Murder With My Husband · 258. The Killer Cadets - The Murder of Adrienne Jessica Jones · 3 Mar 2025 podcast

So her mother was like, hey, you might be interested in becoming a behavioral analyst. But she didn't seem to ask why Adrian had this sudden change in interest or if something or someone in particular had sparked it. So after their workout, they returned home to settle in for the night. By then, it was around 10.45 p.m., so after Adrian's curfew.

It's after her curfew, but the phone rings when they walk in the door. Adrian answers. Adrian took the portable phone to her bedroom. Remember, we're in the 90s. And then walked around the house chatting while puttering around with laundry and a few other things. Eventually, Linda, her mom, told Adrian, hey, go to bed. Before Linda went to bed.

But Adrian wasn't planning to go to sleep anytime soon. Instead, she waited until everything was quiet. And sometime between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., she slipped past her parents' bedroom and out the front door of the house, completely unnoticed. Around 6 a.m. the following morning, Linda woke up to the sound of Adrian's alarm clock ringing in her room.

After realizing Adrian wasn't doing anything to turn the alarm off, Linda got up groggily and wandered into her daughter's room, only to find that Adrian wasn't there and her bed was neatly made. Now, Linda's first instinct is Adrian just went out for an early morning run, something she would do. But by 8 a.m., when Adrian still wasn't back, Linda started to panic.

She immediately called the Mansfield police, who sent an officer to the house to help them file a missing persons report. Meanwhile... Okay. Okay. Oh mein Gott. Wir wissen, wer das ist. Plus, there were a few telling clues about what might have happened.

Like, the girl appeared to be clutching the grass, which told detectives this was where she died, than rather where she had been moved and left after she was killed. And it only took a few hours for them to realize the Jane Doe matched a missing persons case that had just been reported over in Mansfield. The deceased body was 16-year-old Adrian Jessica Jones.

So one of the first things detectives need to allow after making the connection is, is this an abduction? There's no indication of a struggle in Adrian's home. Plus the autopsy doesn't show any signs that Adrian was restrained or bound. She also didn't really have any defensive wounds of any kind.

So they quickly realized that Adrian must have willingly left her house, whether that was with the attacker or not. But this also told them that she probably knew her attacker. So they start compiling a list of friends, coworkers and fellow students to speak with. But because Adrian was so popular, it kind of turned out to be a pretty long list.

They began asking around, was there anyone that Adrian didn't get along with? Maybe someone was angry with her, was a girl jealous of her. And that's when the wild theories and rumors started to emerge. And you have to imagine in this small town in Texas in the 90s, Eine populäre Frau wird tot. Sie sprechen mit den Leuten in der Schule. Und die Leute fangen einfach an zu sprechen.

Jemand sagte, dass sie Adrienne gehört haben, dass sie alle Nacht Rave verbracht hat, die etwa eine Stunde von Mansfield entfernt war. Es gab Geräusche, dass Adrienne vielleicht jemanden dort kennengelernt hätte, der sie getötet hätte. Oh. Andere sagten, nein, nein, nein. Adrienne wusste Drogendealers, die turned out to be completely baseless. Dude.

The problem with in a town like this, it probably wasn't just the kids.

A few even mentioned a former friend of Adriens who had been angry with her ever since Adrian told the girl's mom that she was drinking at a party like she tattled on her. So there was a ton of speculation, but not much evidence, which only made things even harder for police. But there seemed to be one thing a lot of kids at Mansfield High could agree on. The killer was likely in their halls.

They had a locker beside them probably. They were sitting across from them in the cafeteria. They were sharing a school project with them.

Und der Grund, warum das die Theorie ist, ist, weil die Polizei glaubt, dass sie rausgeflogen ist, um mit jemandem zu verabschieden. Und diese Person hat sie getötet. Ja. Sie war wahrscheinlich rausgeflogen, um mit jemandem zu verabschieden, der ihr eigenes Alter ist und aus der Schule kommt. Also sind es 2500 Schüler in ihrer Schule. Also, es wäre nicht einfach, es zu vergrößern.

Wir sind Theresa und Nemo und deshalb sind wir zu Shopify gewechselt.

Linda sagte, als der Telefon um 10.45 Uhr klingelte, hat Linda gefragt, mit wem Adrian gesprochen hat, und Adrian sagte, es war ein 18-jähriger Junge, erinnere dich, Adrian ist ein Junge, namens David Graham, der auf Adrians Cross-Country-Team war.

Linda wollte Adrian den Telefon anrufen, dass es über ihr Bett war, aber Adrian hatte einen interessanten Blick auf ihre Gesichter, und sie schrie ihrer Mutter, er ist überrascht über etwas. So Linda let her keep chatting, thinking, okay, she's just being a good friend. But sometime during that conversation, Linda heard Adrian switch callers.

She was now talking to her new boyfriend, a 19-year-old boy named Tracy Smith. But when Tracy, her boyfriend, asked her who she was just speaking to on the phone before him, Adrienne doesn't say David Graham, the 18-year-old, like she had told her mom. She said she was on the line with a third boy. So she either lied to her mom or actually did talk to all three boys.

It was a kid named Brian McMillan, who had dropped out of her high school after suffering from depression, but he still had a big crush on her. So if she did lie, why? Well, some of her friends think it's because Tracy knew Brian and didn't feel threatened by him.

But if she said she had been speaking with someone else, a senior on her track team, then Tracy, her new boyfriend, might have felt jealous. So they think that she's lying to her boyfriend, is what the consensus is. Still, it's not Tracy that Linda, the mother, is worried about.
