A few months later, Jennifer's defense team filed a motion to suppress because, turns out, after her arrest, she'd made several statements to investigators that did not do her or Robert any favors.

The longer a case goes unsolved, the quieter it can become.

On Park Predators, I've reported on crimes that happened years, sometimes even decades ago.

And I'm always aware that for the families involved, time doesn't always make it easier.

That's one of the reasons I listened to the deck.

According to court testimony from the GBI agent on this case, after Jennifer was arrested in January for the murder, she willingly spoke with investigators in New York State.

According to the GBI agent, during that recorded interview, she waffled back and forth about what had actually happened to Dwayne.

For example, she initially said she didn't know anything about Dwayne's death, but then her story evolved.

And by the end of the interview, she'd completely reversed her version of events.

In her final statement, she'd said that she, Robert, and Dwayne had driven in Robert's car to a park area and Robert got out.

She saw him walk down a trail by himself and then a short time later, he returned and helped Dwayne out of the vehicle.

After that, she watched the two men stroll down the wooded path out of sight.

And eventually, only Robert came back.

When he returned, he informed Jennifer that he'd walked Dwayne about three-quarters of a mile down the path and then struck him in the head and face with a rock.

Agents with the GBI subsequently reviewed the statements that Jennifer made to New York investigators and realized that a lot of what she'd said aligned with the evidence at the crime scene.

For example, the fact that Dwayne had been found with blunt force trauma injuries to his face and that a rock with what appeared to be blood on it had been discovered near his body were apparently not details that had been released publicly.

So the fact that Jennifer had brought those details up in her interview indicated that what she was saying was credible.

She'd also described the area of the national park where she remembered the group had pulled over.

And when a GBI agent compared her descriptions with details of the spot where Duane had been found, it lined up.

Jennifer had also told New York detectives that shortly after the murder, she and Robert had driven to a Payless shoe store and purchased new sneakers for him.
