Listener discretion is advised. 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: It felt like there was no real investigation at all, 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: regardless of any and all information that Audra and Mandy 14 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: have shared with them. It just went nowhere. I feel 15 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: like most detectives in that situation would use a lot 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: less to do more. Even reading the autopsy report, it 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: kind of paints its own picture. It really does. I'll 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: put it this way. If it seemed like some sort 19 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: of foul play to three amateurs, I can only imagine. 20 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: How it would look to someone who does this every 21 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: single day. 22 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: My team and I have been actively investigating Jessica's case 23 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: for over two years now. In all of my conversations 24 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: with Jessica's family, something they've made abundantly clear is their 25 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: lack of faith in the INNOPD. Their biggest fear in 26 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: all of this isn't that answers surrounding Jessica's death can't 27 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: be found. It's that the INNOPD won't put in the 28 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: work to find them. They've had a strong feeling that 29 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: this case has been headed nowhere for some time now. 30 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: But despite the family's frustration with what they feel is 31 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: a stalled INOPD investigation, we've still learned a lot thus far. 32 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: We've heard the body cam footage of police talking with 33 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Justin the day Jessica went missing. We've shared loads of 34 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: text messages and correspondence between Justin and those close to Jessica. 35 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: We've gone over all the reports we've obtained from the INNOPDA, 36 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: the coroner's office, and the family, discovering that a toxicology 37 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: screening found meth in Jessica's system, and then an autopsy 38 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: report indicated both pre and post mortem injuries to her body. Then, 39 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: in February twenty twenty one, the coroner released the following 40 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: statement regarding Jessica's death. 41 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: Advanced changes of decomposition can make determination of cause and 42 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: manner of death difficult, as it did in this case. 43 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: Due to this decomposition, toxicology testing was limited to liver tissue, 44 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: which did test positive for methamphetamine and bupropion. However, it 45 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: is unclear these results reflect recent intake, and a drug 46 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: related death cannot be ruled out. 47 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: The coroner, of course listed Jessica's cause and manner of 48 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: death as undetermined. Her husband, Justin believes she died by suicide, 49 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: and we have a good idea where her family and 50 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: friends stand. Like I said, we've learned a lot up 51 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: to this point, but there are still some key elements 52 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: we don't know. Where does the case currently stand, who's 53 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: investigating it, and where does the investigation go from here. 54 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: When re examining a case like Jessica's, requesting access to 55 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: the case file is one of the first steps in 56 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: the investigative process, and we've put in our fair share 57 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: of requests, But the NPD only granted us access to 58 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: the initial missing person's report and the report filed when 59 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: she was found. All other items in the case file 60 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: were denied, citing that it was an open case. Quote 61 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: they relate to pending or reasonable anticipated criminal litigation. If 62 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: we're going to obtain any more case related information as 63 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: to why Jessica's case has stalled, it won't be from 64 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: the files. We'll have to start asking around in New Orleans. 65 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: Back in May twenty twenty one, Todd and I decided 66 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: to start at the best place we could think of, 67 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Corner's Office also known as the Orleans 68 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: Parish Corner, to see what information we could get from them. 69 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: This is the same Corner's office who performed Jessica's autopsy. 70 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: We're hoping to find out more answers about what they 71 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: learned and gain a better understanding of where a case 72 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: like Jessica goes. Once the Corner's process is complete, we 73 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: park in the visitor lot of a large tan brick 74 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: building positioned beside a busy road. As traffic steadily passes by, 75 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: we make our way up to an entrance with double 76 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: glass doors. The doors are locked, but there's an intercom 77 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: call box to my right. I push the button, no answer. 78 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: I try a few more times. 79 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 5: Nothing. 80 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: We call in after hours number listed on the door, 81 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: and a woman. 82 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: Answers, hi' is your office open? 83 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 6: What would. 84 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 7: We're here to adquire about the past case?

We're working on a story 157 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 11: about a case. Jessica ply darning. Okay, and we were 158 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 11: told that you might be the head of the unit 159 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 11: that is looking at that. 160 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 12: What we're interested in. 161 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 11: If we're not familiar with New Orleans Investigations Police department, 162 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 11: we want to kind of show how. 163 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 12: It goes from the scene of where her. 164 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 11: Body was found to the corner to the police and 165 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 11: where that goes to investigations. 166 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 12: Yeah, the process and procedure of that all right, So. 167 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 6: How that works is so that's a determin about a 168 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 6: coroner's office. Right, So for example, when a body is found, 169 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 6: if if there's no determinate cause of how that person 170 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 6: may have died, we have to get that disposition from 171 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 6: the coroner's office. That makes the determination of where the 172 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 6: case is a signed. So if the case is if 173 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 6: the coroner classifies the case as a homicide, whether they 174 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 6: were killed by UH, whether it was Laful's trauma, whether 175 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 6: it was a shooting, UH, whether they were UH Stramolder, whatever, 176 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 6: whatever disposition at the coroner gives to us, then that 177 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 6: makes the determination as to where the case goes. So 178 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 6: if it's a homicide, and then the case will be 179 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,239 Speaker 6: assigned to the Homicide's vision to do a follow up investigation. 180 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 6: If the case is unclassified, which is where this case 181 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 6: is now, then we have to wait for the coroners 182 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 6: to tell us what led to this person's demands or 183 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 6: that if it was drug overdose, natural causes, health related, 184 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 6: and the case stays with us until we get that 185 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 6: disposition from the corla. Right now, her case is with 186 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 6: us because the coroner hasn't given us any information to 187 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: determine a cause of death all At this point, all 188 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 6: they've told us is that she's had some form of 189 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 6: narcotic in her as system, but they haven't given classified 190 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 6: the case as to how she does. So until he 191 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 6: gives us that the case is in right now is 192 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 6: left in limbo until we can till we can move forward, okay, 193 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 6: because we can't move without that forensic evidence right. 194 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 12: Because signed into a homicide detective if it's not yet 195 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 12: cusipited as a homicide correct. 196 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 6: Because we never yet detectives that are assigned to the 197 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 6: district like this third district. We work all robberies. We 198 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 6: work shootings where a person didn't die. We investigate activated assaults, 199 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 6: simple robberies, deaths, caught depths, arm robbers, and so forth. 200 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 6: Any type of homicide goes directly to the homicide division, 201 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 6: whether it be a drug overdose and the person was 202 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 6: poison whether they was shot, stabbed, however the demise happened 203 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 6: by the hands of someone else, that goes to the 204 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 6: homicide vision. In this sent to l When it's given 205 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 6: to us, we have to wait until we hear from 206 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 6: the coroner's office. If they say, hey, look we found 207 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 6: out this is this is how it occurred, then we 208 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 6: can talk to homicide and then say hey, look we 209 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 6: have the final disposition from the coroner, and this case 210 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 6: is given to you all to do investigations. 211 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: Just a quick pause here to remind you that a 212 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: homicide detective was on the scene when Jessica's body was found, 213 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: but since then her case has moved off the Homicide 214 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: Investigation Division's workload because of the undetermined classification from the coroner. 215 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 8: This homicide usually respond to most of you that scenes 216 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 8: because it's theirs until you decide it's not most. 217 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 6: It depends on the scene itself. It depends on the scene, 218 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 6: all right, Yeah, if it's something that appears to be 219 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 6: floul play, then they're gonna show up. If it's something 220 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 6: where let's say you got to and I'm just using 221 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 6: this as an example. Let's say as an elderly person 222 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 6: who was in a hospice environment and they had a 223 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 6: number of medical issues and they were found unresponsive in 224 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 6: their bed, and they're not gonna show up for that 225 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 6: because most likely that may be helped related. However, if 226 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 6: it's something if the officer gets out on the scene 227 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 6: and you said, well, hold loop, this doesn't look look 228 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 6: like it was the sounds of a struggle and this 229 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 6: person appears to be in an unconventional position, then homicide 230 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 6: is gonna come out and make that scene because there 231 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 6: may be more to it than what what would occur there. 232 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 6: When your cause and manner of death it's undetermined for. 233 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 8: The coroner's office, and it drops from homicide standards and 234 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 8: announces the IU, it's it's it's considered unclassified. 235 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 6: So an unclassified debt leads us in limbo because we're 236 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 6: not allowed to make any movements regarding the case because 237 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 6: we don't have a determinate cause of debt. 238 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 8: So no one here would be like trying to go 239 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 8: out and find more information to fill in holes in what. 240 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: Happens because it's it's a forensics case. Whereas now the 241 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 6: detectives have interviewed, they have interviewed miss Mister Dernott be 242 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 6: elected not to be interviewed anymore without an attorney. They've 243 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 6: interviewed the family, They've given information to the family regarding 244 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 6: this case. However, we're in we're in a limbo phase 245 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 6: until the coroner says, Hey, this is how she died, 246 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 6: this is what this is what necessarily need to be taken. 247 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: Luster keeps using the word limbo to describe the status 248 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: of this case. To you'd hear a case is either 249 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: open or closed, but to Luster, it sounds like Jessica's 250 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: case is falling somewhere in the middle. Regardless, He's made 251 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: it clear that they're waiting on the corner to give 252 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: a more definitive cause and manner of death. 253 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 6: But if you. 254 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Remember, the coroner's office told us basically the same thing, 255 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: that they're waiting on the NPD for more information. So 256 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: which is it. 257 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 12: So I will say, we spent to the corner's office, 258 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 12: I mean to be blunt, and they put it on 259 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 12: the police department. They said, our investigation is done with this. 260 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 12: They need to come to us with more evidence to 261 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 12: change the cause or manner. 262 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, but we we have nothing further to go with, right, yeah, yeah, 263 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 6: you see what I'm saying. So what kind of stuff too, 264 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 6: because we don't have any more information that we can 265 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 6: provide unless the family can say, hey, this is what 266 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 6: else we have? Yeah, and we take that information and 267 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 6: then we bring it to the call and say, hey, look, 268 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 6: if this is what they found, what can you tell us? 269 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 11: So if you had the right tip or lead to 270 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 11: come in, if we. 271 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 6: Had exactly and that's what all cases. Never we would 272 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 6: always pacific anytime we would sive crime stoppers tips, anytime 273 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 6: we see phone calls that will give us a solid lead, 274 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 6: because we want to solve the case. We want the 275 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 6: noise beliefs wants to solve the case. We want to 276 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 6: give the family justice. If there's some some some foul 277 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 6: play here, we want to see these people. We want 278 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 6: to see people who are victims of crime, uh, you know, 279 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 6: bring closure to whatever case that they're victims of. Or 280 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 6: if the families have some questions, we want those questions 281 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 6: as so we would never ignore that kind of stuff 282 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 6: you find. 283 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 8: With overdoses, for instance, or when when drug levels are 284 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 8: found in the body and you do have a period 285 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 8: of time before the body's found several days a week 286 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 8: or so, that it's hard to determine at the coroner's 287 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 8: office or to a medical examiner if it was an 288 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 8: overdose or not be does the levels reduced? 289 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 6: Honestly, I couldn't answer that. Yeah, that's something that they 290 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 6: would have to give me forensically, because we you know, 291 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 6: our job as an investigator is to let them tell us. Listen, 292 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 6: do you believe that this person was We've had cases 293 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 6: where people were given drugs and od and we charged 294 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 6: the person who gave out the drugs based on the 295 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 6: level of evidence we had in the interviews, based on 296 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 6: the statements that were made. Person say yeah, we were 297 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 6: out parting and I handed her it is right, and 298 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 6: she took it and she got They got charged for negligence, 299 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 6: all right. In this case, we don't have that. We've 300 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 6: we had a bout the reported found. We hope that 301 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 6: the coroner would give us something to bring clarity to 302 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 6: that case so that way we can effectively investigate it 303 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 6: without any obstacles in our way. 304 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: As we continue speaking with Luster, he doubles back to 305 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: the idea of a potential drug overdose. He says, for example, 306 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: if we knew how Jessica got the drugs or if 307 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: she willingly took them, maybe we'd have a different story here. 308 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: But we don't know. All we know in Jessica's case 309 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: is that she had drugs in her system. And Lester says, 310 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't help as far as an investigation goes. 311 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 6: Until they give us clarity and say, hey, this person's 312 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 6: killed or this person died as a zonner or overdose, 313 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 6: we're we're pretty much. 314 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 12: Left in the level right and would you consider it 315 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 12: a pole case? 316 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 6: I mean right now until we can get more evidence 317 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 6: to prove otherwise I would have classified as that now 318 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 6: because we cannot. We can't of course create evidence. We 319 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 6: have to get something solid that we can corroborate to 320 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 6: give us. You know problem cause any status cases? Is 321 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 6: that part of your job? No? Well my part? My 322 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 6: my job is I I supervised the supervisor, okay, who 323 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 6: give classification to the case. So this case is not 324 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 6: considered code is just still open it. 325 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 8: Well, is there a greed of time if no new 326 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 8: leads or information come in where a case like this 327 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 8: would be reclassified from open to closed. 328 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 6: It would never be closed, so it could be open 329 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 6: in our country a murder is open until we saw 330 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 6: that even if it happens, if we find out something 331 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 6: two hundred years from now, if we get evidence and 332 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 6: we've had cold cases of fact. There was a cold 333 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 6: case that that just recently got open in another parish 334 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 6: where they found out a guy from DNA evidence from 335 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 6: nineteen ninety eight that stabbed the leading and they arrested 336 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 6: him because they had the DNA evidence to prove wise, 337 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 6: but it was a twenty year old case, but he 338 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 6: was charged with burth. So as as far as I'm 339 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 6: returned and as far as our department is concerned, those 340 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: cases stay open until we solved. 341 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 11: So you won tips to come in, Yes, from anywhere? 342 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 6: Information? Yes, oh yes, indeed that's how most of our 343 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 6: crimes and no matter what they are, the community is 344 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 6: a big part of the family is a big part 345 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 6: the acquaintances that the France. Whatever information they can provide 346 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 6: for us, we'll we take that information so that we 347 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 6: can use it and try to develop a lief. Yes, 348 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 6: it really does. And trust me, Law's police is passionate 349 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 6: about bringing families justice and bringing cases of giving families closure. 350 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 6: In all cases. 351 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: We had hoped to find out who is investigating Jessica's case. 352 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: But the disturbing answer we found was no one is. 353 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: If what the lieutenant is telling us is in fact 354 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: n OPD procedure, then the n OPD is waiting on 355 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: the corner to classify it as a homicide in order 356 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: to investigate it as such. But at the same time, 357 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: the corner is waiting on the UPD to give them 358 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: more evidence to change the manner of death, leaving it 359 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: just as he states in limbo. In the law enforcement 360 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: and medical world, there's an acronym that perfectly describes Justic's case, CuPy, 361 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: which stands for Circumstances undetermined pending police investigation. So what 362 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: happens when two investigative agencies in charge of the case 363 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: both claim they are waiting on the other to move forward. Well, 364 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: as Todd and I have learned, nothing happens, which is 365 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: why Jessica's case has been in a perpetual stalemate. Justica's 366 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: case isn't officially classified as cold yet, but without tips 367 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: and leads, it is growing colder by the minute. To 368 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: the NPD, it's considered unclassified. To the coroner, it's considered undetermined. 369 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: But some see it as an opportunity for a second look. 370 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: Doctor Kimberly Masnik, who you may remember from our analysis 371 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: of Jessica's autopsy, is the director and founder of a 372 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: cold Case investigations institute in Florida. She tells me they 373 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: work hand in hand with the detectives on each of 374 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: those cases, and she was able to give us some 375 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: perspective on what would need to happen in order for 376 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: this case to move forward undetermined. 377 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 5: It's kind of I want to call it a placeholder. 378 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 5: I like that it's there because it gives us the 379 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 5: opportunity to pull Jessica off the shelf and look at 380 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 5: this case again, because in forty years, who knows what's 381 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 5: going to change in science. If that said anything other 382 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 5: than that, that case would be closed, and then I 383 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 5: wouldn't have the op opportunity to be able to pull 384 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 5: it off the shelf ten twenty thirty years from now. So, 385 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 5: having watched many interviews with her sister, that sister's not 386 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 5: going away. As long as it says undetermined, we can 387 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 5: keep it on the shelf and we can work it. 388 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: We can pull it off and dust it off and 389 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 5: call it not cold at any point in time. 390 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: Basically, if there's one good thing about an undetermined classification, 391 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: it's that it does leave the door open for the 392 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: case to be worked and possibly even solved. But how 393 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: do you make a change in classification happen. Doctor Masnik says, 394 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: for starters, the NPD should be working in tandem with 395 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: the corner. 396 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 5: If you don't ask the corner to specifically test for something, 397 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 5: that test does not get done because that corner or 398 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 5: that medical examiner is relying on you, the officer, to 399 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: give them as much infor as possible so that they 400 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 5: know how to do their job to the best of 401 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 5: their ability. This case stands out to me as one 402 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 5: that definitely needs to be re examined. For whatever reason, 403 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 5: it wasn't followed through the first time by multiple agencies 404 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: that should or could have done things. So it's not 405 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 5: just a law enforcement thing, it's not just a medical 406 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 5: examiner thing. It's a bunch of people things. So that 407 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 5: jumps out at me is this case definitely needs to 408 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 5: be looked at because it's potentially a very solvable case 409 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: given the right circumstance. 410 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: Doctor Masnik has a good point. There is potential for 411 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: Jessica's case to be solved, but at the end of 412 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: the day. Based on what we've heard so far from 413 00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: the corner and law enforcement, more information is needed now. 414 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: This case is a cuppy. No rest have been made, 415 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: no persons of interest or suspects have been named publicly, 416 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: and although Jessica's body has been laid to rest, there's 417 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: no closure, if there's even such a thing as closure 418 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: for families like Jessica, and no justice. That does not 419 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: sit well with Audrey or the rest of Jessica's loved ones. Again, 420 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: they've recognized the stagnancy of this investigation for a while, 421 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: so the fact that Jessica's case is in limbo is 422 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: no surprise to them. Audrey says she's felt like this 423 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: has been the norm ever since the Corner was working 424 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: with the family to try and identify Jessica's body, which 425 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: is why she's felt that she's needed to take things 426 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: into her own hands. Like doctor Masnik said, she's not 427 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: going away, and as it turns out, she isn't going 428 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: quietly either. After returning briefly to the Lakeview neighborhood to 429 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: plaster signs to every pole she could find and ask 430 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: anyone who knows anything to call crime stoppers and the 431 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: NPD Audrey took to the loudest public platform she could find. 432 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: She started sharing everything she could about her sister's case 433 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: on social media and people have taken notice. Like the 434 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: lieutenant said, it's going to take a village to solve 435 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: Jessica's case, and her family was about to get some 436 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: new information from a couple in that village who stumbled 437 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: upon something in the same spot where Jessica was discovered 438 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: seven months earlier. 439 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 6: We were walking the dog. 440 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 13: We're heading towards City Park and we were going between 441 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 13: the railroad and that security building. I spot that ID 442 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 13: on the ground. I picked it up and I walk 443 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 13: over to her and I show it to her and 444 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 13: she says, oh, that's a woman who was killed. 445 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: Undetermined is a production of Resonate Recordings and Tenderfoot TV 446 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: in conjunction with Cadence thirteen, written and hosted by me 447 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: Jessica Nole and produced by Dennis Cooper and Todd McComas, 448 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: with additional production by Whitney Bozart.
