Chrystul Kizer: Woman arrested on bail jumping charges found with man she accused of attempted rape

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: A Wisconsin woman was arrested this week by federal authorities in Louisiana on a warrant for her arrest obtained through bail jumping from Kenosha County.

The woman had admitted to killing her longtime suspect in a rape and torching his house.

Chrystul Kizer, 23, gained notoriety online after being charged with first-degree murder, arson, theft, and other offenses related to the 2018 death of Randall Phillip Volar, III, 34.

Chrystul Kizer charged with disorderly conduct and bail jumping

Following a prosecutor's motion to increase bail reviewed by Law&Crime, the defendant was charged with one count of disorderly conduct in Milwaukee County and four counts of bail jumping in Kenosha County in January, while out on bond and awaiting a trial in which she intends to assert self-defense.

One of the charges stemmed from her allegedly changing her address without notifying the court. US Marshals located Kizer, who had been missing for almost two weeks, in Lafayette Parish on Monday, February 12.

She was with the man she had accused of trying to rape her during a recent domestic disturbance call. After Kizer filed a battery complaint, Milwaukee police were called to an apartment on January 7.

She claimed that 47-year-old David Melton had assaulted her and tried to rape her.

However, police claimed they overheard a man shouting, "Stop hitting me," in the background while Kizer continued to yell during the call, as per a complaint obtained by Fox affiliate WITI in Milwaukee.

Chrystul Kizer threatened David Melton with violence

When Kizer arrived, she accused Melton of lying and informed the officers that she had just discovered he was a registered sex offender. Officers reportedly battled to keep Kizer and Melton apart during a string of arguments that followed.

Kizer allegedly threatened Melton with violence on several occasions and “continued to yell and act belligerently,” according to the police.

Melton was allegedly searching for his car keys at one point, according to the Milwaukee complaint, when Kizer allegedly struck him “in the face directly in front of police.”

After being detained the following day on a less serious misdemeanor charge, Milwaukee authorities promptly freed Kizer.

However, Kenosha County prosecutors added multiple felonies, claiming that Melton's alleged misdemeanor offense and the felonies were committed during the same incident.

She was detained in a parking lot alongside Melton, according to federal authorities. She could now be extradited to the Badger State.

At the age of sixteen, Kizer was allegedly forced to work as a prostitute for other men, frequently several times a day, and Volar allegedly started sexually abusing her while filming his acts as part of his history of creating material about child sexual abuse.

Chrystul Kizer burnt Randall Volar's body alive

Kizer killed Volar by shooting him twice in the head when she was seventeen years old. She then burned his body alive and drove off in his car.

The woman was just one of many Black minors that the affluent, white pedophile, according to police, had been abusing for some time.

Volar had been a target for law enforcement for a while. He was charged with child enticement, second-degree sexual assault of a child, and using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime at the time of his death.

Investigators claimed to have discovered "hundreds" of videos depicting child sexual abuse content and more than 20 "home videos" showing Volar abusing Black children sexually when he was arrested for those offenses.

By citing a statute that offers victims of human trafficking or child sex trafficking "an affirmative defense for any offense committed as a direct result" of said trafficking "without regard to whether anyone was prosecuted or convicted" for the underlying sex crime or crimes, the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided in July 2022 that Kizer could assert a claim of self-defense in her murder case.

After being detained for the murder of Volar, Kizer was incarcerated for almost two years.

To secure her pretrial release, a coalition of victim advocacy organizations raised $400,000 in donations. Kenosha County is currently advocating for Kizer's bail to be increased to $1 million, which was the initial bail amount in her case.
