It's a bold move to have the nude photo of your step daughter as a screen saver when she lives next door, is in daily contact with you, visits your house daily to fix you dinner and even comes over to your house to clean it.

She called everyone for help except 911

[murlthomas]

Wrapping up your step father in trash bags and leaving him under trash in the driveway looks very guilty.

Caller: “My friend called and said she killed her stepfather”

Dispatch: “soooo…. What exactly are you trying to report..?”

Me: 🤦🏽‍♀️

I wish they researched further into who owned those photos and how the stepdad acquired hundreds because I still don't understand how that happened and none of the news sites ever showed evidence of these photos.

[Willowgrey]

It’s hard to get around the fact that he had nude pictures his step daughter on his computer- hundreds of them. That is so creepy, and frightening.

Two questions:
What happened to Tom’s hard drive?
Who calls a hitman to help you get your parent into bed? 🤣

[invisibleadversary]

Just call the cops and have him arrested. Why throw away your life?

31:46 They say you can strangle someone without leaving marks if the person is already unconscious. However, according to Jade's texts, he was already waking up, so there's no way, then, she could have strangled him (without leaving marks anyway).

I think she suffocated him with the bag but told her friend she strangled him because she didn't know the difference between the two.

Let me say this: if I found naked photos of me in the shower on anyone's computer, I would go straight to the police and I will never ever pick that person up at the hospital. I would cut every tie with them and I would report them to the police.

Tom's actions were sick and outrageous. But this woman still is a murderer.

The comment section is one of the best things in a story like this. People make really interesting and clarifying comments. I love reading them.

[TheSuzberry]

Always ‘lawyer up’. Never talk to cops without your lawyer present.

Who the heck would put those pics as a screen saver on a Computer.
On a computer which is always running?!

[Hypablue]

Please never change your intro. The strings and imagery are so eerie and perfectly set the tone for all of these episodes.

[MrAxelStone]

A normal non-killer would have called 911 immediately once they realized someone was dead.

[quantumnature]

She's terrified, but goes to pick him up. Utterly ridiculous! And these guys "just won't help her" with getting her ailing dad into the house? That's ridiculous, too. Clearly, there were other reasons that those guys bolted.

[andreanicoleburke]

It's incredible how Jade goes from not killing Tom her step father to explaining how she got a wheelchair in the back of her car with her dead step father back there also. People amaze me

[KrustyKlown]

Lesson Learned: don’t leave dead bodies in the driveway

[laurenherda]

Had doubts in the beginning but those texts and purchases have me convinced one thousand percent she killed him.

[jaspervos]

As guilty as can be, but she remained so confident that everybody would buy her story.
