Former JANE'S ADDICTION Guitarist To Guest On 'America's Most Wanted'

July 21, 2004

Former JANE'S ADDICTION/RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist Dave Navarro will be making an appearance on "America's Most Wanted" this week to acknowledge the role the show played eight years ago in capturing the man who brutally murdered his mother, The New York Post reports.

"I'll never forget the day when they got him," Navarro told this week's edition of the long-running Fox show.

"It was an amazing feeling. It was such an amazing sense of joy and anger and hurt and confusion," said Navarro, husband of "Baywatch" alum Carmen Electra.

"The real rewarding thing is that Dave got justice," 'AMW' host John Walsh told The Post yesterday. "We just want to show people that you can be victimized, but you can still go on and survive."

Navarro's mother, Connie Navarro, and her best friend, Sue Jory, were shot to death by his mother's former boyfriend, John Riccardi, in 1983.

"The murder basically tore our lives apart," Navarro said. "To be honest . . . you don't know what to do, you don't know where to turn, you don't know how to live, how to trust. It completely throws your emotional stability out of bounds.

"To the viewers and to the people that call in, you really do make a difference, your calls really make a difference in our lives — in the victims' lives."
