Many people have been asking for update or a new Jessica Lane Chambers thread.  Unfortunately there is no new information.  However, we have been requested to assist in notification of a podcast by Chelsea Hoffman who will be broadcasting a discussion on Jessica Lane Chambers tonight at 9:00pm Eastern (6:00pm Pacific)

The Link Is HERE

*Note: We make no affirmation as to the host, her affiliations, or her general purpose.  We’ve never heard of her before.

UPDATE 9:15pm: I just listened to the first 10 minutes. Don’t waste your time. Moonbattery and pointless. – Lesson learned.  However, now that I posted this people interested in the Jessica Chambers murder case can just use it as an open discussion thread – I’ll change the headline

Accepting the timeline as presented, and accepting the 7:31pm USMS geo-location, one has to wonder.  “Right house, wrong Eric”? Surely, the police could not be that naïve. Surely they know there’s another Eric, a younger Eric, at the same residence.

Surely…. right?

Prior Thread – Day #83 HERE 

Something not adding up.

Previously DA Champion gave a timeline for Jessica’s activity on the day she was murdered.   The activity he outlined was based on CCTV capturing her movements, interviews with people who talked to or saw her on the day in question, and USMS technological forensics in tracking her cell phone; this is called geo-location. (more…)

The full 20 minute press conference with DA John Champion is available HERE. After some initial review, here is some takeaway.

Champion outlines not only the timeline for Jessica’s activity on December 6th, but he also inadvertently timelines the investigative authority. Confirmed within the press conference is a confirmation the Panola County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff Denis Darby, was the first law enforcement agency to respond to the murder (Saturday 12/6/14).
The next agency to assist on the case was the US Marshals Service (USMS), who became involved the next evening (Sunday 12/7/14), which is the same day DA Champion responded to the crime by arriving in Courtland Sunday afternoon.
The third agency was the Federal and/or State Alcohol Tobbacco and Firearms (ATF) team who engaged by the end of the first week due to the arson aspect of the case. Those agencies were soon followed by the FBI who, according to Champion and Darby, they asked for forensic and technical assistance. (more…)

Here’s a local and lame media report, which includes a video segment, liable to add to the frustration meter.  I doubt there is another region in the entire country whose media and reporters are as bad as North Mississippi.
PANOLA CO, MS (WMC) – It has been almost two months since Jessica Chambers was discovered horribly burned near her car in Panola County, Mississippi. Investigators say after more than 100 interviews, and one day away from what would have been Chambers’ 20th birthday, they still have no idea who killed her.
“We don’t know who it was,” D.A. John Champion said.  Chambers’ friends and family are just a few of the people around the country who want to find #JusticeForJessica.
The publicity surrounding her story caused bloggers to take their opinions and push them online. Many of those bloggers are casting criticism on Champion and the investigation into Chambers’ death. (more…)

Jessica Lane Chambers was born on February 2nd 1995. Next week she would have been 20-years-old however, she was brutally murdered on December 6th and despite a $53,000 reward the lead investigator, District Attorney John Champion, shares the case is at a standstill.
With no new evidence surfacing, it makes you wonder why the DA would be reluctant to provide the full CCTV video from her last known location – At this point, what would the police have to lose.
MISSISSIPPI – […] The brutal death of the happy teen with the sunny disposition almost two months ago has turned Courtland and Batesville upside down as people have tried to make sense of it, and tried to figure out not if there’s a killer in their midst, but who it might be.
Chambers was found on Herron Road in Courtland a little after 8 p.m. on Dec. 6, walking away from her burning vehicle with burns over 98 percent of her body. She died of those wounds. (more…)

On Thursday evening, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms put out a release announcing the addition of $10,000 to the $43,000 currently offered. That includes money from U.S. Marshals Service, FBI, Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office, CrimeStoppers, and private donations.

“We all have a vested interest in arresting and bringing to justice the person(s) responsible for this heinous crime,” said ATF Special Agent in Charge Phillip Durham. “Arson is a crime of violence leaving physical and emotional scars that last a lifetime. Only those victims who have survived understand the sheer terror of being attacked by fire. Unfortunately, Jessica Chambers’ life was cut short, as she did not survive.” (link)

Jessica Chamber’s car was doused from bumper to bumper with an accelerant, presumably gasoline.  Volunteer Fire Chief Cole Haley incident report notes upon arrival (8:13pm) “the car was engulfed in flame”.
Non-typical disposition – Upon inspection three vehicle tires were completely burned away, one was barely present.  Historical investigative presentations indicate during a “typical car fire”, the tires, along with the vehicle undercarriage, are the final elements to fully ignite.
The current pattern strongly suggests each wheel was doused, in addition to the exterior sheet metal, as gasoline was poured lengthwise around the circumference of the car.
Accepting the burn pattern as an indication of intent, the killers/arsonists appear to have wanted to torch every inch of the car, inside and out – and not just the victim herself. (more…)

While we are no longer presenting daily information, we have committed to continuing research and highlighting story updates. Here is a summary of recent activity surrounding the case to include: Lisa Daugherty interview, FBI Bulletin, reward increase and Donald Joy article.
On Thursday evening January 15th Lisa Daugherty, Jessica’s mom, gave an interview hosted by True Crime Radio. The interview is available HERE and starts about 7 minutes into the program.
Because of the poor questioning during the interview, an interviewer seemingly unfamiliar with the case and an interview style far to concerned with the feelings of the interviewer, little can be gleaned from the interview. However, what can be extracted is more detail into the victimology profile of Jessica Chambers.
Having listed to the interview twice, here’s a summary of my notes: (more…)

By now most people are aware of our decision to stop analyzing and researching the Jessica Chambers murder. If not, well now you are.  That said, and because of the exhaustive previous research by all of you genuinely good truth-seekers, an explanation is warranted and deserved.

My apologies in advance for any length of explanation – And prior to explaining, allow me to assert a belief that investigators probably know who did it.
The problem is proving it.
From day #1, when we became aware of this incident on December 7th,2014, we immediately noticed that not only did this story hold a series of various agenda items which might lead to a buried lede story (FTP and BLM protests);  but also the entire construct of the media reports themselves were indicating a very troubling beginning to what should normally be a serious murder investigation.
When you understand why, you understand the current dilemma. (more…)

Day #37 is HERE

MISSISSIPPI – […]  District Attorney John Champion says they have been re-interviewing suspects. He admits that there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered about the timeline leading up to her death. (more…)
