May 21, 1985

The convicted killers of Stephanie Ann Roper were sentenced to additional prison terms yesterday for rape, marking an apparent end to a three-year saga that started with the savage murder of the 22-year-old Frostburg State College student and spawned a statewide crusade for stiffer sentences and victims' rights.

The sentencing of Jack Ronald Jones and Jerry Lee Beatty doubled the minimum time they must serve before becoming eligible for parole from about 12 to 24 years.

That means they could’ve been out for the last 15 years.

I sincerely hope they’re still rotting in some dank hole in the bottom of the prison.

Surprised.... not.

Leave it to Maryland.

They both should’ve been executed.

A bit off topic, but I have noticed lately that the Chaz County crime reports have stopped listing the judges that release folks on bail, no bail and PR
They probably been catching flack.

Not sure this is the same guy. The years don't add up. This would have made him 14 in 1982.

Not unsolved, but the 1982 kidnapping, torture and murder of Stephanie Roper is burned into my brain.

Roper was home on a college break, and she and a girlfriend were returning from an evening with friends at a West End Washington, D.C. bar, the "Twenty-First Amendment" late at night. After dropping her friend off in Brandywine, Maryland, Stephanie proceeded toward her own home in Croom, but her car became disabled on a dark rural road. Two men stopped and kidnapped her at gunpoint. The two men, Jack Ronald Jones and Jerry Lee Beatty, kidnapped Stephanie and took her to an abandoned shack in Oakville, St. Mary's County. There she was tortured and raped repeatedly. One of the men called the other by his first name. Afraid now that Stephanie knew his name, they decided to kill her. Stephanie made several attempts to escape and upon her last capture, her skull was fractured with a logging chain and she was shot to death. In order to hinder identification, the murderers burned her body and severed her hands. They were captured after the younger man bragged about his part in the crime. Both men were charged with kidnapping, rape, and felony murder. The primary killer was convicted in Baltimore County while his co-defendant pleaded guilty to the same charges in Anne Arundel County. Both courts imposed sentences of two concurrent life sentences, with parole eligibility after 24 years.


I was 11 when this happened and remember it very well because we had just moved to Baden (small town in between Croom and Brandywine). A year later, a 20 year old named Kimberly Mileo from Croom went missing. She has never been found. That one really stands out to me because I can remember the search parties in our area, and them searching the cornfields next to our house and the woods at the back of our property. It was very scary.

Those 2 deserve to die!! they should have been taken out back and shot to death then burned all in public.

Here is an article I found about Kim Mileo.
Very informative. In the comments section, there is a comment from law enforcement saying that they know who did it , but there is not enough evidence.
