Murder of Mother and Daughter in Missouri Under Investigation as Anti-LGBT Hate Crime [View all]

The double homicide of a mother and daughter in Camden County, Missouri is being investigated as an anti-LGBT hate crime, according to an update from the Camden County Sheriff’s Office.

The bodies of Teresa Jackson, 61, and her daughter Danielle Smith, 27, were found in the remains of their burned out trailer on August 29th. Autopsies have confirmed that both had been killed before the trailer was burned. Early Saturday morning their neighbor, Steven Endsley, was arrested for their murder.

Witnesses told police that Endsley took issue with Smith’s sexual orientation, and for that reason police and the FBI are investigating the case as a hate crime.
