The 'porn star killers': Actors who met on adult film set charged with killing tattoo shop owner with a sledgehammer.
Jason Andrews was a bisexual Chicago DJ with a British accent, whose chiseled jaw and good looks landed him roles in countless gay porn videos.
Amanda Logue was a married, bleach-blond Georgia woman who once owned a lingerie shop, dabbled in prostitution and starred in several X-rated videos herself.
Florida detectives claim that together they stabbed and bludgeoned to death a 41-year-old tattoo shop owner with a sledgehammer.
They are also claimed to have hatched some of their plans in expletive-laden text messages.
Using his BlackBerry, Andrews allegedly typed: 'I'm so glad you're really committed to this take. Keep eyes for a knife, etc for me!'
Jason Andrews and Amanda Logue have been charged with first-degree murder
Transcripts of the messages were included in court records.
Logue replied in a nearly incomprehensible text that she was excited - and she wanted to have sex after they killed him.
Nearly two months after Dennis 'Scooter' Abrahamsen was found dead in his Tampa-area home, Logue and Andrews have been charged with first-degree murder.
Logue is being held without bail at a Florida jail and Andrews was arrested on Thursday in Tennessee.
Andrews was arrested by U.S. Marshals and the Chattanooga Police Department after working for several weeks as a manager at the Chattanooga Billiard Club, an upscale pool hall and cigar lounge.
'I would say he was very surprised. He was very clean cut, broad shoulders, dressed in a suit, not in a suit and tie, but more Miami Vice, more of a GQ appearance,' said Paul Salayko, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service
Police in Florida say the pair killed Abrahamsen in the early morning of May 15 and swiped $6,000 cash, his credit cards and a video camera.
Abrahamsen had hired Logue - whose porn name is Sunny Dae - to work at a sex party at his house, and police said that's when Logue and Andrews set him up.
They traded dozens of text messages about their homicidal plan, police said.
According to an affidavit, Logue would later deny that she had anything to do with the killing and claim Andrews was the one who bludgeoned Abrahamsen.
'Logue told [a detective] that Andrews grabbed the back of her hair then twisted her arm behind her back. Andrews forced her to view Abrahamsen's crushed skull and told her that's what would happen to her if she told anyone.'
Logue and Andrews met on the set of a porn video late last year and fell in love - even though Logue was married to a man in Georgia, authorities and friends said.
Andrews' Chicago friends find it difficult to believe he was involved in the killing. The 27-year-old Andrews was known in that city as DJ Veritas, and his Facebook and MySpace pages feature several video clips of him playing techno music in large clubs.
'He was a really straight up dude,' said Michael Sarkowicz, a Chicago club photographer
Alter ego: Married mother of one Logue as model and porn star Sunny Dae. She met Andrews on the set of a porn film.
In April and May, according to their Twitter accounts, Logue and Andrews spent several weeks in Florida, shooting porn videos, lolling on the beach and professing their love for each other.
Text messages retrieved from Andrews' BlackBerry show the couple discussed vinyl gloves, when other guests would leave Abrahamsen's home and what was inside a safe.
According to an affidavit, everyone at the party left Abrahamsen's home around 5am May 15 - except for Logue. Andrews waited outside in his car, still texting her.
'Just get him on his face either bash or tell me to get in and.
Where to go,' Andrews wrote.
Where to go,' Andrews wrote.
'K I'm horny! I'm getting him to play music,' Logue typed.
'Wicked. Ill just be waiting. Really. Take. Your. Time,' Andrews replied.
Abrahamsen was found dead in his house by a family member some 18 hours later, face down on a massage table with blood splattered on the walls and ceiling fan.
Authorities have not officially disclosed a motive for the killling.
At 4.29pm on May 16 - less than a day after the murder - Logue wrote on her Twitter account: 'Taking it easy with hearveritas! Laying around eating popcorn and watching movies!'
Hearveritas is Andres' Twitter name.
At 5.20pm, Andrews tweeted: 'therealsunnydae and I wanna go watch a movie tonight, any suggestion?'
As detectives pieced together the slaying, Logue and Andrews were arrested May 18 in a neighboring county after trying to use Abrahamsen's credit card at Home Depot.
On May 21, Andrews wrote on his Twitter account in Hebrew: 'Amanda please let me know when you are ok, really. My heart can't take the weight of the fear that I would never see you again.'
Victim: Dennis Abrahamsen, 41, hired Logue to perform at a party in his Tampa home. It is alleged that Andrews and Logue murdered him after the guests had gone home.
