Investigation and Arrest
The investigation swiftly uncovered inconsistencies in Jessie’s account. A diary detailing her animosity towards Aunt Karen was found, and DNA evidence linked her directly to the crime. The murder weapon, concealed in her home, was discovered by her boyfriend, leading to her arrest on June 4, 2020. Remarkably, Jessie gave birth to her second child the day after her arrest, with the infant being removed from her care shortly thereafter.
