Chavez then took Jimmy to his trailer, where he raped the boy. About four hours into the nightmare ordeal, Jimmy tried to escape by opening the front door, but Chavez shot him in the back.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>After holding the boy until he took his last breath, Chavez dismembered Jimmy, placing body parts into planters and sealing them with cement.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz was just beginning her career as a patrol officer with the then-Metro-Dade Police Department when the crime occurred, she said during the street-naming ceremony.

About three months into the search, Chavez\u2019s landlady found Jimmy\u2019s bookbag and a revolver handgun belonging to her inside Chavez\u2019s trailer.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>She reported her findings to the FBI on Dec. 5, 1995. Soon after, Chavez confessed to the crime after more than 50 hours of interrogation. Chavez then led police to Jimmy\u2019s remains.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>A jury convicted Chavez of capital murder, sexual battery and kidnapping in 1998, and he was sentenced to death. Chavez tried several times to overturn his sentence, but then-Gov. Rick Scott signed his death warrant in January 2014, and he was killed by lethal injection in February of that year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Jimmy\u2019s grieving family turned his memory into a movement to prevent other children from dying at the hands of sexual predators and their families from suffering from the trauma of never seeing their sons and daughters alive again. His parents founded the Jimmy Ryce Center for Victims of Predatory Abduction, a nonprofit that provides bloodhounds to police departments to help with missing-persons searches.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Bloodhounds for police agencies<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The Ryces\u2019 research after their son\u2019s death showed bloodhounds were ideal for missing-persons cases. Kevin Bolling, 65, was the first member of law enforcement to receive a bloodhound from the foundation when he was a K9 deputy with the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>At the time, he didn\u2019t think much of the breed for police work. That changed in 1997 when he attended a demonstration with Don Ryce and the organizers had him walk a two-mile trail.
