BAKERSFIELD (AP) ―
A former cab driver sentenced to more than 300 years in prison for kidnapping and sexually assaulting two young girls died Tuesday in a Bakersfield hospital.
Prison officials say 46-year-old Curtis Dean Anderson had been receiving treatment at the undisclosed hospital since November 28th.
Anderson was serving a 251-year sentence for kidnapping and sexually assaulting an 8-year-old Vallejo girl in 2000. The victim was shackled to the front seat of Anderson's car for two days and managed to escape by getting hold of the keys, flagging down a passing truck and diving through the open window.
Two years ago, Anderson was sentenced to another 50-years to life after pleading guilty to the 1999 kidnapping, molestation and murder of 7-year-old Xiana Fairchild.
Xiana disappeared while on her way to school in San Jose. Her fate remained a mystery until her skull was discovered more than a year later.
