Mja Inc Investigations


MJA Profile on : 1980’s Child Serial Killer David E Penton


Mja doesn’t believe that Penton limited him-self to young female victims..


We don’t believe if Penton couldn’t find a young female child victim that he didn’t kill ..


Mja has info Penton would take what ever he could for female victims & that is why some of Pentons confirmed Female Victims range from 18 months old to 16 years old..


Its possible that Penton has at least 2 female victims that are 18 years old..


Penton also claimed he did not rape or kill young boys..That statement is False considering Penton killed his own son..


Texas Law Enforcement collected Info on where to find an item of evidence in Pentons old  home ..


During a search warrant that item was found in the home..


That item of Evidence has several different DNA deposits on it..


One DNA profile found on that item  came from a unknown male…


This item of Evidence is the reason why Texas Officials requested :

 

That the Thorntown Indiana Town Marshal  get DNA samples from  Missing 6 year old  Shannon Sherrill’s Parents..


Shannon went Missing on 10-5-1986 from a Thorntown Indiana Mobil Home Park..


Texas Law Enforcement had collected info from 3 inmate informants that Penton talked about the Shannon Sherrill case..


The DNA results were not a match for Shannon Sherrill


This all happened when Texas gained Info on Penton linking him to 3 Texas cases that Penton ended up Pleading Guilty to all 3 to avoid the death penalty..


Mja gained Info that states :


In some cases Penton would dig a GRAVE then go out an abduct a young female child..Then bring the victim alive back  to the GRAVE where he would rape & murder & bury them..


Mja Case & Suspect Profiler believes :


Penton started his crimes against female children while in the Armed Forces stationed Over-Sea’s from 1981 to 1983..


The country Penton was stationed in had area’s that had an Under Ground Sex Trade involving female children as young as 5 years old..


Our Profiler believes :


This is where Penton required his need for raping & killing young female children..


After Penton was confirmed a convicted child serial killer :


Many U.S.Police agencies contacted this country Penton was stationed in trying to find out if there were any unsolved female children cases in that country that would fit Pentons M.O..


These U.S Police agencies were shocked when they learned that this country didn’t keep records for such crimes against the sex trade children--No matter what their age..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2007, authorities announced they considered David Elliot Penton a person of interest in the disappearances and murders of several other young girls..


Penton has been incarcerated in an Ohio prison since 1988...


He also signed a plea agreement admitting to the murders of three girls in Texas...


The Texas victims disappeared in the Dallas area & ranged in age from 4 to 10 years old..


Penton was also convicted of manslaughter in the child abuse death of his own infant son in 1984..


But Penton fled while free on a appeal bond concerning that case & remained at large until 1988..


Thats when Penton was charged with the murder of a friend's 9-year-old niece Nydra Ross in Ohio & he was later convicted of this crime...


Penton's cellmates went to investigators & claimed he had implicated himself in the disappearances of  Crum & Gandara & Johnson..


He has not been charged in connection with any of these disappearances..


But all the cases remain unsolved...

NEW CHARGES


Mark Harper  a private investigator close to the case,said officials in Pennsylvania,Arkansas, Alabama,Michigan,Georgia and several other states are also looking at Penton as a possible person of interest...


Penton is also a suspect in the abduction of 6-year-old Shannon Marie Sherrill,who was last seen in Thorntown, Ind., playing hide and seek with friends on Oct. 5, 1986..


Harper was hired by the Sherrill family to investigate the abduction of their child after the case by law enforcement stalled..


Penton is scheduled to be extradited to Indiana later this month to face charges in the case..

.

“I believe this guy may be responsible for an enormous number of missing girls and although I was hired by the Sherrill family to find their daughter’s killer, I want every case this monster might have beeninvolved in solved before he dies,” he said. “I want these families to have some closure as to what happened to their children.”


Harper has worked with detectives across the country including Gary Sweet and the two men have shared a wealth of information regarding Penton..


Sweet said after interviewing Penton and his cellmates he knew about the Johnson case and he is now working with Dickerson and Fitzgerald and the three lawmen are sharing information..


“It’s my belief that Penton is their guy,” Sweet said..


“I feel pretty certain he is responsible for Ara’s abduction...

The Ohio Inmate Informant was convicted of raping two children & is presently incarcerated in an Ohio prison, serving a fifty-year sentence...His first possible parole date is not until 2014..


The inmate informant has a reputation for providing credible information on unsolved murders...His tips to investigators lead to the indictment of a suspected child serial killer David E Penton..

Mja contacted the Thorntown Marshal several times about the inmate informant's letter..Mja even told the Marshal that if he couldnt go to Ohio to interview the Inmate Informant Mja would..Mja made it plain & clear that this inmate informant needed to be interviewed..


When June 2006 came around & the Thorntown Marshal had not done anything about the letter :


Mja and the Sherrill Family had no choice but to release the Info to the public..

On June 27 1985 Jennifer Day's body was found hidden in tall grass in Plano Texas...The 14 year old had been stabbed several times in the throat...


As of April 2004, her murder remains unsolved...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MJA NOTE :


We understand that the way Jennifer Day was killed is different from Pentons usual M.O...But there could be several reasons why its different..


Its also been proven that Penton had a favorite method of how he killed & what evidence would be found but he didnt use this method every time..


There could also be details about the case police didnt release to the media that would fit Penton as the Prime suspect in this case..


There are several factors that points to Penton as a possible suspect including the area's in question..


The area where Jennifer Day disappeared from & the area where her body was discovered was a Hunting Ground for Penton..

Mja Inc Investigations


Mja gained Info in 2006 & 2007 about the case file below..


The Info given :


Research Baytown Texas from 1984 to 1986 --9 to 12 year old Female Victims found raped & murdered..Using Pentons “ Pet “ M.O…


Penton use to brag & laugh about this case because Police had arrested a teenage boy for the crime..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mja research found such a case that fits this Info that was given & we contacted Texas Law Enforcement..


Due to the on going investigation & legal issues Mja cant release the Victims name or the name of the teenager arrested for the crime..


The text below is the Facts of the case that we can release :


Baytown Texas 9 to 12 year old Female Victim found dead in a shallow grave in a small pocket of woods..


The young Female Victim had been Raped & the Cause Of  Death--Pentons “Pet” M.O. was suffication-stranglation…


The item used as the murder weapon was : Recovered..


The young Female Victim was found by a 16 year old boy who had mental impairment who was riding his bike down a path in the woods..


Weeks later the 16 year old boy with the mental impairment who had found her body was arrested for the crime & confessed..


It became clear that the Detectives guided & suggested the 16 year old boy answer the questions the way it was needed to sound like a confession..


Even though the Details & Confession to the crime was in question & there was NO PHYSICAL or FORENSIC EVIDENCE linking the 16 year old boy to the crime :


The Prosecutor still went ahead with the case & got a CONVICTION..


The 16 old boy with a mental impairment was sentenced  to “ Life with the chance of Parole “..


After spending 12 years locked up & with a Parole Hearing approaching..


The Inmate waived his Parole Hearing stating he could not be released yet he had to finish his College Education..


Once again making such a statement & waiving a Parole Hearing should be a Red Flag that his mental logic thinking isn’t there..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MJA NOTE :


Mja strongly feels that the 16 year old boy with the mental impairment did not do this

crime & David E Penton is the Guilty one..


The factors that leads Mja to state this is :


The Info given to Mja to research turned out to be true & confirmed…


The young Female Victim was killed in the manner using Pentons “Pet” M.O. even the same type of murder weapon was used..


The item used for the Suffication & Stranglation Death comes in a pair..


The other item part of the pair was never found..


During a search of the suspects home No items were found that matches the item used as the murder weapon…
