Jennifer Henderson scrubbed the boat clean with bleach wipes in Newport Harbor.

The Orange County jury also recommended the death penalty for John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 43-year-old Long Beach gang member convicted of helping Deleon kill the Hawks. Deleon’s ex-wife, Jennifer Deleon, was found guilty by a jury in 2006.

A jury has also recommended death for John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 43-year-old Long Beach gang member convicted of helping Deleon throw the Hawkses off their 55-foot yacht, named the “Well-Deserved.”

What the hell is happening in this world? People are more that willing to do anything for their own desire and greed.
