Detective Interviewee

Police were unable to find her at the listed address. Her mother said her and De'Asia had gotten into a fight weeks ago and De'Asia no longer lived there.
Jared came from a good family. He was charming. He was handsome. Popular, by all accounts.
At some point in high school, Jarrett began hanging out with a rougher crew, getting into a lot of trouble. And he didn't mind showing that tougher side to De'Asia.
All of a sudden, she shows up and says she just witnessed a woman being killed down the street.
The timeline of their story matched the timeline of Tony's murder. And the gas station was just blocks away from the crime scene itself. So investigators believe that DeAsia probably witnessed Tony's murder as well as the person who did it.
And she got a ride. DeAsia was homeless, but she knew if she went to the Texaco gas station, she could probably sleep a few hours in the security guard's vehicle.
DeAsia claimed that they smashed the window and Tony had fallen out of the car trying to get away.
Her story that two random guys stopped the car, killed Tony for no reason, then forced DeAsia to help them made absolutely no sense.
Jared claimed he wasn't dating DeAsia anymore. In fact, he said it was a very brief fling. He really didn't know her all that well, but he said he wanted to come forward to investigators because he didn't want his name tied to a murder.
De'Asia was clearly heartbroken that Jared was denying their relationship, and she got angry. She immediately changed her story to police and told them that Jared was responsible for the whole thing and that Jared was the one who killed Tony Abab.
I think there was some obligation on Jarrett's part to take care of DeAsia. After all, she had nowhere else to go. So this is when they began to think of ways to find a place for DeAsia to stay as soon as possible.
She was so in love with him that she was willing to do anything he said, anything he wanted her to do, and that included getting rid of a body.
Police were unable to find her cell phone, but Tony's keys and her wallet were still in the car. Her credit cards and her ID were still in her wallet. There was something going on here other than a robbery.
