Episode 2 - The Night Before

Following the murder of Catalina Palomino, 15-year-old Jennifer Jeffley gave nine evolving statements to the police over two days, eventually culminating in her confessing to being involved in the murder. In this episode, we break down the statements she gave before her confession, finding some notable inconsistencies. We also look at the verdict of the appeal court regarding her statements and confessions. We'll look at the confessions in Part 2.

The name "Mike" or "Michael" comes up a few times in the case file - but we don't know any of the key players by the name Mike. So who is the mystery Mike? We dig into it in this mini-episode. Email any thoughts to [email protected], and remember to check out the case file and trial transcripts at http://jenniferjeffleycase.wordpress.com

In Episode 3 we finally piece together the witness statements from the morning of Catalina's death, and come up with a timeline of events.  We also marked the 25th anniversary of Ms Palomino's murder on October 29th this year. Rest in peace, Catalina.

On October 29th 1996 78-year-old Catalina Palomino was murdered in her apartment in Houston, Texas. Her 15-year-old neighbour, Jennifer Jeffley, was arrested and confessed to being involved in the murder. She was found guilty at trial and sentenced to life in prison. Despite her confessions, and not denying involvement at trial, Jennifer now maintains that she was not involved in the murder.  My name is Danni, and I'll be looking into the murder and whether or not Jennifer was involved. In today's episode, I set out what happened, how I became interested in this case, and explain why the picture painted by Jennifer and her advocates may not be the whole truth.  Check out the case files yourself at http://jenniferjeffleycase.wordpress.com.
