Crime Scene Investigator

This will be homicide case number 95336. The trees that can be seen in the distance is the area of the ravine where the bodies have been located.

There are areas of blood on the leaves and ground in between signs number three and five.

The videotaping is at sign number three, which indicates a large area of blood.

The officer is standing at the side of the road at the area where the bodies are located, just over the edge.

And there's blood spatter on that brick, so you know she's bleeding good.

And he was at work before that.

So he left and she stayed there? Yeah.

They dug into his relationship with Shantae. After that interview, John was free to go.

At this point, we're kind of in the market for everything we can get on this individual. We're trying to find out who she is.

They had seen her walking by before and she had like a little, like a fleece blanket over her shoulders, was freezing cold. And he offered to her, you know, you can hang out in my car if you want to get some free heat for a second. She agreed.

These are people that she really barely knows for all intents and purposes, so it's a super bizarre exchange. They quickly just processed this as some sort of a story, maybe just her trying to get attention. It's not until the next day where they see the news that they realize she told them something real.

She turns herself in, the black jacket with the fur hood that she has seen wearing on the surveillance the night Ms. Abad is picked up.

A citizen called about a car that looked kind of unusual. Basically, a car sitting out there, shattered glass on the driver's side, and it's really sitting out in the middle of the road.

She does learn that Jared Kemp has proactively gone to the police himself and essentially said he barely knows her.

You see a shift in her, realizing that she's at the end of her road. He tells her, this is serious. I need the truth.

Ms. Abad makes a move for her life, essentially. Reaches out, and there is a very brief, probably just a few seconds, struggle over the gun.

She actually sustained a lot of injuries from that glass coming through and striking her on the left side of her face.

When she's out on the asphalt, DeAsia would be standing over her. Now Jared Kemp is standing over her as well, and she says, please don't do this. Please don't do this.

He knew that Tony was not likely gonna be okay with them stealing the car. Someone that had seen De'Asia's face and that could possibly know De'Asia was on the phone with Jared Kemp.

They believe that they've killed her. Jared tells De'Asia, you get her hands, and he grabs her feet. And they pick her up like... an object, you know, like something inhuman, and toss her into the trunk.

So he is going to, of course, leave on foot. For whatever reason, De'Asia agrees to get in this car with a body now in the trunk.

Immediately after this crime, she was in crisis mode. And for DeAsia Page, it meant telling the first two people she saw.

Jared is really telling her in those few hours after she makes it back to the truck, it's us, it's us against the world. He really needs her not to say anything and to show her loyalty.

We questioned her on that pretty aggressively. De'Asia struggled with coming to terms with or being candid about her physical role in the actual beating of Miss Abad.

The car's kind of strewn about. Looks like maybe somebody's been through the contents of the center console. There's shards of glass everywhere inside that vehicle. And there's a couple little smears of blood right there on the edge of the seat near the driver's side door.

They're on a phone call up until the moment that car arrives at the murder scene. That is an open line, an active phone call. So we know as they rode silently in the road that night, Jared Kemp was breathing in her ear. And the phone call only terminates because he's now ready to come out of the wood line and kill Tony Abad.

She gives a full confession. She implicates herself then again to the police when she's interviewed. That was the only really route she had to go.

There is a woman's body in the trunk of the car.

There were several really critical windows where they could have turned back and chose not to.

There was so much evidence of suffering. There was so much evidence of fear.

There was nothing on the actual roadway itself that would have indicated that someone came up and struck that window where the car was parked. So we've got all this glass on the inside, nothing at all on the outside. So they know probably our original scene is going to have some glass and possibly signs of a violent struggle.

There was so much evidence of suffering. There was so much evidence of fear. The most horrific thing that most people could ever imagine.

She was loved by her coworkers, loved working there.

She remembers being concerned, distinctly concerned that Ms. Abad would say yes because of the kind of person that she was.

Looking at this young woman who was very thin, you know, really small build, she wasn't willing to leave her there alone.

You can tell she's on her phone. She's got her headphones in.

One of the detectives just sort of casually asks, hey, like, have you seen anybody meeting this description? Did you see anything last night? Sort of young girl, puffy jacket. They're like, oh, yeah, she's here all the time.

She left a big bag of clothes and, you know, her makeup and stuff and toiletries.
