Porn king's son captured after allegedly killing baby's mother and fleeing with infant
Source: San Jose Mercury News

NOVATO - Police say they have located the 1-year-old girl who was abducted by her father from her Novato home after he allegedly beat the girl's mother to death.

Novato police Sgt. Jennifer Welch said the girl was found unharmed and that 27-year-old James Raphael Mitchell, the son of San Francisco porn king Jim Mitchell, was detained early today. She declined to give further details.

The abduction had triggered a statewide Amber Alert.

Mitchell is suspected of killing the girl's mother Sunday before fleeing with the baby, Samantha Mitchell. Police found the woman dead in a yard when they responded to a call just before 7 p.m. about a possible assault.

Welch said Samantha was found within the state, but refused to release any additional details. Mitchell had threatened to kill any law enforcement agents who came into contact with him, according to the Novato Police Department.

Jim Mitchell, the suspect's father, had developed a multimillion-dollar adult-film empire with his younger brother, Artie, and later was convicted of killing Artie. Jim Mitchell died at his ranch near Petaluma in 2007 at age 63 after serving a six-year sentence for manslaughter in San Quentin Prison.

2. So, the father killed his brother, and now the son kills his child's mother?
Horribly terrible, but made-for-tv movie material for sure.
