Jessy said she had never seen her friend drink eye drops, but then she changed her story after meeting with detectives multiple times and said her friend mixed it in her drinks.
As the investigation into Jessy and her friend’s death continued, detectives pieced together that Jessy had stolen $290,210.06 from her friend.
Of that money, $130,204.40 had been written out to Jessy directly on a check from her friend. To top things off, Jessy’s friend did have money before Jessy started taking care of her, but she was basically broke after Jessy intervened.
Another thing investigators learned was that Jessy had a severe gambling addiction, and she would frequently lose large amounts of money doing this.
By now, investigators firmly believed Jessy had “had a motive, the method, and the opportunity” to purposely cause her friend’s death.
This past Friday, Jessy was arrested and charged with two counts of theft and first-degree intentional homicide.
