Sex Offender Admits Killing Teen in NE

According to a report by the D.C. Pretrial Services Agency, Crosby has worked for a contractor in Silver Spring for six months.

After he was released from prison, Crosby told his Maryland parole agent that he wanted to move to the District, but D.C. officials denied the request, according to court authorities. It appears that he moved to the District without letting his parole agent know. D.C. police list his address as the 1000 block of 51st Street NE, and he was registered to vote in the District at that address.

Maryland parole workers believed that they were supervising him in Baltimore and that he was still living there, said Elizabeth Bartholomew, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Division of Parole and Probation.

Crosby is on Maryland's sex offender registry, with his home address listed in Baltimore.

Crosby last reported to his parole agent Aug. 24, Bartholomew said. She said he was to report Sept. 14 but did not. His next appointment was to be today, and had he not reported, a warrant would have been issued for his arrest, she said.

Gloria Dixon has said she last saw her son Saturday. She reported him missing at 4 a.m. Monday, and a friend of the family found the body about seven hours later.

Dixon said she had talked to Crosby for about a half-hour after her son's body was found.

Crosby told her that he knew her son and that he was a good kid, she said. He then tried to comfort her, saying "If I hear anything, I'll let you know," Dixon said.

Dixon added, "He couldn't understand why anyone would do that to a nice young man."
