Nedra Calloway from California says that convicted murderer Kevin Sterling Jones had her next on his list of people to kill. She says that an informant gave the police recordings that showed that she was next on Jones' list.
A woman said that she found out her friend had been convicted of murder and that she was "next on his list."
Nedra Calloway from Richmond, California, talked about how she met Kevin Sterling Jones, who had been convicted of killing two other women.
She says that an informant gave her recordings that showed she was "next" on his list of people to kill.
Nedra says in a TikTok post that she got away from the convicted killer who bragged about his "sick, twisted plans" to kill her.
Jones also said on the tapes that he killed Jamie Williams, a 22-year-old college student in Oakland, California, in 1999, and Sharonda Parker, a 16-year-old girl in Napa County.
Nedra, who is now 51 years old, talks about how she met Jones, who her friends called "weirdo," through a friend only known as "T" in 2000, when she was 29.
The mailman or woman said: "When I met weirdo Jones for the first time, he wasn't T's boyfriend yet. T and I had seen him around the adult store that she ran at the time, but neither of us knew who he was.
"We called him "weirdo" because he was very quiet and never said a word. He just sat in the store and watched the adult videos on the TV.
"He never bought anything, he just hung out in the store. We thought something was wrong."
The three of them became friends, but things quickly turned bad.
Nedra said, "Weirdo Jones was arrested because a young woman in our apartment complex said he was looking in her windows and leaving sex tapes on her doorstep."
Nedra decided to testify about Jones' character because she was sure there had been a mistake and because she fell for the killer's charm. This is something she now regrets.
She told me: "When I first saw him, I thought he was weird and strange, but as soon as he started talking, he seemed like a normal guy.
"I remember thinking that maybe the word "weirdo" wasn't so strange after all. We were all fooled by him. He had a great sense of humor, was fun to be around, and could talk to people of any age or in any situation.
"I didn't think he was capable of doing such things. If I had known, I wouldn't have backed him up."
Nedra would run into the killer again, which was a shame.
Jones allegedly told Nedra that he had been at the police station all day during a strange visit where he seemed visibly scared. After that, Jones and Nedra didn't talk to each other again.
But they got back together in late 2002, when Nedra says he was mean and "insisted" she go see him.
She told me: "He said that I would if I was really his friend. It scared me a lot, so I put the phone down."
Nedra went with her "gut" and didn't go see Jones that night, which could have saved her life.
After a few days, she got a call from a Napa County Detective who told her about the killer's dark past.
She went into the detective's office to talk to him and found out that her "friend" was in jail because he tried to rob a beauty salon.
Nedra said: "Jones had been looking in my windows, the detective told me. He asked me if I knew that Kevin had been in prison for 13 years for sexual crimes that were violent. I started to shake, and I didn't know why.
"Then he played the recording, which was where I heard Kevin tell the informant that I was next.
"I was completely shocked! I was so upset that I couldn't breathe and couldn't calm down at all. He acted friendly to get me to trust him. All of this was part of his sick plan."
Nedra, who is now 51, told her story to encourage people to trust their gut and do background checks, which she couldn't do when she was 29.
She also: "The experience taught me to trust my first thoughts and pay attention when my "spidey senses" start to tingle.
"Trust your gut. We can use a lot more resources now than we could 20 years ago. Background checks are usually free or cost very little.
"Don't gather red flags! There is a reason why they are red."
