Case Story |
|
| |
Former Child Star Now Man Wanted For Murder |
|
| |
From the age of 9 to 18, an ordinary kid named Manuel Benitez transformed into Hollywood child star, Mark Everett.
Everett appeared to have it all. He starred in commercials, television shows like "Highway to Heaven" and "Trapper John, MD," and even motion pictures like "Pee Wee's Big Adventure," and "Stand and Deliver."
But like so many young, successful actors, according to police, Everett's blockbuster dreams were overshadowed by his increasingly chronic drug habit. |

Cops: Everett Expert At Keeping Secrets |
|
| |
In 1996, Everett was 26 years old and trying to put his failed acting career behind him when he met Stephanie Spears. Eventually, the two moved in together and Stephanie gave birth to their son, Benjamin.
Though Everett and Stephanie were close, there were secrets lurking beneath the surface. Everett never even told Stephanie or her family about his child star status.
His theatrical past was not the only thing Everett had to hide. Cops say Everett was a drug dealer who showed no signs of stopping.
While Stephanie was excelling in college and winning scholarships, cops say Everett was becoming more and more involved in selling dope.
Cops say the two were clearly headed in different directions. When Stephanie decided she couldn't take it any longer, cops say Everett made a decision of his own. |

A Deadly Father's Day |
|
| |
Cops report Stephanie ended things with Everett on Father's Day 2004. Based on crime scene evidence, police were able to piece together the scenario: that night, Everett waited until Stephanie was asleep in their home in Hawthorne, Calif., before he tried to grab Benjamin.
Cops say Stephanie woke up and confronted Everett.
According to police, an enraged Everett picked up a dumbbell and began beating Stephanie to death with it. Once she was dead, they say the former child star took off with his child. There have been no confirmed sightings of Everett since but cops believe he may have now fled to a Spanish-speaking country.
Authorities say Everett's mother, Elizabeth Velasco is likely traveling with Mark Everett and she is known to have ties in Cuba and Mexico.
Police are seriously concerned about the safety of Benjamin, citing Everett's violent nature and his penchant for living in squalor. Benjamin is bi-racial with brown hair and brown eyes.
In June 2007, the FBI announced that the reward amount for information leading to Everett's arrest has been increased to $20,000. |
