Postal worker Lori McRae was reported missing after she left her night-shift job early on the morning of Jan. 30, 1995. She had last been seen at a Walgreen's Drug Store in the Cedar Hills shopping center. Jones later was stopped and arrested while driving McRae's vehicle. He later confessed and told where he had left the body. Tried and convicted, Jones received a death sentence after the jury recommended it 9-to-3. This is his direct appeal.
