Murder in Minot
If there's a chance that you crawled in the window and killed this girl, you know I can't, bro.

LaQuandra “Shavonne” Slater (4 of Clubs, Michigan)
LaCondra has a couple different male friends that are very sketchy and in contact with her at the time she went missing.

She said she was in fear for life because she had gotten voicemails from the ex-boyfriend, John, and she played the voicemails for me and I listened to them. One was, quote unquote, bitch, I will kill you and I will slash those tires and I will go in your crib. LaQuadra told me that John was about 19 years old, but she had been dating him.

Upon reaching the area of 13th and Saginaw Street, Adam rammed the back of LaQuandra's vehicle as she was pulling into a parking lot. And then she got out of the vehicle and ran. As she was getting out of the vehicle and trying to run away, he struck the vehicle again. So they end up charging him with assault with intent to do great bodily harm.

So with that charge, you don't necessarily need a conviction to go back to prison in Michigan. If you violate parole, they'll send you back.

He said it was really unusual for her because she typically always paid at end time. So he was also concerned.

They did go inside. Everything appeared to be normal in her apartment. There was nothing that was alarming or suspicious in the apartment. LaQuandra was a very neat person. The refrigerator still had food items that were fresh. Everything appeared to be pretty undisturbed.

The snakes not being looked after, it was extremely unlike Laquandra. Those were her babies, and she took care of them.

When he had spoken to her, she kept talking about her mother and was crying, saying she was tired of being by herself and doing the same thing every day. So from a couple different people, we've kind of heard that LaQuandra was kind of like a caretaker for her mom.

But he thought it was suspicious that she got emotional because she didn't normally do that. But that was like really the only thing that he could say was odd.

They asked him, do you know of anybody else that she would talk to that we could go talk to and see like when they last talked to her? He said no. He knew that she was dating a black male on and off for several years. However, he didn't remember his name.

Martin said that the male had gone to prison for crashing a vehicle that belonged to LaQuandra into LaQuandra and that he had gotten out of prison approximately one month prior.

Keep getting the description of like a very strong woman, like we call it gangster. But I mean, she could take care of herself, obviously.

Does that change your opinion about the timeline? Just my experience with liquor stores, they only have meats like that for a couple days prior to the expiration date. They don't keep meat long at these party stores.

So they figured sometime between the 1st and the 5th was when she was in the store. He allowed him to look at the video. However, the video only saved for nine days. So they missed it by four days.

So it's not a great timeline. I mean, we're used to working with like a day or two in good situations, but to have it be this wide was a downfall from the beginning.

So we figured that on December 1st, she would have gotten paid that $733, and her normal actions would be to remove that money immediately that same day, but she did not.
