Always Laughing: How Demorris Hunter Hid a Serial Killer Behind a Friendly Face
In 2002, California parolee Demorris Andy Hunter shot and killed forty-one-year-old Ivora Denise Huntley in Oakland after she intervened in a domestic assault, then fled to Orlando, Florida, where he strangled and concealed the body of thirty-eight-year-old Theresa Ann Green before stealing the identity of a Washington D.C. executive to fund his life as a federal fugitive while his face aired on America's Most Wanted. Convicted of Huntley's murder in California in 2005, Hunter wasn't extradited to Florida to face charges in the Green case until 2015, with the trial concluding in April 2026 with a unanimous twelve to zero death penalty recommendation.Everyone who knew Demorris Hunter said the same thing: he was the nice one, always laughing, the one parents were glad to have around. What they didn't know was that behind that warmth he was building a body count across two states, living under a stolen name, and letting a thirteen-year-old boy grow into a man in his late thirties before anyone answered for what happened to his mother. This one is about the space between who people think you are and what you actually are, and about the people who paid the price for that gap.
