Carroll Jackson, his wife Mildred and their daughters 18-month-old Janet and 4-year-old Susan are killed by 26-year-old serial killer Melvin Rees aka The Sex Beast in Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States.

On 4 March two men gathering brush discovered the decomposing body of Jackson in a ditch. He had been shot in the back of the head. His hands were also tied behind his back. Upon recovering the body, police discovered that Carroll had been dumped over that of eighteen-month-old Janet; it was later determined that the child had been dumped alive in the ditch before her father, and had suffocated under the weight of his body. On 21 March the bodies of Mildred and Susan were discovered in a forest near Annapolis showing signs of torture and pre-mortem sexual assault.
