experts concluded from its size that it was not the murder weapon. it was an unsophisticated attempt to lead police in the wrong direction or to perhaps somehow we would conclude that it wasn t a murder. the lack of blood at the scene, along with grass and dirt stains on the victim s pants, confirmed what police already knew. it s a secondary crime scene for sure. what was apparent to us was, one, she didn t die there. two, she didn t get into the vehicle under her own power. devon s body had been covered with her own jacket, which investigators found revealing. that s kind of a symbol to us that it was somebody who cared about her. we usually start with the people closest to the victim and then we work outwards. devon s roommate, keary renner, was immediately considered a suspect. the two had been lovers. devon meant the world to me. and i loved her for who she was. and we were in love because it was real.
everybody in devon s family already think that i did it. i thought it was her. i ve got to be honest with you. because she was the rough one. she was abusive towards devon. and so that was my immediate thought that this moving her i don t know, would do that. lf-serve frozen yogurt franchise. and now you have 42 locations. the more i put into my business the more i get out of it. like 5x your rewards when you make select business purchases with your ink plus card from chase. and with ink, i choose how to redeem my points for things like cash or travel. how s the fro-yo? just peachy.literally. ink from chase. so you can. for over 19 million people.
