In the case of the murder of Tyese Jefferson, we as investigators believe that Smokey Johnson is responsible for the murder. We are able to link him to the scene because of fingerprint, footprint, and handwriting evidence. All other pieces of evidence belongs to the victim, aside from some pet hair. Investigators believe that this was a crime of passion, due to the restraining order that Johnson had against him. Tyese had ordered food from where Smokey was working. Smokey took the opportunity and slipped Iodine into her drink. She got home, took her shoes and earrings off, and began getting symptoms of Iodine poisoning, which are similar to a bad cold; except that Iodine poisoning causes bleeding from the gums, spitting of blood, or posterior. In desperation, she wrote a note saying “Please help me!” Finally she died a painful death. All the while, Smokey had been lying in wait outside. He entered the house to collect her body. Before leaving, he wrote a note saying “You will never find her!” On his way out, Tyses’s body snagged something and left a small, green, nylon fiber. Also, Smokey left a footprint in the sand around her house as he brought her body to his car. He then drove away to dispose of the body, leaving a long trail of evidence behind.

Some pictures might have been helpful
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good amount of pictures, however, I can't see them.... Maybe add a bit more description on the pieces of evidence?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kayla, the pictures don't show up.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that your scenario was different than everyone else's with the same crime scene, but when I think about it, it makes a lot more sense than the other ones like this. Very thought-provoking, great job with thinking outside the box a bit!
