Scott Erskine, who was on death row for the gruesome 1993 abduction and murder of 13-year-old Charlie Keever and his 9-year-old friend Jonathan Sellers — in a case that haunted the county for almost a decade before it was solved — died this week from what prison officials said appear to be complications from COVID-19.
The boys were friends who had left their homes for a bike ride when Erskine intercepted them. Many details of their deaths were revealed later in court, but it remains a mystery how Erskine lured the boys to the secluded spot. Erskine went on trial in 2002 for the murders, and after two penalty phases — the first jury could not decide on death or life with no parole — he was sent to death row in September 2004.Both mothers grimly sat through years of hearings, listening to details of how their children died. On Friday Maria Keever said she was shocked when she first heard the news of Erskine’s death from a corrections official in the morning.
The mothers started the Jonathan Sellers and Charlie Keever Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting child safety and well-being, preventing child abduction and exploitation, and providing support to families who have lost a loved one to violence.
God is just
It’s kind of amazing that he just happened to be part of the 1% that actually get sick from this. The 99% of us are all safe. MoronLogic
Nice!
Good he died
Great news! Hope he suffered.
The World of MYSTERY.
I pray it was painful
Thank you Covid-19. Justic is finally served.
Good.
Yay!
Everyone that is praising this death regardless of how you feel he deserved it is the real problem. Those that are taking joy in it you take joy in death and are part of the problem in the world just as much as he was
Who gives a shit.
Better release all the death row inmates before they all die of covid
yay covid
Rot in hell
Way to go Covid!
👍🏻
Next!
Well, isn't that convenient!
Death becomes him
Hopefully it was slow and painful.
That’s to bad
let covid do it’s magic
Oh the irony.
I didn't know a symptom of Covid was getting knifed in the showers.
Got 'er done. It's one thing if they're on death row and there's controversy. It's another if it's clean cut.
Finally some GOOD NEWS!
The evil Jim Gaffigan.
He deserved worse!
Media supporting protesters?
Did he suffer long? Could he not breathe? Were his lungs full of liquid? Did his brain swell? Did he die alone? Hoping for all of the above. God forgive for writing this. I was a teacher in Chula Vista, Ca when this happened and our South Bay community suffered.
Good riddance.
Finally some good news.
No need to feel sorry for him
Oh.

A real shame. Is it catching on death row ?
good
This makes the pandemic absolutely worth it.
If someone in solitary/death row can catch the virus, this should be a clue to how easily it spreads.
Bye bye the Devil is partying.
A real whacko
So?
Well that solved that problem
Karma FINALLY works out
🤷🏼♂️
Cool
Good riddens
Show me more like this!!!
Good riddance!
K A R M A ? 🤔
we have been paying for this killer from 2006, why did we not give him the c-19 sooner. That it give everyone on death row the C-19 we will save mill's and the Murderers will be dead like they should be already. why are they all still alive. Murderers why are they still alive!!
Awesome. Save the tax payers money.
Bye bye
Womp womp
God said it was time for him to quit wasting air.
Oh
Karma
16 years on DEATH row. 'Murica!
Nature chose him for extinction!
Cool...
Well deserved
Good 😊
Wow, 16 years on death row and it took a once-in-a-century pandemic to finally do him in. Shameful.
His life was certainly not a blessing. Bye.
Is this a bad thing bc to me it doesn’t
COVID will never cover its high cost, but this did just save over a million in tax dollars
👍
Awesome, because California would have never executed him
Great.
The good Lord works in mysterious ways
Too bad CoViD didn't get him before he murdered two boys
Finally , good news about covid.
Oops
I guess the release prisoners crowd will be saying release all killers.
I fear there are going to be many others. The in the so-called condemned unit at San Quentin the men are inches apart from one another.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Was it a painful or easy death?
Justice served.
Gavin is heartbroken.
Well that's too bad. 🤣
Covid likes this
Karmaaaaaaa
Oh.
Covid?! That makes me sick
Bye Monster! Enjoy hell
Happy Fourth of July good buddy.
Why didn't he just wear a mask? Apparently they are magical
Gee, that’s too bad.
Should’ve worn a mask right? Of course leftists and the media will say we should release prisoners as a result of this.
He is at peace now.
poetic justice
fitting end
