it turns out there was an alibi, says boone, and a pretty solid one. we were trying to base it on a time line if he had the opportunity to be able to do something like this. at that point, you know, his alibi was clear. you know, to me, until someone is convicted, everyone is still a suspect. but you remember that possible evidence the family found at jennifer s grave? almost as if she was down there tosstiing it to us. somebody left a bracelet and fraternity ring at the headstone. to tom they were evidence his suspect, chris, had left them there out of his continuing remorse. to pat moug, they were evidence tom morgan had staged the items to direct attention away from his own guilt. but something detectives call staging. well, as it turns out, they were both wrong. actually had a ring. dateline found another of jennifer s college buddies.
that s not evidence apparently. so if that s the way that evidence, potential evidence was treated, i m sure there s not much. but even as tom says he tried to dampen the anger that was eating him up, he kept finding what looked like evidence. jennifer s grave itself seemed to be throwing up strange tantalizing clues. almost as if she was down there tossing it to us. nine years after jennifer s death, her father, jim, was tending her grave clearing away weeds. he was edging around the back of the headstone, and he was down here with just a little edger to clear the grass away, and he popped out a fraternity ring. had to be a fraternity with those distinctive markings. odd that after that long a period of time that someone would come and obviously felt this tremendous remorse or whatever their feelings were

they arrest this person? how long is this going to take? and why wasn t it today? is it going to be tomorrow? all the old impatience, the frustration, the crazy feeling came flooding back the minute tom s parents found that fraternity ring at jennifer s grave. tom had sent it to lead investigator kenny boone hoping boone could trace it back to the jealous would-be boyfriend and thus solve the case. and, well, dream on. finally when i did talk to him, his response was, it s not illegal to put a ring under a headstone. so he took his frustration to the next level of law enforcement, the state police. but, says tom, the dismissive response there was yeah, we re working on it. we re working on it. we re working on it. working on it? angry now, tom fired off a legal request, a demand really, to see whatever evidence the state police had. and he received a letter instead.
