A handwritten note claiming grisly details of the Jackson family slayings was presented to the federal grand jury that indicted Melvin D. Rees Jr. for the deaths of Mrs. Carroll V. Jackson Jr. and daughter Susan Ann. Investigators seized the note in Rees’s Maryland home as Virginia authorities charged him in those murders and in a separate pistol killing in Anne Arundel County. The note, unsigned and reportedly written in Rees’s handwriting, described the abduction and execution on a lonely road and referenced the family’s car found near their Apple Grove Virginia home.
