Skylar Deleon's murder trial is underway

Deleon is accused of chaining Tom and Jackie Hawks to the anchor of their yacht and throwing them overboard. The couple's bodies have never been found. Deleon's wife has already been convicted of two counts of first degree murder and has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

The Deleons are said to have gained the Hawks' trust by pretending to be interested in the yacht they were selling, even bringing their toddler son to a meeting. The murder occurred when the couple went on a test cruise with Daleon and two other men. They tied up the couple, forced them to sign over the title to the boat, then threw them overboard.
