    251. “Fugitive” - The Case of Ivora “Ivory” Huntley - Oakland, California - [ Part 1 of 2]

    A twice convicted murderer, an alias, and a fugitive on the run.  In 2002, Ivora “Ivory” Huntley was murdered in Oakland, California after stepping in to protect a friend from an abusive boyfriend. The man accused of killing her, DeMorris Hunter, disappeared.  Months later and nearly 3,000 miles away, another woman was murdered. As investigators began piecing together the connections between the two cases, they uncovered a disturbing history of violence dating back nearly two decades — and discovered the man they were looking for was living under an alias.  SOURCES: Convicted killer DeMorris Hunter sentenced to death for 2002 Orlando murder DEFENDANT SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR 2002 MURDER OF THERESA GREEN - Office of The State Attorney, Fifth Judicial Circuit, Florida FL v.
