Elton Jackson, 43, was found guilty of killing 38-year-old Andrew D. Smith after the two had sex. Smith's nude body was found near a dirt road in 1996 in Chesapeake.The murder is similar to 10 others in Virginia in which police have identified Jackson as the prime suspect. Most of the victims were gay, some were hustlers and nearly all were drifters. Most were strangled and all were found nude.
