There was evidence she suffered abuse and was forced to live in a shed in the backyard of the house medical examiner ruled the young girl was also malnourished. In my 20 years of Law Enforcement. This case is the most disturbing and horrific ive seen. To know what that poor little angel went through by the hands of pure evil breaks my heart most of us here standing our mothers and fathers.

The eight year olds mother, samantha johnson, already in custody for the same charges. Police no, this wont bring back mason, but they hope it does bring closure to her loved ones. Im james torres, ktvu, fox. Two news. In addition to Dante Jackson and samantha johnson, there are now three other women under arrest in connection with the death of sofia mason. Two are from the bay area and were identified during them. This mornings news conference. Ktvu is greg liggins joins us now with more on that part of the story, greg yeah. Julie, the family of sofia mason say they are grateful Law Enforcement aggressively pursued this case. And they hope that jackson is prosecuted for what they call the holistic body of horrors that hes inflicted. They also pointed out that in this case, all of the people connected to jackson are women. Flanked by a photo of eight year old sofia mason, as well as those accused of taking her life and helping the alleged killer enforcement said suspect Dante Jackson was not easy to track down. Detectives acted on evidence quickly to track jacksons location. But he had the help of several people to assist them to elude his capture. Police say three women help jackson evade Police Arrested for accessory to murder after the fact they are Delbert Thompson of san jose corona larkins of merced and Mira Gonzalez of newark. During the investigation, they learned that several of these females had assisted jackson and eluding capture but providing him with money. Shelter and transportation. Melissa harris is a cousin to sofia mason and her mother, samantha johnson. Harris says more information will likely be revealed about why women specifically were helping jackson. That to me is really significant. And of course, we dont know the full extent or the manner of their involvement in how they funded his life while he was on the run. Um, but we do have our suspicions, and i know that will all come out samantha johnson, already in custody in connection with her daughters murder is cognitively impaired, according to Family Police describe her as Dante Jacksons girlfriend, but her family questions that label for her to say, you know, that was her boyfriend again. This is coming from samantha and her, you know, mente shin. Her mental capacity is that of somebody whos like eight or 9 10 years old. So for her to say that it does sound like something she would say that thats her boyfriend. But does she really comprehend what that means . Is she talks to samantha often and is glad her cousin and other women are safe away from jackson. Now that hes been arrested, samantha has said to me on the phone, and i cant say this that she had no control of her life of anything. She did her time who she could talk to. Of even what sophia did that Dante Jackson controlled everything. The arrest are one component of the case. There is also another. The family is in the process of filing a lawsuit accusing the department of children and Family Services in Alameda County of mishandling sophias case, allowing her to be taken from extended family and placed into the care of her mother.
