Murder of Jesse Dirkhising
Jesse William Dirkhising (May 24, 1986 – September 26, 1999), also known as Jesse Yates, was an American teenager from Prairie Grove, Arkansas, who was kidnapped by two men who bound, drugged, tortured and repeatedly raped him. Dirkhising died from drugging and positional asphyxia during the ordeal.〔Lieb〕〔"Lawyer to request...", ''The Washington Times'', Nov. 20, 1999〕
Dirkhising's death received only regional media coverage until a ''Washington Times'' article ran a story nearly a month after his death, noting the lack of national coverage in contrast to that given to the 1998 death of Matthew Shepard.〔Kuypers〕〔 The Shepard murder was approaching its first anniversary and as such was getting another round of national attention coupled with updates on pending hate crime legislation.〔 Prompted by coverage in ''The Washington Times,'' the Dirkhising case gained notoriety as conservative commentators compared media coverage of the two cases and explored the issues of what was considered a hate crime.〔 The added attention resulted in mainstream media also reporting the Dirkhising case in relation to the coverage of the Shepard case, with many attempting to explain why the two were handled differently by the media, and perhaps received differently by readers.〔〔〔Bozell, "No Media Spotlight ..."〕
The media coverage of the Dirkhising case was repeatedly and consistently contrasted with that of the high-profile Shepard case, although the cases were dissimilar in several important details. While both victims died as the result of assaults by two men, Dirkhising was a minor and the victim of a sex crime, while Shepard, an adult, was murdered as part of a hate crime.〔〔Buchanan〕 While homosexuality has been cited as an issue in both cases, the circumstances were different and in contrast: Shepard was an openly gay man who was attacked by two heterosexual men, while Dirkhising was raped by two men who were described as "lovers" in a police affidavit.〔"Killer:Shephard ..."〕〔
== Background ==
Jesse Dirkhising was the son of Tina and Miles Yates Jr. from the small town of Prairie Grove, Arkansas. At the time of his death, he was aged 13 and was in the seventh grade.〔"Contrasts in Media Coverage", ''The Washington Times''.〕 David Carpenter, who was charged with his murder, was then 38, and lived about away in a "small but booming northwest Arkansas town" called Rogers.〔〔"Arkansas town still reeling", ''The Washington Times''〕〔Driving directions〕 Joshua Macave Brown, 22, shared Carpenter's apartment.〔〔 Carpenter managed a beauty salon and was a friend of Dirkhising's parents. Dirkhising had stayed with the two men at their apartment on weekends for two months prior to his death.〔Price〕 Brown, who had been sexually molesting Dirkhising for two months prior to his death, claimed that Dirkhising was a willing participant.〔〔 The child's family had been told he was helping out at the salon.〔
