Ray William Johnson 0:00
So one night, this US soldier rolls up on this other US soldier, and blam, he kills him. All because he wants his wife. Now the wife's name is Kamiya, and Kamiya is about 21 years old when this story starts, and she's living in Georgia, and she lives on a base there because she's in the military. But see, Kamiya has a big problem. Her marriage isn't going so well. She feels like she isn't getting the attention and affection that she really wants. But then, one day, around 2017, 2018, she meets this guy, Jeremy. And Jeremy, he's in her platoon, and she thinks he kinda foine. And he thinks she kinda foine. And he needs a ride home that day, so she offers to give him one. And soon, this kind of becomes a regular thing.

She gives him rides to or from work, and sometimes he'll repay her by putting gas in her car or offering to buy her food. And, you know, nothing inappropriate happens. Like, they don't cross any lines because they're both married. But they keep hanging out and they keep talking. And then around 2018, all that changes. Because Kamiya and her husband, who is also in the military, they're both deployed to South Korea, where they're supposed to stay for the next nine months. Now coincidentally, Jeremy is also deployed to South Korea.

How did Kemia's affair with Jeremy Cuellar begin?

Ray William Johnson 1:24
So now he's living on the same base as Kamiya and her husband. So while they're in South Korea, Kamiya and Jeremy keep hanging out like they've been doing, And they get closer and closer. And soon enough, they start smashing. And this dude, he ends up falling in love with her. He starts showering her with like money and gifts and stuff. Now this whole time, Kamiya's husband has no idea that this affair has been going on. I mean, they're like sneaking around behind his back. Now, Kamiya's husband is actually this guy, Tyrone. Now, Tyrone, he's not dumb. Like, he eventually notices that Kamiya has got this new friend, Jeremy, and that they've been hanging out a lot lately, and he's starting to not like it.

So he tells her to stay away from him, because Jeremy has kind of a bad reputation. A reputation as a guy with a bit of a temper. And Kamiya's like, okay, but she doesn't really listen. She keeps hanging out with him, and they continue to smash. Now, at some point, Kamiya decides that she really wants to be with Jeremy, like permanently. And instead of seeking out a divorce from Tyrone, she's going to have him assassinated. That way, he'll be out of her life. Plus, she's on his insurance policy, which means that if he were to die, she would then receive $400,000.

So she goes to Jeremy and she starts talking about how nice it would be if her husband were dead and how she would then get $400,000. And then she talks about all the things that she would do with that kind of money, like paying off her house. And Jeremy's like, you're talking like you want him to die. So then Kamiya basically pitches the idea to him that if he kills her husband, she'll get hundreds of thousands of dollars and then they can be together permanently.

And Jeremy hears this plan and I guess he's like, alright. So the two of them get to work and they start plotting exactly how they're going to take out Tyrone and how they're going to get away with it. And they make sure to use Snapchat. That way their incriminating messages disappear. And so a few months pass and we're still in 2018. Now at some point, their deployment to South Korea ends, and they all three come back home to Georgia. And they aren't back very long before the holidays hit, and it's around Christmas time. So Kamiya and Tyrone, they fly up to Michigan to visit with Tyrone's family, and they end up staying at Tyrone's dad's house. While they're there, Kamiya's murder plot is still in full effect.
Ray William Johnson 4:00
Their plan is to have Jeremy drive all the way up to Michigan to take out Tyrone while he's at his family's house. I guess that way no one will suspect that Jeremy is the one who did it. So Jeremy drives up to Michigan. And the whole time, Kamiya is messaging him over Snapchat, keeping him updated on Tyrone's whereabouts and whatnot.
