Fatal
Journey
by Jack Gieck "Monster!" That's the word people in Klamath
Falls, Oregon, used to describe Jesse Pratt. The would-be macho
trucker and sometime pimp was so threatening, even his own
mother was terrified of him. Obsessed with his secretary, Carrie
Love, 20, Pratt alternately charmed and stalked her. When she
resisted he forced her to accompany him on a business trip,
where he raped her, then stabbed her to death. To hide her
identity, he ran over her body with his tractor/trailer. The
provided forensic scientists with enough evidence to put him
on death row. Using meticulous analysis, gathering the tiniest
of clues, a top team of detectives put together a case against
Pratt. |

claims growth in the 1990's of the drug trade in Mexico, and
in Baja California, was spurred by an American success story.
When the DEA blocked Florida as the prime highway for cocaine,
the Colombian cartels expanded partnerships with their old friends
in Mexico, who offered a network established through their traditional
traffic in heroin and marijuana and a long, vulnerable land border
with the US.
