Case Story

Wanted for Murder, Kidnapping

In the summer of 2000, police say Jesse James Hollywood wanted to send a message to those who owed him money. A small-time drug lord with a big appetite for violence, cops say Hollywood sought out Ryan Hoyt, who was in debt to Hollywood. Hoyt agreed to work off the money owed -- however, he was unaware of the kind of work Hollywood allegedly had in mind.

Innocent Teen Murdered

Cops say that on August 6, 2000 around 2:30 pm, Jesse James Hollywood ordered the kidnapping of Nicholas Sam Markowitz in West Hills, CA. Nicholas Markowitz, an innocent 15-year-old victim, was taken because his brother owed Hollywood money. Three known associates of Hollywood, one being Ryan Hoyt, took the fifteen year-old to a very mountainous region of Santa Barbara off of Highway 154, where he was held until late in the evening of August 8, 2000. Police say that two of the three associates, Ryan Hoyt and Jesse Rugge, walked Markowitz up a trail while the third suspect, Graham Pressley, remained at the vehicle. Rugge and Hoyt duct-taped Markowitz's hand behind his back, placed tape over his mouth, put him in the grave that had been dug earlier in the day, and shot him in the torso and head. They buried his body and covered the grave site with branches. It was discovered on August 12, 2000, six days after the kidnapping.
