For her even though she didn t want to hear them. here s a quote from the transcript of the interrogation. i said, jennifer, promise me one thing. she was like, what? i said, promise me that you know i love you. nything ever happens. she was like, you know, quit. nothing ain t going to never happen to me, and it did. one more thing, chris told boone he argued with jennifer about their relationship and left her trailer about 10:30 the night before her death. i felt like this could be it because the motive could be there because of his jealousy or anger. investigator boone alerted the polygrapher. it was time to take that test. and meanwhile, who was leaving gifts at the cemetery and why? we found a bracelet at jennie s grave. ....
Right back. what d they say? positive for gasoline. boone sent the body to the forensic pathologist. there was no soot, no carbon monoxide in her lungs. we knew she had to be dead prior to the fire. but who would have wanted to kill jennifer? and why? she was very, very loved by a lot of people. and she was just that kind of kid. you were just drawn to her. tom morgan was inconsolable but found some comfort in believing his sister s killer would be found. i had complete confidence in our law enforcement. i had complete confidence that they were doing all the right things and that they were going to bring this thing to some closure for us. and so did that arson investigator in charge of the case. after all, the murder and the fire to cover it up all happened in broad daylight, right in the middle of a mobile home park next to a busy four-lane highway. ....
