The Case Of Jaleayah Davis

THE CASE WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR BIGGEST DEEP DIVES YET. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IT HAS LEFT US ASKING THE QUESTION OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT MILE MARKER 181?

THIS IS THE CASE OF JALEAYAH DAVIS. 


JALEAYAH ROSE DAVIS WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 2ND, 1991 IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO, TO KIMBERLY NOALN DAVIS. 


JALEAYAH LIVED IN THE TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY OF MARIETTA, OHIO. WHICH IS JUST ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER FROM WEST VIRGINIA. 

JALEAYAH WAS A GRADUATE OF MARIETTE HIGH SCHOOL AND SHE WORKED AT THE RETAIL STORE HOLLISTER. 

HER AND SISTER TAUBI WERE REALLY CLOSE. ONLY BEING BORN 18 MONTHS AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. SO IT WAS KINDA LIKE A BUILT IN BEST FRIEND. TAUBI HAS SAID THAT JALEAYAH REALLY WANTED TO GO TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A COSMETOLOGIST.




ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2011 JALEAYAH PLANNED ON GOING OUT WITH ONE OF HER NEWER FRIENDS KRISTEN BERTCHOLD. SHE ARRIVED TO KRISTEN’S HOUSE IN VIENNE, WV AROUND 7PM THEY BAKED SOME COOKIES, SHOWERED, THEN GOT READY FOR A PARTY. 

THE PARTY WAS AT A GUYS HOUSE NAMED BRIAN SAPPS. KRISTEN KNEW HIM BUT JALEAYAH HAD NEVER MET HIM BEFORE. RIGHT BEFORE THEY GOT THERE JALEYAH WAS TEXTING WITH HER MOTHER AND HER MOTHER SAID “BE GOOD AND DON’T MAKE ME WORRY. LOVE YOU.”


THEY GOT TO BRIAN'S HOUSE AROUND 9-9:30. WHEN THEY GOT THERE SOME OF KRISTEN’S FRIENDS WERE ALREADY THERE. 

FREDDIE SCOTT AND ANOTHER KID NAMED JORDAN. 

THE ESTIMATED TIME FOR JALEAYAH AND KRSITEN BEING AT BRIAN’S WAS ABOUT 2 HOURS. 

AROUND 11 PM KRISTEN,JALEAYAH,BRIAN,FREDDIE AND JORDAN LEFT TO GO PICK UP KRISTEN’S FRIEND KATY NELSON AT HARDEES BUT IN KRISTEN’S INTERVIEW SHE SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 10 TO 10:15. 


IN KRISTEN'S INTERVIEW SHE SAID SHE COULDN’T REMEMBER IF THIS HAPPENED BEFORE OR AFTER THEY PICKED UP KATY BUT FREDDIE STOPPED AT THE NORTH END MARKET TO GET ANOTHER BOTTLE OF CIROC VODKA. AFTER THIS THE GROUP RETURNED TO BRIAN’S HOUSE. 

WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE KRISTEN SAID THAT JALEAYAH CONTINUED TAKING SHOTS OF ALCOHOL SHE SAID THAT AFTER KATY GOT TO THE HOUSE JALEAYAH PROBABLY TOOK 16 SHOTS OF ALCOHOL.   

NOW I’M NOT A BIG DRINKER SO I WASN’T SURE HOW MUCH 16 SHOTS WOULD MEASURE OUT TO. SO I FILLED A SHOT GLASS WITH SOME WATER AND MEASURED. IT CAME TO 3 AND ½ CUPS OF ALCOHOL. 


KRISTEN SAID SHE PROBABLY HAD 14 TO 15 SHOTS AND THAT SHE “WASN’T REALLY THAT DRUNK”


SHE WAS ASKED COULD YOU TELL ANYTHING ABOUT JALEAYAH, HOW SHE WAS FEELING?

“WELL, HONESTLY I DIDN’T THINK SHE WAS THAT DRUNK. I THOUGHT THAT WHEN SHE TOOK THE SHOT GLASS AWAY FROM ME AND TOOK A SHOT ANYWAYS I KIND OF HAD A FEELING THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT DRUNK BECAUSE NORMALLY SHE WOULDN’T DO THAT IT I WERE TO TAKE I AWAY FROM HER SHE WOULD JUST …


QUESTION - ACCEPT IT?


YEAH. SO, I WAS KINDA LIKE OKAY MAYBE SHE IS JUST DOING THIS TO SHOW ME THAT SHE CAN LIKE TO TAKE THIS SHOT. SO, I DIDN’T REALLY ARGUE WITH HER ABOUT IT. 


AFTER THEY GOT BACK TO BRIAN’S HOUSE KATY HAD TO DO HER MAKEUP AND CHANGE HER CLOTHES. 

THEN JALEAYAH, FREDDIE, JORDAN, KATY AND KRISTEN WENT TO NIP N CUE.

IT’S SAID THAT THEY ARRIVED ABOUT TEN MINUTES TILL MIDNIGHT OR PROBABLY MIDNIGHT, OR CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT. 


WHEN THEY GOT THEIR THE GIRLS ENDED UP JUST HANGING OUT OUTSIDE. KATY’S EX-BOYFRIEND CHRIS WAS THERE AND FROM WHAT WE GATHERED THEY WERE THE KIND OF EX’S WHO STILL KEPT IN CONTACT.

KRITSEN SAID THAT SHE FIGURED JALEYAH WAS DRUNK BECAUSE SHE ENDED UP DANCING ON CHRIS AND WOULD TALK REALLY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER. SHE SAID THAT KATY WAS GETTING AGGERVATED BUT WASN’T THE TYPE TO DO OR SAY ANYTHING. 



AFTER A WHILE KRISTEN WOULD END UP TRYING TO TAKE JALEYAH’S WRISTLET BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID THAT SHE WOULD LOSE IT BUT SHE WOULDN’T GIVE IT TO HER. 

SHE SAID THAT JALEAYAH DIDN’T SEEM OVERLY INTOXICATED.

DID YOU CATCH THAT? IN HER INTERVIEW KRISTEN SAID SHE THOUGHT JALEYAH WAS DRUNK BUT THEN SAID SHE DIDN;T SEEM OVERLY INTOXICATED. ONE OF THE MANY THINGS LIKE THIS IN HER INTERVIEW. 


THE GROUP WOULD END UP LEAVING NIP N CUE AROUND 3 AM AND FREDDIE WAS DRIVING EVERYONE BACK TO BRIAN’S HOUSE. 

KRRISTEN WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND JALEYAH AND KATY WERE IN THE BACK. WHEN THEY GOT BACK TO BRIAN’S HOUSE THEY ENDED UP STAYING INSIDE FREDDIE’S CAR. 

QUOTE “WE WERE SETTING THERE IN THE CARY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO, IF WE WERE GOING TO GO INSIDE OR IF WE WERE GOING TO GO HOME. JALEAYAH WAS TALKING TO DOMINIQUE HALL ON THE PHONE AND I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO GO HANG OUT WITH HIM OR WHOEVER HE WAS WITH AND SHE COULDN’T FIND HER WRISTLET. HER WRISTLET WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR AND SHE WAS GETTING LIE, SHE WAS FUSSING WITH ME ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THAT I DID SOMETHING WITH IT AND I TOLD HER THAT I HAD TRIED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU LIKE A FEW TIMES TONIGHT SO THAT YOU WOULDN’T LOSE IT AND SHE BASICALLY WAS LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS. SHE WAS KIND OF LIKE BLAMING ME FOR IT AND I WAS LIKE I DON’T HAVE IT. SO, I FOUND IT FOR HER AND WE FOUND HER KEYS BECAUSE SHE NEEDED TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF HER CAR AND UH WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO GO HOME. AND WE THOUGHT THAT JALEAYAH WAS GOING TO COME WITH US BUT SHE ENDED UP CALLING HER SISTER.. AND ASKED HER TO COME PICK HER UP AND SHE SAID SHE NEEDED A RIDE. SO, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS TRYING TO HANG OUT WITH THAT GUY OR IF SHE WAS TRYING TO GO BACK TO HER HOUSE.” END QUOTE.


DURING HER INTERVIEW KRISTEN WAS ASKED DID YOU HEAR WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE TAUBI GET HER AT?

QUOTE “I DON’T THINK SO. SHE WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SHE SAID TABI I NEED YOU TO COME PICK ME UP AND I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON WHEN YOU GET HERE AND SHE DIDN;T TELL HER WHERE TO PICK HER UP BUT SHE, WE, SHE GOT OUT OF FREDDIE’S CAR AND WENT TO GET IN HER CAR AND WE WERE ASKING HER, WE WERE SAYING IS YOUR SISTER FOR SURE GOING TO COME PICK YOU UP? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DRIVE ANYWHERE? ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DRIVE? IF SHE HAD ANY INTENTIONS OF DRIVING THEN I WASN’T GOING TO LET HER GO AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WASN’T GOING TO DRIVE SO WE WERE LIKE OKAY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO JUST STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR YOUR SISTER THEN WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO HOME AND WE, WE LEFT THERE AND HER SISTER, ME AND HER SISTER GOT IN TOUCH AROUND 3:50 AM AND HER SISTER IS LIKE WHERE IS JEALAYAH. I TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS IN FRONT OF BRIAN SAPP’S HOUSE AND SHE SAID THAT SHE COULDN’T GET A HOLD OF HER AND I TOLD HER THAT JALEYAH WAS WAITING FOR HER THERE AND THAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO PICK HER UP THERE. I KIND OF LIKE EXPLAINED BRIEFLY HOW TO GET THERE. AND SHE SAID THAT SHE COULDN;T GET A HOLD OF HER AND CALL ME BACK IF YOU DON’T GET A HOLD OF HER. WHEN THE UH I TRIED TO CALL JALEYAH AND SHE WASN’T ANSWERING AND WE WENT THROUGH McDONALDS. WE WENT THROUGH McDONALDS, GOT SOME FOOD AND FREDDIE WAS TAKING KATY BACK TO MY HOUSE. SO, THEN I GET A CALL FROM TAUBI ON MY WAY HOME THAT WAS LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHERE JALEYAH IS, DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS, HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER. I SAID I HADN;T TALKED TO HER SHE DIDN’T ANSWER AND THEN RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOT OFF THE PHONE SHE SAID OH MY GOD AND HUNG UP THE PHONE.” END QUOTE 



IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER WE MENTIONED CHRIS WHO WAS KATY’S EX BOYFRIEND. I WANTED TO GET THRU MOST OF THE NIGHT THRU KRISTEN’S EYES BEFORE I TOLD YOU WHAT HE SAID IN HIS INTERVIEW. SO WE KNOW CHRIS WAS KATY’S BOYFRIEND BUT WHAT WE DIDN’T KNOW IS THAT HIM AND JALEAYAH KNEW EACH OTHER. IN FACT THEY BEEN FRIENDS SINCE THE 9TH GRADE AND SINCE HE NO LONGER LIVED IN THE AREA THEY KEPT IN TOUCH. HE SAID THAT HE HUNG OUT WITH THE GIRLS FOR MOST OF HIS TIME AT NIP N CUE. HE COULDN’T RECALL ANY FIGHTING OR ARGUING HAPPENING BETWEEN THE GIRLS BUT HE DID RECALL THAT JALEAYAH WAS PRETTY DRUNK AND THAT SHE HAD ON HEELS AND SEEMED TO BE HAVING A HARD TIME. HE SAID HE KINDA JUST STOOD AROUND NEAR HER BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T SEEM LIKE SHE WAS FEELING VERY GOOD. HE SAID THAT SHE WAS FALLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. 


SUCH A DIFFERENT STATEMENT FROM KRISTEN’S AND I HONESTLY HAVE TO WONDER WHY?? 

CHRIS SAID THAT HE ENDED UP PICKING KATY UP FROM KRISTEN’S BETWEEN 3:30 - 4AM. HE ASKED KATY WHY JALEYAH WASN’T WITH THEM AND SHE SAID THAT KRISTEN AND JALEAYAH GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT. 

WHEN CHRIS AND KATY WOKE UP THAT MORNING THAT’S WHEN THEY FOUND OUT JALEAYAH WAS DEAD. 



IN TAUBI’S INTERVIEW SHE SAID THE LAST TIME JALEAYAH TEXTED HER WAS AROUND 9:50PM. SHE SAID THAT JALEYAH CALLED HER AT 3:28AM TO SEE IF SHE WOULD PICK HER UP. 3:33AM TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT TAUBI AND HER FRIEND WERE ON THEIR WAY. 

DURING ONE OF THE CALLS IT’S SAID THAT TAUBI COULD HEAR JALEAYAH ASKING KRISTEN FOR HER KEYS SO SHE JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE AT KRISTEN’S HOUSE. 

SHE SAID THAT JALEAYAH WAS GOING ON ABOUT HOUSE KRISTEN WAS A BITCH AND A BAD FRIEND. JALEAYAH SAID SHE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE BUT SHE DIDN’T SAY IF SHE HAD ANYONE ELSE IN THE CAR OR NOT. 


IN TAUBI’S INTERVIEW SHE SAID “YEA AND IT WAS BECAUSE ME AND MY FRIEND COULDN’T GET A HOLD OF JALEAYAH ONCE WE HAD GOTTEN TO WILLIAMSTOWN AND I WAS LIKE WELL MAYBE SHE IS STILL WITH KRISTEN. I WILL TRY TO CALL KRISTEN. SO, THEN I CALLED HER AGAIN AT 3:53 AND SHE ANSWERED AND THEN WAS LIKE AS WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LAST I REMEMBER HER SAYING WAS WELL JALEAYAH WAS MAD BECAUSE AND THEN IT KIND OF WENT BLANK AFTER THAT AND THAT WAS LIKE WHEN WE PULLED AND SAW EVERYTHING AND I JUST LIKE IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP ON HER AND ALL PANICKY AND THEN…”


ON I-77 AT MILE MARKER 181 TAUBI AND HER FRIEND CAME AROUND A CURVE TO SEE A BUNCH OF COPS. THEY PULLED OVER AND A POLICE OFFICER TOLD THEM A WOMAN'S BODY HAD BEEN FOUND ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL THEY WOULD TELL HER IS THAT IT WAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE WEARING A WHITE PEA COAT. AT THAT MOMENT TAUBI KNEW IT WAS HER SISTER, SHE CALLED HER MOTHER AND EVERYONE IN THEIR FAMILY WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE NOT TOO LONG AFTER THE CALLS. 

THE POLICE CONFIRMED WITH THE FAMILY AFTER THEY ARRIVED THAT THE BODY WAS JALEAYAH’S.


IN HER INTERVIEW TAUBI SAID AFTER SHE HUNG UP QUICK WITH KRISTEN SHE GOT TWO CALLS AT 4:07 AND 4:09 FROM KRISTEN. 

TAUBI WAS ASKED “AND WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER AT THE TIME YOU CALLED HER?”

TAUBI SAID “UM, JUST WHAT WE HAD DROVE UP ON AND OH MY GOD LIKE WHAT I SAW AND LIKE I WAS JUST LIKE CRYING AND I ENDED UP HANGING UP ON HER.”

SHE ALSO SAID THAT KRISTEN TEXTED HER AT 4:49 AM AND WAS LIKE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN SHE TEXTED ME AT 10:06AM AND WAS LIKE ARE YOU AWAKE, IS EVERYTHING OKAY YOU HAVEN’T TOLD ME ANYTHING. AND THEN SHE CALLED ME AT 11:46AM. 


TAUBI WAS ASKED IF SHE TALKED WITH KRISTEN AND SAID SAID “NO I HAVE MISSED CALLS FROM HER. SHE CALLED ME AT 4:16 AM AND I DIDN’T ANSWER IT. 4:28 AM AND I DIDN’T ANSWER IT. 4:48AM AND I DIDN’T ANSWER IT AND THEN 9:52 AM AND I DIDN’T ANSWER IT AND THEN AT 11:46 AM AND I DIDN’T ANSWER IT. 



 

BEFORE TAUBI GOT TO THE ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 19,2011 AT 3:41 AM 911 EMERGENCY CALL CENTER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL.

“OK, I JUST WENT BY AND THERE WASN’T ANYONE THERE SO I JUST THOUGHT I’D CALL”

911 - OK, THANK YOU 




SO MANY THINGS DID NOT ADD UP IN THE DEATH OF JALEAYAH TO THE DAVIS FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY. AS MOST OF YOU CAN GUESS THERE WERE RUMORS THAT KRISTEN AND FREDDIE WERE INVOLVED IN THE DEATH OF JALEAYAH. SO MANY THINGS JUST DID NOT ADD UP TO MAKE IT A SIMPLE CAR ACCIDENT. 


JALEAYAH’S CAR WAS FOUND A QUARTER OF A MILE PAST WHERE HER BODY WAS FOUND. HER KEYS WERE STILL IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND STILL IN GEAR AND THE DOOR WERE LOCKED. 

IT’S SAID THAT JALEAYAH’S CAR DID NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY  SO YOU HAD TO LOCK IT FROM THE INSIDE. 

NOW YOU WOULD PROBABLY THINK OH HER CAR MIGHT’VE JUST COASTED IN A STRAIGHT AWAY THAT MAKES THE MOST SINCE. 

HOWEVER HER CAR HAD TO GO THRU TWO CURVES.

NO BLOOD WAS FOUND IN HER CAR. THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE WAS DONE ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE SO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE WITH A SCRAPE GOING DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE DAMAGE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT WITH A VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR EVEN HITTING A DEER AT 70 MILES PER HOUR THAT WOULD EJECT THE DRIVE FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ALSO SPIDERING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDOW. 


JALEAYAH’S CLOTHING IS ANOTHER THING IN THIS CASE THAT HAS LEFT EVERYONE ASKING QUESTIONS. 

HER CLOTHING ARRAIGNMENT WAS ODD. 

SO COURT IF YOU TAKE OFF YOUR OWN CLOTHES OR THEY MIGHT BE PULLED OFF IN AN ACCIDENT YOUR TOP LAYER WOULD BE THE FIRST LAYER TO COME OFF RIGHT?

YEAH

THEN YOUR SHIRT, BRA, WHAT NOT RIGHT?

YEAH 


JALEAYAH’S CLOTHING WAS FOUND FOLDED NEATLY ON THE GUARDRAIL. HER BRA WAS ON THE BOTTOM, THEN THE SHIRT, THEN HER WHITE PEA COAT. 

(WHICH YOU CAN SEE IMAGES OF THIS AND ALL OTHER THINGS WE TALK ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE ON OUR INSTAGRAM AND MORE IMAGES ON OUR WEBSITE MOUNTAIN STATE MYSTERIES PODCAST DOT COM)


THE HOOD OF THE PEA COAT WAS FOUND TO BE OVER THE GUARDRAIL AND IN SOME BRUSH WITH BLOOD ON IT. 

WHICH THERE IS BLOOD JUST EVERYWHERE IN THIS CRIME SCENE. IN THE ROAD, ON THE GUARDRAILS, ON HER CLOTHING.

JUST NOT IN THE VEHICLE. 




IN 2012 A WOMAN FROM MARIETTA, OHIO WHOSE NAME IS EMBER STAFFORD CAME FORWARD TO POLICE WITH AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF WHAT SHE SAW THE NIGHT OF JALEAYAH’S DEATH.

SHE SAID THAT SHE MET JALEAYAH AT A BAR EARLIER THAT NIGHT AND WITNESSED A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN HER AND TWO BLACK MALES AND A WHITE FEMALE IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE BAR.  SHE SAID SHE WITNESSED JALEAYAH PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE OTHER FOLLOWING HER. SHE SAID THE TWO CARS WERE ENGAGED IN HORSEPLAY ON 1-77 BEFORE THE VEHICLE WITH THE THREE INSIDE FORCED JALEAYAH’S VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. SHE SAID SHE SAW JALEAYAH GET OUT OF HER VEHICLE. 


IN JUNE OF 2012 EMBER AGREED TO A POLYGRAPH WHICH SHE FAILED. 

AFTER THE POLYGRAPH DURING SOME QUESTIONS SHE SAID SHE MADE UP THE ENTIRE STORY.

SHE RECEIVED 6 MONTHS IN JAIL AND A $500 FINE. 




IN MARCH OF 2013 JALEAYAH’S AUTOPSY WAS RELEASED IT DESCRIBED HER DEATH AS MULTIPLE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES SUSTAINED AS A RESULT OF UNRESTRAINED DRIVER OF A CAR THAT LOST CONTROL AND STRUCK A GUARDRAIL ON I-77. THEY ALSO SAID ALCOHOL INTOXICATION WAS ANOTHER FACTOR.


WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS WHAT AUTHORITIES BELIEVED HAPPENED TO JALEAYAH. 

WHILE DRIVING UNRESTRAINED AND HEAVILY INTOXICATED JALEAYAH TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL ON HER RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE MAKING AN INITIAL IMPACT ON THE FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT. SHE WAS THROWN ACROSS HER VEHICLE AND EJECTED FROM HER RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AT THE SAME TIME HER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE THEN HIT TWO POSTS THEN FLIPPED BACKWARDS OVER HER CAR. 


JALEAYAH’S MOTHER KIM SAID THAT POLICE WANT THEM TO THINK THAT HER DAUGHTER WAS A HUMAN BOOMERANG AND THAT WHAT THEY SAID HAPPENED COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN. 

SHE ALSO SAID THAT JALEAYAH’S CLOTHS. SHE SAID THE SHIRT WASN’T BADLY DAMAGED AND THAT THE BRA WASN’T TORN AT THE STRAPS THAT IT WAS TORN UNDER ONE ARMPIT.


NOW WITH JALEAYAH “FLIPPING” YES I USED AIR QUOTES OVER HER CAR SHE MANAGED TO PUT ZERO DENTS ON IT. THE ONLY THING SHE GOT ON IT WAS BLOOD ON THE LICENSE PLATE. 

AND ON THE PASSENGERS FRONT WINDOW THERE WAS NO BLOOD, SKIN, FABRIC FIBER ON IT WHATSOEVER. 


AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THAT JALEAYAH GOT DISTRACTED AND THAT CAUSED HER TO STRIKE THE GUARDRAIL. 

KIM SAID “WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY BELIEVE THE REASON SHE WRECKED IS BECAUSE SHE WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BECAUSE HER DOME LIGHT WAS ON. WHICH ISN’T TRUE THEY FORGET THAT WHEN IT WAS DARK WHEN I DROVE UP ON THE SCENE AND THEY FORGOT THAT IT WAS DARK WHEN TAUBI DROVE UP ON THE SCENE. TAUBI REMEMBERS MANY THINGS FROM THAT NIGHT IN GREAT DETAIL. AND TAUBI SAYS THAT DOME LIGHT WAS NOT ON.”


MANY ITEMS OF JALEAYAH’S WERE LEFT ON THE SCENE OF THE CRIME. SUCH AS THE HOOD OF HER JACKET. AN EARING SHE WAS WEARING. 

KIM SAID A DETECTIVE TOLD HER FATHER THAT THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF THE EARING AT THE CRIME SCENE BUT LEFT IT THERE. 

JAYLEAYAH’S FAVORITE KEYCHAIN WAS ALSO MISSING. IT WAS A JEWEL ENCRUSTED J THAT TAUBI GOT HER AS A GIFT. IN AN EPISODE OF STILL A MYSTERY TAUBI SAID THAT JALEAYAH NEVER TOOK THAT KEYCHAIN OFF.

LATER IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT KRISTEN ACTUALLY HAD THE KEYCHAIN. SHE GAVE SEVERAL REASONS AS TO WHY SHE HAD THE KEYCHAIN. 

SHE TOLD SOME PEOPLE THAT JALEAYAH ENDED UP GIVING IT TO HER AS A GIFT THAT NIGHT.



FROM WHAT WE CAN SEE FROM ALL OF THE CASE RECORDS THAT WE HAVE THE GROUP THAT WAS WITH JALEAYAH THAT NIGHT WAS NOT QUESTIONED MORE THAN ONCE. 

THEY SAID THAT KRISTEN, KATY, AND FREDDIE ALL HAD ALABIAS. DURING THE CALLS BETWEEN JALEAYAH AND TAUBI THERE IS SECURITY FOOTAGE FROM McDONALDS OF FREDDIE. IN THE FOOTAGE YOU CAN SEE FREDDIE AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE TWO OTHERS IN THE CAR WITH HIM. 

NOW WHO WAS IN THE CAR WITH HIM TO US IS UNKNOWN SINCE YOU REALLY CAN ONLY SEE HANDS MOVING IN IT. 

THE VIDEO WAS TIME STAMPED BETWEEN 3:26 TO 3:30AM.




IN JUNE OF 2018 EMILY NESTER RELEASED A PODCAST TITLED MILE MARKER 181. 

SHE WORKED CLOSE WITH THE JALEAYAH’S FAMILY TO SHED LIGHT ON HER CASE. SHE TOLD KIM THAT PEOPLE HAD APPROCAHED HER ABOUT A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT JALEAYAH’S DEATH. IT WAS SOON FOUND OUT THE DOCUMENTARY WOULD BE CENTERED AROUND NESTER AND HER RIISE IN THE WORLD OF TRUE CRIME. 

EMILY POSTED AN OFFENSIVE VIDEO ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE ABOUT JALEAYAH’S DEATH. KIM POSTED THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH EMILY OR THE PODCAST. 

THE POST READ

“JALEAYAH DAVIS IS NOT A MARTER. JALEAYAH DAVIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF POLICE MISS CONDUCT, COVER UP, OR BRUTALITY, OR LITERALLY ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE INTOXICATED. THAT’S THE LESSON NOT COPS PROTECTING THEIR OWN. THE LESSON IS THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU MAKE THE CHOICE TO DRINK AND DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE DRIVING INTOXICATED AND YOU CRASH. IT’S NOT A POLICE COVER UP IT’S PHYSICS . IT’S NOT THERE'S SOMETHING MORE SINISTER GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES IT’S THAT PEOPLE SYMPATHIZE WITH A GRIEVING CRYING MOM TO A FAULT. I SURE DID AND IT WON’T EVEN BE THE LAST TIME. STOP LETTING KIM DAVIS PLAY YOU FOR AN IDIOT. I DID THAT GROUNDWORK FOR YOU.”


NOW AFTER THIS WAS POSTED EMILY HAS TAKEN DOWN THE PODCAST SHE CREATED. MULTIPLE TRUE CRIME BLOGS HAS SPOKEN VERY NEGATIVELY ABOUT HER. SHE HAS NOW BECOME VERY DISCREDITED IN THE WORLD OF TRUE CRIME. 


I’M SURE JUST LIKE US, EVERYONE ELSE LISTENING TO THIS RIGHT NOW IS WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT THIS CASE.




THE GENERAL THOUGHT IN MARIETTA IS THAT IS THAT JALEAYAH MET WITH FOUL PLAY THAT NIGHT. YES WE KNOW SHE WAS INTOXICATED BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT SHOW THAT A PROPER INVESTIGATION WAS NOT PERFORMED INTO THE DEATH OF JALEAYAH DAVIS. 



THERE ARE MANY THEORIES ABOUT THIS CASE. KIM DAVIS RUNS THE FACEBOOK PAGE JUSTICE FOR JALEAYAH DAVIS AND SHE BELIEVES THAT HER DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED AND THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH ARE BEING PROTECTED BY THE AUTHORITIES.




IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE DEATH OF JALEAYAH DAVIS PLEASE CONTACT HER MOTHER KIM THRU THE FACEBOOK PAGE JUSTICE FOR JALEAYAH DAVIS
