This Topics.net was an online forum website where you could post anonymously. All you had to do was create an account. Well, we found that Janelle Potter had created multiple accounts, and she would post something as one person, then log in under another account and comment on it, log in to another account and comment on the previous comment that she had just made.
On its face, it looks like there are multiple people, for lack of a better way of saying it, talking trash, but they all seem to have some common threads and be saying the same things and communicating in the same ways, using the same rhetoric, the same punctuation, the same spelling mistakes.
It looks like there's people engaging with each other, but it's really just one person.
Once we got the social media and the internet returns on the search warrants for the email, instant messages, all that, we had found where Janelle had sent pictures of Chris. or who she was claiming to be Chris. And it turned out to be a guy that she went to high school with up in Pennsylvania.
We found him, and she had been stealing his pictures off of social media and passing them around saying, hey, here's Chris.
He thought that I was kidding. I mean, he remembered Janelle. He remembered having a couple classes with her. He remembered that, you know, she was kind of socially awkward, that didn't really get along with people, didn't have any friends. And he was nice to her. She has apparently held on to that her entire life.
And unbeknownst to him, was passing him off as a CIA agent who was her guardian angel, as she called him.
And when we called him as a witness, I remember saying, the state calls Chris Jaden. And the heir left the courtroom as this guy walked in. And Janelle Potter, if you could have seen her face... When Chris Jaden comes walking down the aisle, across the bar, and sits down in the witness chair, it was priceless.
And over the years, people have asked me, you know, what was that case about? And there's no way for me to sit down in 60 seconds and explain to you what happened just because of the sheer unbelievability of it. How a mother and a daughter can convince a father that these two people are so much of a threat that they need to die.
know and the way they did it you know just through these incessant constant social media and email exchanges that have to be printed and shown to buddy i mean nobody in the potter family i mean nobody had a job nobody really left the house except to go to the store and they had nothing else to do than to sit around and stew over this stuff and
I mean, I guess you can only be told something so many times in so many different ways before you kind of start believing it.
I really think that had the case not been resolved as quickly as it had, that There were other people in Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth's friends group that may have been targeted.
Of all the homicides I've dealt with in 15 years of practice, I mean, this was, there'll never be a more senseless, pointless murder than that of Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth. There's no reason that this had to happen.
