A Florida woman rushed to the aid of a drowning man only to later realize... she saved a wanted murderer.
This bizarre rescue occurred on March 24th at Vero Beach in Florida. On that day, a woman simply known as 'Belinda' was walking along the beach when she noticed a man struggling in the rough surf and screaming for help.
Belinda wasted no time jumping into the water and beginning the life-saving efforts that would ultimately see Jesse Ellis safe on the shore. She yelled to the man, informing him to lay on his back and let the waves carry him back to shore. Jesse said he was exhausted repeatedly but he eventually listened to her demands and he allowed the waves to carry him back to shore. Belinda helped drag him on shore.
At that time, Belinda could not have known the man she had rescued had recently taken the lives of two individuals. Authorities have since identified the man as 64-year-old Jesse Ellis. Jessie is the primary suspect in the homicides of his estranged wife, Stacie Mason, and Danny Ooley.
After safely back on shore, Belinda claims Jessie told her, "I think I'm going to take a long vacation."
Police watched footage of the rescue and realized the man the Belinda rescued was wanted for two homicides. He is still on the run.
After discovering his true identity, Belinda says she would have still helped Jesse, but she would have also dialed 911 and turned him in.
If you see Jesse Ellis, please call 911 and inform them you have spotted him.
