    Ca. man pleads not guilty to strangling girlfriend

    A registered sex offender charged with strangling his girlfriend and driving to a Southern California sheriff's station with her body in his trunk has pleaded not guilty to murder.

    Thirty-year-old Jason Richard Budrow entered the plea in a Riverside County court on Friday.

    Budrow is charged with murder and a special circumstance of lying in wait, making him eligible for the death penalty.

    Authorities say Budrow appeared at the Lake Elsinore sheriff's station on Oct. 22 with the body of the woman he had been dating—48-year-old Margret Dalton of Perris—in the trunk.

    In a jailhouse interview with the Riverside Press-Enterprise shortly after his arrest, Budrow said he had to kill Dalton because he feared she was a police informant.

    He is being held without bail.

    Man Pleads Guilty To Killing Woman he Brought to Sheriff's Lake Elsinore Station

    A 31-year-old man who brought a dead woman’s body to the sheriff’s Lake Elsinore substation in the trunk of her own vehicle pleaded guilty to murder Wednesday.

    Jason Richard Budrow, of Good Hope, entered his guilty plea a day before he was to have a two-hour preliminary hearing.

    He was immediately sentenced to two consecutive life terms, without the possibility of parole because of a prior strike conviction, under the California “Three Strikes Law.”

    In addition to the murder charge, Budrow admitted an allegation of special circumstances in the killing, and a prior felony conviction.

    In 2003, Budrow was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and sentenced to three years in state prison, according to court records.

    According to prosecutors, Budrow flagged down a Riverside County sheriff’s sergeant as the deputy walked out of the Lake Elsinore substation about 7:15 a.m., Oct. 22.

    “Budrow told the sergeant he had killed a woman and her body was in the trunk of the car,” according to John Hall, information officer for the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.

    “The sergeant immediately detained Budrow,” said Hall.

    Once investigators determined there was a body in the trunk of the vehicle, Budrow was taken into custody, Hall said.

    Investigators subsequently determined that Margaret Dalton, 48, had been killed in a trailer off Highway 74, in Good Hope.

    Budrow had been living in the trailer.

    An autopsy revealed that Dalton had been strangled with some sort of cord, Hall said.

    Budrow, who had been acquainted with the victim for about six months, had asked Dalton over that night, with the intention of killing her, authorities said.

    The defendant reportedly believed that Dalton was a police informant.

    At the time of his arrest, Budrow was on parole from state prison, where he had been sent after violating parole for his sex conviction.

    “He was required to , as a sex offender and had a GPS tracking device which he cut off his ankle at the Lake Elsinore Outlets, prior to going to the sheriff’s station with Dalton’s body,” Hall said.

    The lying-in-wait special circumstance allegations could have gotten him he death penalty had the case gone to trial.

    Prosecutor won’t seek death penalty for inmate who admitted he killed the ‘I-5 Strangler’

    By Ryan Sabalow
    Sacramento Bee

    Prosecutors won’t seek the death penalty for the man accused of strangling Roger Kibbe, the serial killer known as the “I-5 Strangler,” in his prison cell.

    Amador County District Attorney Todd Riebe said Wednesday he filed formal first-degree murder charges against Kibbe’s cellmate, Jason Budrow, a 40-year-old convicted murderer out of Riverside County.

    Riebe said he’d seek life without possibility of parole and forgo a death penalty trial for Budrow.

    There hasn’t been an execution in California since 2006, and Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a moratorium on capital punishment after he was elected in 2018.

    At 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 28, a guard conducting a headcount at Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County found Kibbe, 81, lying on the floor of his cell. Budrow was standing over him, prison officials said. An autopsy revealed Kibbe had been strangled.

    Budrow, a self described Satanist and sex offender with a "666" tattoo over his right eyebrow, was convicted in 2011 of strangling his then-girlfriend in Riverside County.

    The woman was able to escape and flag down a passing police officer, who spotted Kibbe throwing a bag out the window when the officer pulled him over.
    In the bag was a garrote fashioned out of a pair of dowels and some parachute cord, a pair of scissors, a sex toy, some women’s hair ties and a set of handcuffs, detectives said.

    The evidence in the bag proved critical to securing Kibbe’s conviction for Frackenpohl’s murder.

    Later, DNA evidence linked Kibbe to two other murders, and he confessed to four more in exchange for prosecutors not seeking the death penalty.

    His other victims included Lou Ellen Burleigh of Walnut Creek in 1977 and the 1986 murders of Stephanie Brown, 19, of Sacramento; Charmaine Sabrah, 26, a mother of three from Sacramento; Lora Heedrick, 21, of Modesto; Katherine Kelly Quinones, 25, of Sacramento, and Barbara Ann Scott, 29 who was kidnapped in Pittsburg.

    Kibbe was dubbed the I-5 Strangler because some of his victims were abducted from their cars and their bodies dumped along highways. He was known for leaving his signature — random cuts on the women’s clothing using scissors.

    Inmate suspected in prison attack on Kristin Smart’s killer previously murdered ‘I-5 Strangler’

    The Associated Press

    COALINGA, Calif. (AP) — A California inmate accused of attacking Paul Flores this summer, shortly after Flores reported to prison to serve his conviction for murdering college student Kristin Smart, strangled his serial killer cellmate two years ago, officials said.

    The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation this week identified inmate Jason Budrow as the suspect in the Aug. 23 attack on Flores at the Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, about 185 miles (300 kilometers) north of downtown Los Angeles.

    The department declined to share information about how Budrow allegedly was able to get to Flores or whether it is investigating how the attack happened on the agency’s watch in light of Budrow’s previous behavior while incarcerated.

    “CDCR is limited in the amount of information it can provide on incarcerated people’s housing for safety and security reasons,” the agency said in an email.

    Budrow is serving life without parole for fatally strangling his girlfriend in 2010 in Riverside County. In a jailhouse interview that year with The Press-Examiner, he described himself as a “Satanist” and sported a “666” tattoo above his right eye. He also was convicted in 2006 of sexually assaulting a teenager.

    In 2021, Budrow strangled his new cellmate, serial killer Roger Reece Kibbe, who was known as the I-5 Strangler in the 1970s and 1980s. Kibbe strangled and raped at least seven women — several of them in the Sacramento and Stockton areas along Interstate 5 — and cut his victims’ clothing into odd patterns.

    The killing of Kibbe in Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of Sacramento, earned Budrow another consecutive life sentence. An autopsy revealed that Budrow, then 40, strangled the 81-year-old Kibbe in their cell.

    In a letter to The San Jose Mercury News, Budrow wrote that he killed Kibbe on the day they became cellmates, though he had planned the murder for months after he saw a TV special about him and had sought to share a cell so he could carry it out. Budrow wrote that although he wanted a single cell, he was on “a mission for avenging” Kibbe’s victims.

    Budrow told the newspaper that he had carved “a crude inverted pentagram” into Kibbe’s body.

    He was put into the prison’s Administrative Segregation Unit — a single-person cell, like he wanted — before being transferred to Pleasant Valley. Budrow was placed in restrictive housing there, which under state law is reserved for prisoners who “may pose a risk to others or to themselves, or whose behavior disrupts the safe and orderly functioning of the facility,” according to the corrections department.

    The state would not say whether Flores was also in restricted housing at the time of the attack, which occurred somewhere between the recreational yard and the medical clinic. Authorities also haven’t disclosed a possible motive.

    Flores was hospitalized in serious condition for two days before he was returned to the prison, state officials said. After the attack, Budrow was found near the scene with some sort of prison-made weapon and surrendered to prison staff, authorities said.

    Prison officials have recommended that prosecutors charge Budrow in the attack on Flores. The Fresno County district attorney’s office has not yet been given the case for review, spokesperson Taylor Long said in an email Friday afternoon.

    Flores was only transferred to Pleasant Valley the week before the attack to serve his sentence of 25 years to life in prison for killing Smart. His attorney, Harold Mesick, didn’t immediately respond to a Friday request for comment.

    Smart, then 19, disappeared from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo on the state’s scenic Central Coast over Memorial Day weekend in 1996. Her remains have never been found, but she was declared legally dead in 2002.

    Prosecutors say Flores killed Smart during an attempted rape on May 25, 1996, in his dorm room at the university, where they were first-year students. He was the last person seen with Smart as he walked her home from an off-campus party.

    Flores was arrested in 2021 along with his father, who was accused of helping to hide Smart’s body. Flores was convicted of first-degree murder last year. A separate jury acquitted his father, Ruben Flores, of being an accessory after the fact.
