RSS Feed In what will be the second execution of the day in this country, 46-year-old John Rubio is scheduled to die by lethal injection for the brutal murders of the three small children he was raising. It’s hard to believe that Rubio, along with help from the children’s own mother, stabbed and beheaded Rubio’s infant daughter, 2-month old Mary Jane Rubio along with 1-year-old John and 3-year-old Julissa back in 2003. The couple claimed they believed the children were possessed by the devil. Their mother is serving three life sentences for their murders, but at 6 pm CT, Rubio will pay for his crimes with his life.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, November 12th, and one down and one to go on another double execution day in the United States. And the guy set to be executed tonight, well, we challenge you to come up with a more despicable crime. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. I pause and don't mean to be dramatic, but the truth of the matter is you'll find a hard time Coming up with any time you have ever heard of a more horrific crime than this one. This is some bad stuff. This is a bad dude. And I almost feel like we just need to get through this night.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. And when you paused, I was wondering how you were going to describe this crime. We're talking about 46-year-old John Allen Rubio, and he is going to be executed tonight in Texas in a matter of hours from this recording. John Allen Rubio was just 23 years old when he committed a truly terrible and frankly indescribable crime because he killed three children. When you hear their ages and you hear how he did it and you hear who his accomplice was, I don't even know if you're going to believe it.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: Go ahead, give the ages first.
00:01:26
Speaker 2: So we're talking about a three-year-old, a one-year-old, he was 14 months old to be specific, and a two-month-old.
00:01:33
Speaker 1: Okay, all of them, right, he's raising as his own.
00:01:37
Speaker 2: Yes, and one of them is his biological child, the two-month-old named Mary Jane.
00:01:42
Speaker 1: Okay, you said folks aren't going to believe when you hear the ages. You're also not going to believe who the accomplice is.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: Correct. His accomplice was the children's mother.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: Okay, and now people are thinking, how can this actually get worse? Yes. And it does.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: So what happened was mom, and I guess they referred to her as his common-law wife, but his girlfriend, Angela Camacho... She held her children down, one by one, while this man, John Allen Rubio, grabbed a kitchen knife and viciously stabbed each child and then beheaded them. You cannot make this up.
00:02:23
Speaker 1: We'll try to limit how many times we make a reference to that. But, Rose, this is... Babe, this is as sick and as... You can't... A human being is just not capable, babe. You just, something is in you. This person is sick. This person is different. But then how do you have two people this sick? How could the mom participate in this crime? And I first heard of this case. And there was this idea of the kids being possessed. And I'm thinking, all right, there's some kind of. mental illness here, something going on. And then you dive into it some more, and you go, what? What?
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Yes, because, yeah, that was the, I guess that is where their defense was, that John Allen Rubio and his wife, Angela Camacho, said they believed the children were possessed, correct? But her story started changing around, and she said, well, at first, he kind of joked, John did, that they couldn't afford the kids while she was pregnant with their baby and suggested, maybe we just kill them so we can afford to live, basically. And then this idea came that he thought they were possessed. And I don't know if she somehow agreed with him or was convinced by him that that might be the case, but Her story changed from possession, we can't afford them, to possession, to kind of a combination of both. Well, we think they're possessed, and they're pretty expensive, so let's just get rid of them all. I mean, I can't even imagine, because yes, if it was one person, I could understand maybe a mental illness defense, and that actually would make the most sense, because to me, and to I think any sane person, to be able to do what this man did, you would think he'd have to be insane. But then how is it that the person who he was with, who he created this little baby with, also was under the same spell or had a similar mental illness? It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: You found two people who were willing to do something you have a difficulty finding. One person being capable of doing, babe. You had two people capable of doing this to a two-month-old child? Do you know what that takes, what mess that is, those little bodies? How are two people capable? I don't get this.
00:05:01
Speaker 2: And a man maybe not related to the older two who, I don't know, yes, maybe had a mental illness who could separate himself from them, but the woman who carried those babies, who grew those babies in her belly, who pushed those babies out of her body, I don't understand how a mom... could do that. I really don't. And I know that we can go back to a case recently like Lindsay Clancy and think, how could she have done that? Yes, I get it. They're all very nearly impossible to understand, explain other than mental illness. I just don't know how two people collude and do this together and somehow justify it. I just don't understand. And it really wasn't until John Rubio's brother came over to the apartment and found the bodies. They had put them in plastic bags and hidden them throughout the apartment. He finds these bodies of these little babies and, yes, immediately calls police. And that is how police were alerted. And look, this was such a horrific, horrific crime, such an unthinkable crime in this community in Texas. They actually tore the building down where this incident happened. in 2016 and transformed it into a memorial, into a park. They call it the Tres Angeles Park, the Three Angels Park. Tres Angeles Park.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: Well done. Well done. This is... Rose, we watch horror movies. They don't come up with scenarios like this.
00:06:47
Speaker 2: I wouldn't watch anything that even came close to this. It's unreal. And yes, it's worse than any horror movie that we've ever seen. And obviously that's just total fiction. The fact that this happened is hard to believe. And look, when he first was confronted by police, he told them, I know I did something bad. But I rather my children be dead than be possessed. Look, this reminds me of Lori Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell. They too are... and I believe he's sitting on death row for a kind of similar crime where he convinced mom that her children were possessed and they killed her kids because they thought they were saving them from Satan. And look, that's kind of what we heard from Andrea Yates as well. She thought the devil was in her kids. These were all folks, or at least Andrea Yates, and I guess Lindsay Clancy, it's still up for debate, who it seems jurors tended to believe were mentally ill. That wasn't the case for these two.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: They certainly believed Andrew Yates.
00:07:54
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: Those were different situations. This almost sounds like they pulled this out of thin air.
00:07:59
Speaker 2: Because they couldn't afford the kids.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: Robes, everything points to their financial situation. Everything points to them absolutely desperate for money. Robes, no, possession or whatever just came out of the blue. And both of them are having psychosis of the similar kind. Robes, it's just hard to understand that there is a human being walking around capable of this.
00:08:24
Speaker 2: Well, not for much longer. John Allen Rubio was convicted, by the way, in 2003. That conviction was overturned in 2007 because prosecutors, I believe, relied on some of the statements that his wife, Angela, made before she invoked probation. her Fifth Amendment rights. So then they have to go through the whole trial again. Can you imagine jurors having to listen to this? We thought it was bad. Listening to the Lindsey Clancy, this is, I would argue, even harder to hear and understand.
00:08:58
Speaker 1: No question.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: It's even more evil. Not that you even want to compare levels of evil, but honestly, I cannot imagine not one but two juries having to sit through this And so, yes, he was retried and then convicted once again in 2010. He did plead guilty or not guilty, excuse me, by reason of insanity. But then, look, he's out of options. And in a matter of hours, he will be put to death. In January, the U.S. Supreme Court already ruled, yeah, we ain't hearing you. So I thought that was kind of unusual that far out from his execution date. In January of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court said, we're not going to be taking your case.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: Let's not waste anybody's time here.
00:09:41
Speaker 2: Exactly. And then it was just November 5th that the last appeal that he had was denied. Back in August, he actually tried to sue the state of Texas to stop his execution, saying that, yes, penobarbital was cruel and unusual. He was questioning their supply, whether it was expensive. or unreliable. This was before Krista Pike. That, too, was unsuccessful.
00:10:06
Speaker 1: You saw what happened to his co-plaintiff. They executed him.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: Yes. He, along with another inmate, filed this lawsuit. His, yes, his co-plaintiff, Is that what you would call him? Yes, he was executed. And now Alan will be following suit. He will be the eighth man executed in the state of Texas this year and the 37th inmate in this country. And by the way, his wife, Angela Camacho, mom of those three kids. she actually pleaded guilty. And so she received three life sentences for her role in the murder. So she will not, and she is not on death row. Uh, but John Allen Rubio is, um, is going to meet his maker tonight almost assuredly. There is no one that I have seen, other than just regular anti-death penalty folks, lobbying for him to be spared.
00:11:04
Speaker 1: This is no last second DNA to test. There is nobody else possibly out there. Rose, this is, I don't know, you still talk about the value of life, of human life, and I would never advocate kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, but this is one that's It's tough to have an ounce of mercy for and sympathy for, but you can still respect human life, babe.
00:11:29
Speaker 2: All right. So that is taking place in a matter of time here later this evening. But earlier today, there was another execution in Oklahoma. When we come back, we will tell you how that went when James Pavot was pronounced dead and if he had last words. Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. 46-year-old John Allen Rubio is set to die by lethal injection in the state of Texas. He will be the second execution of the day here in the United States earlier at 10 a.m., and they were on time. That's for sure. In the state of Oklahoma, 73-year-old James or Jim Pavotte was pronounced dead at 10, 12 a.m. local time. They say within six minutes. He was not making any noises, any sounds. It was as if he went to sleep, and yes, six minutes after that, they officially pronounced him dead. It went off without a hitch.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: They use the three-drug method. Seems to have very few issues. This is the one they use in Florida. The one they use tonight, though, is the one they used on Krista Pike. That's the best way to put it these days. It's a one-drug dose of the lethal injection, and This is the one that potentially could have some problems.
00:12:56
Speaker 2: And yes, and when Pavat was asked if he had any final words, he shook his head no. He didn't even say no. He just shook his head. A chaplain was reading to him from the Bible, the folks who were witnessing the execution said, and he appeared to be mouthing some words, but it wasn't anything anyone could hear. But look, he was at a clemencing hearing earlier yesterday, earlier and when he was denied, but he then made it very clear that he claims that he was innocent. He said he was not guilty of shooting anybody, that he'd fallen in love with Brenda Andrew. That was his girlfriend. He was convicted of killing her soon-to-be ex-husband. She also was convicted, by the way, and she also is on death row. She is the only woman on death row in the state of Oklahoma, but he blamed her. He said that he was manipulated by her. He said, I can see why the jury believed that we were both involved in Rob's murder, but he adamantly and vehemently denied pulling the trigger or being involved in any way in the shooting death of Rob Andrew. But a jury didn't believe him. And the clemency board eventually, I mean, ultimately the parole pardons and parole board ultimately decided it was a tight vote though, not to grant him clemency.
00:14:15
Speaker 1: Tight. You said, yeah. Um, Three to two. Yeah. And look, these days, you're right, for something like this, it seemed like he was a vote away from his life being possibly spared.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. But he did become, earlier in the day, the 36th inmate executed this year in this country. And by the way, there are five more scheduled executions right now through the end of the year. There is one more execution in the state of Texas, so they will end up, if they don't add any others... with nine total executions for the year. They have their next one scheduled actually for next week, November 19th. Rinaldo Dennis, it was a robbery that led to a murder. And then the rest of the year, it's.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Florida, Florida, Florida.
00:15:03
Speaker 2: So November 19th will be a double execution day in this country as well. Florida is going to execute Thomas Mitchell Overton. Then December 1st, they're going to execute Ricardo Gonzalez. Then December 3rd, it's the federal government's turn. That is when we are getting now no longer to be live streamed, an execution by firing squad.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Nadal Hassan, it's going to happen that day at 1 o'clock in Texas. What year was that mass shooting? 2013? That's a long... When was that? It was so long ago now. It feels like.
00:15:36
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: And there's still, please, there's still a choice or an option for DeSantis. What is this? November 12th. They have to wait 30 days from the signing of a death warrant. So I guess he technically could go up until November 30th.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: That's right, because he just signed another one. So the last one right now for the year that we have on the books that's scheduled is again in Florida for December 10th. That's Willie Seth Crane Jr. That is the one that DeSantis just signed two days ago. So we have Five more executions. It's Texas, Florida and the federal government. But we will wait and see if there will be any more. But if Florida goes through with these next four executions, no, three executions, they will end up with 22 executions for the year or 21 for the year. Am I 22 for the year? Correct.
00:16:24
Speaker 1: So.
00:16:25
Speaker 2: This will be beyond their record-setting year of 2025, which was 19. But we'll keep our eye on the state of Texas to see if everything goes as smoothly as it has before for the state. They've not had any hiccups this year, I believe. Everything has gone according to plan. and there will be witnesses, of course. One of the local news reporters wrote an article saying she will be in the execution chamber or will be at least watching the execution chamber and is going to be giving some live reporting, whether or not there's final words, whether or not there are any apologies for this heinous crime. I know he said he did it. He hasn't denied it, but he claims he had to. Don't know if he'll add to that. today, but we will be watching. Wanted to put this on your radar, everybody. We always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, November 12th, and one down and one to go on another double execution day in the United States. And the guy set to be executed tonight, well, we challenge you to come up with a more despicable crime. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. I pause and don't mean to be dramatic, but the truth of the matter is you'll find a hard time Coming up with any time you have ever heard of a more horrific crime than this one.

00:01:23
Speaker 1: Go ahead, give the ages first.
00:01:26
Speaker 2: So we're talking about a three-year-old, a one-year-old, he was 14 months old to be specific, and a two-month-old.
00:01:33
Speaker 1: Okay, all of them, right, he's raising as his own.
00:01:37
Speaker 2: Yes, and one of them is his biological child, the two-month-old named Mary Jane.
00:01:42
Speaker 1: Okay, you said folks aren't going to believe when you hear the ages. You're also not going to believe who the accomplice is.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: Correct. His accomplice was the children's mother.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: Okay, and now people are thinking, how can this actually get worse? Yes. And it does.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: So what happened was mom, and I guess they referred to her as his common-law wife, but his girlfriend, Angela Camacho... She held her children down, one by one, while this man, John Allen Rubio, grabbed a kitchen knife and viciously stabbed each child and then beheaded them. You cannot make this up.

00:11:29
Speaker 2: All right. So that is taking place in a matter of time here later this evening. But earlier today, there was another execution in Oklahoma. When we come back, we will tell you how that went when James Pavot was pronounced dead and if he had last words. Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ. 46-year-old John Allen Rubio is set to die by lethal injection in the state of Texas.

Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. But he did become, earlier in the day, the 36th inmate executed this year in this country. And by the way, there are five more scheduled executions right now through the end of the year. There is one more execution in the state of Texas, so they will end up, if they don't add any others... with nine total executions for the year. They have their next one scheduled actually for next week, November 19th. Rinaldo Dennis, it was a robbery that led to a murder. And then the rest of the year, it's.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Florida, Florida, Florida.
00:15:03
Speaker 2: So November 19th will be a double execution day in this country as well. Florida is going to execute Thomas Mitchell Overton. Then December 1st, they're going to execute Ricardo Gonzalez. Then December 3rd, it's the federal government's turn. That is when we are getting now no longer to be live streamed, an execution by firing squad.
00:15:25
Speaker 1: Nadal Hassan, it's going to happen that day at 1 o'clock in Texas. What year was that mass shooting? 2013? That's a long... When was that? It was so long ago now. It feels like.
00:15:36
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: And there's still, please, there's still a choice or an option for DeSantis. What is this? November 12th. They have to wait 30 days from the signing of a death warrant. So I guess he technically could go up until November 30th.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: That's right, because he just signed another one. So the last one right now for the year that we have on the books that's scheduled is again in Florida for December 10th. That's Willie Seth Crane Jr. That is the one that DeSantis just signed two days ago. So we have Five more executions. It's Texas, Florida and the federal government. But we will wait and see if there will be any more. But if Florida goes through with these next four executions, no, three executions, they will end up with 22 executions for the year or 21 for the year. Am I 22 for the year? Correct.
00:16:24
Speaker 1: So.
00:16:25
Speaker 2: This will be beyond their record-setting year of 2025, which was 19. But we'll keep our eye on the state of Texas to see if everything goes as smoothly as it has before for the state. They've not had any hiccups this year, I believe. Everything has gone according to plan. and there will be witnesses, of course. One of the local news reporters wrote an article saying she will be in the execution chamber or will be at least watching the execution chamber and is going to be giving some live reporting, whether or not there's final words, whether or not there are any apologies for this heinous crime. I know he said he did it. He hasn't denied it, but he claims he had to. Don't know if he'll add to that. today, but we will be watching. Wanted to put this on your radar, everybody. We always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
