0:00 911. Where's your emergency? Um, it's in Elkart, Indiana, uh, on Melody Lane. I was sitting on the couch and uh, one of my mom's friends was getting home from work. one of her roommates and I'm going to run up the uh deck and and was screaming and then she sounded like she got like a handcuffed over her mouth and she got pulled away. We need somebody, I guess, to be sat here and ran away. That was part of a call that an 11-year-old named Jeff made to dispatchers just after 11:30 p.m. on August 8th, 2011 from inside his trailer. He'd been home with his mom and little brother, expecting his mom's roommate and coworker, Jessica Star, to be coming home any minute, like any other normal night. But he's pretty sure that he just heard her getting attacked in front of their home. And now having called the police, he is staring out the open front door into the pitch black night, watching his mom call for Jessica

1:08 from the front porch with her gun in hand, afraid that someone might still be out there. But it is now completely silent. They can see Jessica's two-door Pontiac parked close to their front porch in front of the house, but the driver's side door is wide open. Just then, Jeff and his mom, Terry, heard this rustling sound at the side of the house. Almost like someone was running off. But her children's safety was her first priority. Terry stays on the porch, gun in hand, waiting for police to arrive. And thank God, it's not long.

1:44 Police cars pull down the dark road, and as soon as their cars are in park, cops are scouring the property. And it's when they walk to the side of the house, the side where Jeff and Terry heard that rustling, that's when they find Jessica. And it's bad. She's got bruises on her arms, her throat has been cut, and she'd been stabbed. So by the time they get to her, it's too late. She's already gone.
