Keith Gross was 24 and lived in Fort Lauderdale when he was found murdered in his Sunrise Boulevard apartment on September 9, 2002. He worked at Kitchens to Go and had a short stint in the Army; he was expected to meet his employer, Ken Walker, that evening to watch a Dolphins game but never arrived. Walker checked Gross’s apartment the next day, looked through a window, and discovered Gross’ body.

The crime scene was described as brutal: Gross had been raped, hogtied, and killed. A T-shirt had been tied around his neck and his throat had been slit with a blade. Jones had a long criminal record and was later convicted of other murders in Tennessee and Florida. It is unclear from this account whether Jones was ever formally charged or tried in Florida for Gross’ murder.

Does anyone who knew Keith or saw him in Fort Lauderdale in late summer 2002 have information that could help explain what happened that night?
