Description

It was just after Christmas in 2011, and 22-year-old college cheerleader Saleha Huuda was found dead and burning in a brush fire on the side of the Gainesville Raceway. As the police tried to figure out how this happy-go-lucky student was murdered, they uncovered a twisted story of lies and sex all revolving around one selfish person.

argued back with him and then Cass never showed up. So I text Cass and I was like, I don't know if Tony told you, but I guess you're supposed to give me my glasses. And she's like, well, I don't know anything about it, but I'll call him. So I guess she did. And then he texts me an hour before the mall closed and was like, can you come over? I just want to talk. And then you can get your glasses.

And I was like, I'll come by, but I'm not coming inside. I went over there, he came out, we sat in the car for like two hours, he talked, begged, cried, whatever. I still said, no, I'm not going to take you back. And he gave me my glasses and I went home.

Angela agreed to give the police her cell phone for data collection. And as they were doing that, the results from Tony, Salia, and Cassandra's phones came in. It turned out that they were all pinging off the same tower at 2.27 a.m. on the night Salia was murdered. How could that be? Were they all together?

Cassandra had told police that she worked a triple shift that evening, but there was a small sliver of time between her work hours that she claimed she was at Tony's apartment and they just hung out. But when they talked to Tony's family, his brother admitted that Tony had showed up late that night looking for money and acting strange.

The cops knew that Cassandra and Tony were not snuggling on the couch that evening. Either both of them or Cassandra was driving Salia's car around with her dead body inside. So they brought Tony and Cassandra back in town. And this time, they were both under arrest.

Do you realize how serious this is? I understand how serious this is. You really understand how serious this is? Yes.

2950.789 - 2958.255 Cassandra Kimbrough

This is someone dying, murder case. I understand how serious it is. But I had nothing to do with her murder.

2960.517 - 2962.198 Detective

And you had your phone with you the whole time?

2963.581 - 2971.988 Cassandra Kimbrough

Yeah, I guess. I think I had it with me. It was empty. I usually just, like I said, I usually either leave it in the car or I bring it and just sit in the dressing in the house.
