Beyond a shadow of a doubt: Junny Rios-Martinez

Warning: disturbing content

At age 11, Junny Rios-Martinez was a popular Florida sixth-grader who liked baseball and surfing. Junny also had a knack for flying kites, which earned him a picture and short article in Florida Today, a Brevard County newspaper, after he won a kite-flying contest.

Junny's photo captured the attention of a man who introduced himself to Junny's parents as "Mark Dean," another Florida Today reporter interested in doing a follow-up story on Junny.

Vicki and Braulio Rios-Martinez agreed to an interview. They did not know Dean was really Mark Dean Schwab, a child molester who had served time for sodomizing a 13-year-old boy at knife point.
