Jesse Anderson- A Convicted Murderer
While Jesse Anderson might not ring a bell as instantly as some other infamous figures, his story took a chilling turn that thrust him into the spotlight. Following an outwardly pleasant dinner, this man shockingly plunged a knife into his second wife, Barbara Anderson, ending her life. He then stabbed himself, weaving a deceptive tale that pinned the blame on three innocent Black men.
In the grim confines of the Columbia Correctional Institution, a chilling tale unfolded in 1994. Anderson, infamous for his racial prejudice, and the notorious serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, met their macabre end at the hands of fellow inmate, Christopher Scarver. Scarver, fueled by Anderson’s unjust accusations against innocent Black men and defacing of a Martin Luther King Jr. portrait, exacted a deadly revenge, forever silencing these two notorious figures.
