If you would like a little inside on Junny please read below, Thank you for your support
Schwab was convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez in 1991.
On April 18, 1991, Schwab called Clearlake Middle School pretending to be Junny's father. He asked school officials to have the boy meet him at a nearby baseball field.
Just a month earlier, Schwab was released from prison after serving less than half of an eight-year sentence for raping a 13-year-old boy in Cocoa Beach. He saw a photo of Junny flying a kite published in FLORIDA TODAY and became fixated.
Schwab called the family and said he wanted to do an article about Junny, who loved surfing, for a fictitious magazine. He attended one of Junny's Little League games. He gave the family an Easter card.
Schwab met Junny at the baseball field, and the boy was never seen again -- alive.
A massive manhunt ensued. Police received a break in the case when Schwab, in Ohio, called an aunt there and told her that he couldn't handle the death penalty or a life sentence. Police monitored and traced the call. He was arrested while still on the phone in a phone booth.
Five days after Junny disappeared, Schwab led police to a rope-tied footlocker in the woods in Canaveral Groves. Inside was the boy's body.
"They say, 'Forgive and forget.' But this is one of those things you can't forget," Vicki Rios-Martinez said earlier this year. "If you can forget, then it might be easier to forgive."

i am so happy that S. O. B. Schwab is no longer here! i had many classes with Junny in middle school and was good friends with him! I faced death myself in 2005 with Leukemia. It was very hard and scary times, but i couldn't imagine going through what the family went through! It might be evil to say this but Mark never deserved to live on this planet. God Bless You All.
