DEATH SENTENCE
My name is Karla Ann Mendelson. I am a highly trained Martial artist. I was a soldier in the United States Marine Corps. I may be a woman but I can kill you faster than you can blink an eye and make no mistake, if the situation calls for it, I will kill you! I live a quiet life, I don’t go around looking for trouble, I stay close to my family, my mom and dad are still together and because their getting on in years, I look after them, as much as they will let me anyway. I had a younger sister, she was 12, her name was Savannah.
My life isn’t exactly what most people presume it to be. My ex commanding officer is also no longer in the Marines. He is a member of a very elite, secret organization that from time to time is called on to provide a very precise service that can never be traced back to him or his organization! I come into the picture here because occasionally my unique services are needed to fulfill a sensitive contract that requires my professional qualifications, so my Commander calls me to perform this delicate service. My position with this organization works perfectly! No one expects or looks for a woman.
I know that everybody has a story to tell. I'm no different. When I was 17 my younger sister was kidnapped, raped, tortured, and killed by a sex pervert who the police never caught! I would pray every night for God to let me find the guy who did this to my innocent little sister, Savannah! Strangely, I began to have surrealistic dreams at night with my head upon my bed! Voices were talking to me, telling me to be courageous and strong! Do not fear your enemies and open your heart and your mind! If you do these things, you will find that which you seek! It was so confusing to me but I took to heart what I was hearing! One day I went to the police department and asked for copies of the file they have on my little sister! Reluctantly, two days later they called my cell phone telling me to come pick up the files which I did immediately!
I was meticulous in studying and reading everything in this file! For days, I read and reread everything looking for something that would lead me to my sister’s killer! One person kept "standing out," his name was Markel Robertson! In 2005, he was arrested for grabbing a woman who just got off a bus on her way home from work and raping her in an alley behind a business closed for the day. Because there was no forensic evidence linking him to the crime he was released. In 2012, he was arrested for child molestation and once again he was released for lack of evidence! Red flags were going off inside my head! Everything was telling me this is my sisters killer! Without sufficient evidence the police can do Nothing! They are bound by constitutional laws preventing them from locking someone up that they know is guilty but can't prove it! I am bound by no such laws! If I can find proof that he in fact killed my little sister…..well….I'm going to find him and I will kill him slowly for what he did to Savannah! Count on it!
My family lives in Indio, California. My dad works in Freeway Road Construction, my mother is a CPA doing Tax returns and working as an independent for small companies in Indio keeping books for them. Not long after Savannah was found murdered Markel, who was living in Indio at the time and once again questioned by the police and released, suddenly left town! I decided I'm going to find him and I'm going to find a way to prove he's my sister's killer!
I spent a couple of days searching on my laptop. I found his arrest record, his criminal record, and then, searching "Public Records," I finally found him, he's living in Desert Hot Springs, California just north of Palm Springs! It was time for me to go! I took off not telling my parents exactly where I was going but they trusted me knowing I would never do anything to bring dishonor to our family. Getting to Desert Hot Springs I checked into a motel and then went looking for his address! I found him living on a small piece of land outside the city limits pretty much isolated which bothered me a little. He was living in a 35 foot 5th wheel RV. Parked by it was an older model Chevy Pick UP Dually. Next to the Dually was parked a small Nissan Sentra. It was going to be difficult to stake out his property because it was so open and exposed! I drove passed his place for about a half a mile and found a small hill I could park my Jeep Cherokee out of sight. Hiking back I got as close as I could without putting myself in any danger of being seen and hid in some desert bushes and watched!
Eventually, two men came outside and sat in lawn chairs under the awning that’s connected to the 5th wheel and were just drinking beer and talking. I knew which one was Markel, I saw his "Mug Shot." There wasn't much I could do except watch until it started getting dark and they went back inside so I hiked back to my car and went back to my motel room. This might be a problem, I plan on killing Markel but I don’t want to kill the other guy too! I need to find a way to get Markel by himself! For three days I went back and watched the property. They both left early each morning not returning until around 5:00 PM. Obviously, they have jobs somewhere. I needed help from the voices I heard in my sleep awhile back if I'm ever going to succeed in my mission!
On the fourth day I waited until they both left and I cautiously approached the 5th wheel! To my surprise the door wasn't locked! Looking around the property, I opened the door and went in. first thing I did was hack in to their laptop. No surprise here, they know better than to save anything incriminating on their computer! I began a nice and neat systematic search of everything, the closet, under the bed, any drawers anywhere inside the 5th wheel, nothing! I was getting disappointed as I sat down in a chair by the computer. I absolutely need proof, something, anything, that will tell me Markel is the guy that killed Savannah! Otherwise, I can’t kill him! Looking down at the floor, I noticed a vent, I saw a light go on inside my head! Bending down I pulled gently on the vent and it came up without much of a struggle. Reaching my hand into the heating and air conditioning, nothing! I thought: "well, this isn't the only vent so I found the next one and checked it, Nothing! Going into the bedroom I pulled up the vent grill on the last vent and Wala! Pushed as far back as they could push it and still reach it when they wanted it was a "flash drive!" Now, my heart is pounding! Every fiber in my body was telling me this will be the proof I need! Going back to the computer I stuck the flash drive into the USB port and turned on the computer!
I closed my eyes and said a prayer! Opening the flash drive I started scrolling down until images started appearing! Pictures of women and young girls being tortured and raped and murdered! I kept scrolling even though I'm being traumatized just seeing this sick shit! There she is!! My sister, Savannah! I couldn't look at these pictures, I started sobbing! I was having a difficult time not throwing up as it was! Now I know both Markel and whoever the other guy is, are both guilty and both are going to die horribly and soon!
Forcing myself, I kept scrolling, now there are actual video's, movies of them doing disgusting things to these innocent victims before they killed them, ON CAMERA!! I can't describe the hatred that is building up inside of me right now! I'd seen enough! Removing the flash drive, I turned off the computer. I have things to do, to think about. I'm going to kill them both but I need to be careful, I don’t want to be arrested and convicted of double murder! However, they’re not going to be arrested, questioned by the police, and then released this time! Judgement day for them is in the next 24 hours!
Getting ready to leave I moved some papers sitting on their little dining room table, to my surprise there were two guns just sitting there! Covering them back up I left the fifth wheel and headed back to my hiding place in the bushes. It was dark when they pulled up and got out of their car! I felt my blood starting to boil! I'm looking at the two son of bitches that killed Savannah! I figured I'd wait until their asleep before I enter the RV and kill them both! I watched as Markel unlocked the trunk of the car, my heart stopped when I saw him pull a young girl out and take her into the RV!! There is no measure on how bad my anger and my hatred is rising to extreme levels at the same time! Now, I know I can't wait until they fall asleep! I'm not about to let them kill this little girl!
I was going to do what I've been trained to do since I was 10 years old! One way or another I'll kill them, I'll kill them both and no force in the known universe will be able to stop me! Just as I was about to head for the door to the RV, it opened! I ducked back down and watched! The girl looked to be about 14, her hands were tied behind her back and her mouth was gagged! They headed out into the desert. I had no choice, I followed them but stayed at a distance where I could just barely see them making it hard for them to realize they were being followed! When they stopped, I watched as they went into a bunch of desert bushes and pulled up a large wooden door and all three climbed down into a big hole in the ground and they closed the door behind them! That was all I needed to see! I ran at bullet speed back to the RV, went in and grabbed both guns and ran back to where the trap door is located!
Silently, as quietly as I could, I opened the trap door just a little, I heard nothing! Opening it just enough for me to climb in and slowly climb down the ladder, I stopped and listened, finally, I picked up the young girl’s voice begging them to "please let me go, please!" I needed to calm myself down, I don't want to screw this up and get the little girl and myself killed! I started breathing slow and deep forcing my emotions to calm down! My eyes started to adjust and I could see a long dark tunnel so I moved cautiously down this tunnel! The closer I got to them the louder I could hear the girl pleading for her life! "hang on sweetheart, I'm coming to get you and God have mercy on their souls, they'll get no mercy from me!"
At the end of the tunnel you had to turn right taking you into a big underground room lit up with powerful battery operated lamps! The girl was already on a bed stripped naked and tied to the bedposts! Markel was getting ready to rape her while the other guy got in on camera! I absolutely couldn't contain myself another minute! I just started screaming as loud as I could! The scream sounded like it came from the gates of hell throwing them both into a state of total confusion! I walked in the room and shot them both twice, once in the leg and once in the right shoulder! Now they’re in shock and bleeding but they will live long enough to see what happens to low life no good son of bitches like them! I ran over and smashed them both across the head with the barrel of one of the guns knocking them both stone cold out! I went to the little girl untying her hands I held her in my arms and let her cry for a minute! I said: "don't worry sweetheart, I got you, these bastards will never hurt you or anybody else ever again because you and I are going to kill them and give them the hard goodbye!" untying her feet I handed her clothes to her telling her to hurry and get dressed! I brought her with me and we returned to the RV. I unhooked two propane tanks and noticed a five gallon container of gasoline in the back of the Dually! We carried all of it back to the underground torture chamber! The girls name is Monique. The two perverts were still out cold so Monique and I used the ropes that they used on her to tie them both up good and tight! Then, using a knife that belonged to them I cut there clothes off so both of them could appreciate what I'm about to do to them! On a small table sat a few bottles of drinking water. Taking two of them I opened them and started pouring water on their faces! Immediately they opened their eyes! I could see fear and confusion fill their eyes as they tried to figure out what the hell is going on!
Looking at Monique I could see she was still in shock herself! I went to her and kissed her cheek and said: "listen sweetheart, this is going to get ugly! You have the right to see what I'm about to do but if you don't want to, you don't have too ok?" she hugged me and said: "no, it's ok, I want to see this, I knew with all my heart they were both going to rape me and then kill me! Don't worry about me Karla." I said: "ok, let's finish this and get the hell out of here!" The two men were completely awake now. Markel spoke first: "you have to untie us, we are bleeding to death, we need to get to a hospital right now!" with pure unadulterated death in my eyes I said: "you won't be getting medical help tonight you sleazy bastard! You don't know me but over a year ago you raped and killed my little sister! You were going to do the same to this little girl only now, your going to know what it's like to be tortured and killed! Your time on this earth is up!" like coward ass bastards they both started pleading for their life but it was to late, their pleadings fell on deaf ears! I started slicing their skin with their own dam knife! Their chest, their arms, their legs, I put cuts all up and down their worthless asses!
I sat the propane tanks close to them and just turned the valves on a little releasing raw propane into the room! I asked: "do you believe in God?" They both said yes! I said: "well, your about to meet him face to face and I hope he sends you both straight to hell where you belong!" Picking up the gas container I began pouring gas all over their slashed to shit bodies! They screamed out in pain like I've never heard someone scream in my entire life! It had to be extremely painful but it's what they deserved! As Monique and I backed out of the room I looked at them one last time and said: "I curse you both! I pray you burn in hell for all eternity!!!" I kept pouring out a trail of gas all the way to the ladder that takes us out of this shit hole! I had picked up a cigarette lighter from the torture chamber, I handed it to Monique. She knew what to do. Lighting it she screamed: "I hope you burn in hell forever!! she threw it into the hole! The gas ignited and started racing toward the room! We could hear them screaming out in horrible pain as they caught fire and were burned alive! I yelled: "Run girl! It's going to blow!" we both took off running like the wind! We were still close enough to hear the propane tanks explode sending a plume of smoke high into the night sky! We still have work to do! Going back to the hole, I placed the cover back where it was and then we spent an hour covering it up with rocks and dirt and making it almost impossible to detect!
Hugging Monique again I said: "it's time to go girl, I have to get you home to your family, I know what they’re going through not knowing where you are!" we headed for my Jeep and we took off! It may be months, maybe years before those low life’s are ever found! Looking at Monique I said: "listen sweetheart, you can't tell your parents or the police about me or what we just did to those perverts ok? They got what they deserved but the law frowns on vigilante justice and they will put me in prison!" she said: "I owe you my life Karla, I will never tell a soul about you so you wont get any trouble ok? What do you want me to say?" I said: "just tell them you escaped and ran until you found a road and I picked you up and brought you home, that should do it, you don't know anything about anything including the woman that picked you up ok?" she said: "ok."
Pulling up in front for her house it was dark! By now it's after 2:00am. Monique looked at me and said: "thank you for saving my life Karla!" she started crying. Reaching over she hugged my neck and asked: "will I ever see you again?" I said: "yes you will, I promise you in the name of everything that's holy we will meet again someday, right now, I have to disappear for a while, you understand right?" this time she kissed me and got out of the car and disappeared into the night! I headed for the motel, packed my things and left for Indio!
Markel and the other guy that I found out later was his older brother were the first two people I ever killed! It was hard on me at first, taking a persons life, all he has, and all he's ever going to have! However, I felt no long lasting remorse! Those two no good perverts got what they deserved! I only wish I could have killed them twice! A few days later I joined the Marines! From the other side of the world I sent that flash drive to Detective Donovan of the Indio Police Department with a detailed map where to look and hopefully he can close other cases of missing women and girls! I excelled in hand to hand combat, after all, I am considered a world champion in Martial Arts! So of course, I was placed in the Special Forces Elite squad and received even more special training on how to Kill and Kill again! I learned how to be a professional assassin and to kill people making it look like it was an accident! For six years I killed some of the most dangerous people on this earth! Billionaire Drug traffickers, leaders of Terrorist Cells in some of the most unstable countries in the world!
Five years have passed since I got out of the Marine Corp. I started working for my ex-commander right away! There were times when the FBI and CIA could not take care of a potential volatile situation so they called my commander to take care of it for them! There's a lot of American criminals that have themselves so well protected and they hide behind the laws and rules of the constitution of the United States it's almost impossible to get to them using the U. S. legal system, so, that's where we come in! we find a way to kill them, cutting the head off of the snake if you will, and we do it so it doesn't look like it was an assassination! Problem solved! I don’t know if I got over confident or if I just got sloppy, whatever the case I’m in serious trouble right now! There was a multi million dollar business man in Florida, the CIA knows he is absolutely selling and smuggling weapons to extreme terrorist countries and doesn’t care that those same weapons will be used to kill Americans and American Allies! So, the CIA hired my Commander to get the job done discreetly! So, the file on this guy was handed to me and I left right away for Florida! The man’s name was Nathan Goletti, owner of a small chain of luxury Hotels all across the Florida beach front! I went on my computer and found the plans to the Hotel he was living in and I spent a couple of days just watching! I noticed right away that most of the employees weren’t really employees, well, not regular employees. They were really his Bodyguards! It will be impossible to get to him by coming through the front door so I need to come up with another way! The plans showed a large underground drainage tunnel mostly to help protect the Hotel from flooding during a hurricane, or, if it did flood the drainage pipe would help to drain the water off much quicker. I decided that’s going to be my way into the hotel!
I waited until it was late! 3:00am to be exact when I entered the pipe from the far end that drains into the city’s sewer system and made my way into the hotel, using the air conditioning ducts and the elevator shaft I made it to the top floor without running into anyone who could later identify me! So far, so good! Using the air conditioning ducts I came out in an empty room, going out on the balcony I climbed up one floor to Goletti’s balcony and silently opened the glass door and I was in!! Placing a cloth soaked in Chloroform gently over his mouth and nose, he fell into a deep sleep! Turning him over I injected a powerful deadly serum known only to my commander and his elite squad of assassins into his rectum, Should they do an autopsy the serum is untraceable! It will look like his heart stopped in his sleep and he died!
Everything went according to plan, smooth as silk! Coming out of the pipe I removed my assassin’s gear so now I looked like an everyday woman!! Calling from a phone booth I reported in saying simply: “this is your doctor, the operation was a success!” and I hung up. Ditching my incriminating clothes I headed straight for the airport! Unfortunately, that’s where it all went bad! I screwed up! The drainage pipe had two cameras, one at each end that weren’t watched 24-7! When they replayed the CD they got a good look at me because I didn’t have my face covered yet!! I was arrested at the airport and charged with first degree premeditated murder! I was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by lethal injection before I could blink my eyes twice!
I’ve been on death row for 10 years now and tomorrow I will be strapped to a gurney and given my last rights, and then I will be injected with the serum that will kill me! I didn’t make it to my 40th birthday but what the hell, I knew the risks when I decided to become an assassin! At least I’ve killed a lot of worthless dangerous people over the years that really needed killing! The next morning came quickly! They walked me down the long hallway to the Death Chamber and strapped me down! I refused to beg for my life! I refused to cry! The warden looked at me shaking his head and said: “may God have mercy on your soul!”
I noticed there were two medical technicians prepping me for what was about to happen! One applied rubbing alcohol to my arm and using a rubber tube he tied it around my upper arm to make my veins swell! The other one had the needle! Approaching me he held my arm with one hand and without even looking into my eyes the jammed the needle in!!! suddenly, I rose up screaming! Opening my eyes I couldn’t figure out where I was! Feeling my arms, rubbing my hands down my legs, I’m not in prison clothes, I’m not in a death chamber, there’s no needle in my arm! I was wet from sweating! I thought: “this was a dream? This was all a freaking dream?!!! I’m in my bedroom at my mom and dads house! I jumped out of bed and ran to my little sister’s bedroom and quietly went in! there she was, sleeping, looking like an angel! Oh my God, that wasn’t a dream! It was a horrible nightmare! Bending down I kissed her gently on the forehead, I heard a gentle sigh escape her lips! With my heart still pounding, I gently climbed under the covers and held her close to me for the rest of the night! I said a silent prayer, asking God to never let me have another nightmare like that again! I fell asleep!
