Its not easy. Its not. She was a good mom. She loves the kids. Reunited at last. They celebrated. Then on the drive home there was a car there stranded. Vince tells his wife that he is going to check on them. I heard two, three he was landing there with what appeared to know several Gun Shot wounds to the head. Her husband, father of five, dead. No one could understand it. The time of person that he was. I dont think he ever had an enemy. Or did he . He said we are now in debt to bad people. We knew that there was another personal that needed to be looked at. A winding investigation leading deep into the dark. This sounds like a love triangle. Its horrific. Brutal. Why . Are you kidding me . Pop kinsville, kentucky. Corn fields, Picket Fences and patriotism. Just to the south is Fort Campbell. Home to more than 13,000 army soldiers and their families. After facing danger all over the world, soldiers return to a collective sigh of relief. After all, Bad Things arent supposed to happen here. But when one young sergeant returned from a tour in afghanistan, he had no idea the enemy would be much closer to home. Multiple gunshots to his face and head. He had only been back from fighting in the war for such a short period of time. It was tragic. My heart sunk. Sergeant vincent Gos Lynn Jr. , a father of five had served in the army for seven years as a Quarter Master and mechanic. Did vince ever express to you what it meant to serve his country . He loved it. To hamilton, his cousin. As he explains it, they were much more than that. Were you like a Big Brother To Vince . Yeah. With him, i dont know, weighed bond. He had an outgoing personality. He had a crazy little grin when he was doing something mischievous. And he recalls the mischief they got into in a small michigan town called cadillac. We would be play in the creeks, climbing trees, just anything outdoors. We would leave in the morning, come back at night when it start to get dark. We actually built a raft out of old barrel thats we flew in the water and tied sticks to it and never floated. Sounds like huckleberry fin. Yeah. His Mom Left at 8 months old so he was raised with his dad. I think his dad was married six times so that was a little tough on him. Janet considered her his surrogate mom. She said growing up he spent a lot of time at her house. His son was his friend. Sne he was like one of the boys. They did everything together. It seems like you had quite a connection. We did. What was that about . I think a lot of it was i never judged him. Vince was, you know, the purist tattoo kid. The droopy pants, the spiked hair. And i just treated him like, you know. And then one day he came to her with life changing news. Was he scared finding out he would be a dad . He was probably scared. He was afraid that i would be mad at him. And i wasnt mad at him. Vince had two sons from two relationships by the time he was 18. But janet says he only ever saw them as blessings. How was vince as dad . He was awesome, he changed that diaper, he cleaned up the puke. He didnt care. His kids were his world. Then someone else entered his world. A Home Town Girl named jessie. Vince Loved Jessie unconditionally and you could see it. He was happy. How were Jessie And Vince when they were together . They had a lot of fun. They loved tricking out The Cars. Jessie liking cars. That sounds like a match made in heaven. Yeah. And i know she went throughout and worked on The Cars with him. She got her hands dirty. They had a lot in common that way. And janet said he started to settle down, moved in with Jessies Family and quickly bonded with her dad, a vietnam vet. He was the one who suggested the military might be a good way for vince to get on the straight and narrow. So vince joined the army in 2005. He was 21 years old. This is a boy who has gone from Baggy Pants and spiky hair to now hes going to have the military cut and the uniform. Uhhuh. Thats like a 180. It is a 180. It is what he needed. You must have been really proud of him for making that stop. I was always proud of him. I am still proud of him. The military comes with danger and risks. It is. Did you worry about vince going overseas . You always worry. But there is an lot you can do when your children make decisions, except for support them. I was not going to tell him no, dont do it. I think he did the best that he could. I think he knew what he was doing. With Vince Career heading in the right direction, he took another big step and popped the question. Jessie said yes. There was a connection between them two. They loved each other to death. They would argue. I think they just argued just so they could make up. Some people say that is best part. It is. After the wedding, kids soon followed for the happy couple. Two girls and a boy. As a sergeant in the earl, vince spent a lot of time overseas so it was up to jessie to handle the home front. It is not easy having a husband who is away. It takes Someone Special to end dur that and get through that. Tim says somehow Jessie And Vince made it work. Seeing them as a family, they looked like a great family. By 2012, Vince And Jessie had been married six years. Despite some bunches, Tim Thought Life was good for vince and his family. Shortly after returning from afghanistan, vinces second tour there, tim got an unsettling call from him. What did he tell you in that call . He told me that he needed, he needed to talk on me and he wanted to see me. He didnt want to talk to me over the phone. Was it kind of cryptic . I think he knew something was going on. Something bad . The sound of his voice. If something happens, i wanted you to know whats going on but he wouldnt tell me anything. Did that leave with you an uneasy feeling . It did. A if you days later on february 3rd, Vince And Jessie went out to dinner to celebrate his return at a place called ocharlies. They started driving home back to the base and then turned off to this dark and winding road. The road where evil Was Waiting. I dont know where my husband is. Coming up, a wifes harrowing tale. I just stopped on the side of the road. Soon after, another driver makes an alarming discovery. Over there to see if he was awake, alert, something. When even Was Waiting continues.

Comcast business. Powering possibilities. Reporter it was a moonless, February Night in hopkinsville, kentucky, around 8 00 pm, when a frantic call came into 911. Yes, um, i just stopped on the side of the road. My husband Got Out to see if some guy needed help. Reporter Jessie Goslyn told the operator that her husband, Sergeant Vincent goslyn, had been shot when he tried to help a motorist stranded on the side of the road. Jessie was hysterical. Listen to me. Listen, listen, listen. I cant understand a word youre saying. Youre going to have to calm down and talk to me. Reporter as she tried to calm down, jessie told the operator after being shot, vince came back to their car but was unable to get in because a man was pulling him back. My husband tried getting in the vehicle. He couldnt get in the vehicle. He screamed for me to go. Reporter jessie says she drove away from the scene as her husband had instructed. I dont know where he is right now. Reporter minutes later, another 911 call came in. Theres a guy thats been killed. Hes dead. Down the road from my house. Reporter this is the man who made the call. Walter ferguson said he was getting ready to visit his cousin when he heard the gunshots. Livin around here, we hear a lot of gunshots. So i didnt think nothin of it. I got in my truck, started to come down the road, and as soon as i crest the hill, i saw the trucks lights came on and he hit just bolted off. Reporter so what did you do when you when you saw this truck . Well, i mean, i i went and turned around, and as i came back around, i made sure my high beams were on and i ended up seein his body. Reporter there on the side of the Road Walter spotted a man, lying face down in the dirt. So, i stopped and i tried yellin at him and talkin to him to see if he was awake, alert, somethin. And i started lookin for my phone and i didnt have it on me, so i had to end up zoomin back to the house to call 911. Reporter christian County Detective Ed stokes raced to the scene. We were just notified that there had been a shooting on Fidelio Road and one male, possibly deceased. Reporter tell us what you see when you arrived here at the scene. The first thing i noticed was sergeant Goslyns Body Layin here in the gravel, with a large amount of blood around the body. Reporter could you tell if he had been shot . We found what appeared to be Gunshot Wounds to the head, and the Shell Casings laying near the body inside the Crime Scene backed up the the thought that he was shot. Reporter you say he was shot in the head correct. Reporter and the face . Correct. Reporter was this personal . Its personal to me because that person that that shot him nine times wanted him dead. Reporter while Detective Stokes worked the Crime Scene, about a quarter of a mile down the road, deputies were talking to jessie. She was hysterical, crying, almost sometimes where you couldnt even understand what she was saying. Reporter theres jessie on her knees, collapsed on the side of the road. This was a wife who had clearly been through a traumatic situation . She had just watched her husband get shot multiple times, yes. Reporter detectives took jessie back to the station to get her statement. Her stomach, it seemed, couldnt take the horror shed just witnessed. Im gonna be sick. Let me get a Garbage Can for you or something. Reporter by now, Christian County commonwealths attorney, Lynn Pryor, had been notified. I remember them telling me a man had been killed On The Road, that his wife was there. She had been a caller. And there was another witness that had heard shots but didnt actually see who had fired the shots. What did you think when you heard that a soldier from Fort Campbell has been gunned down . Hes barely been home from his tour of duty. It hurt. We take a great pride in having Fort Campbell as part of our community the fact that our soldiers protect us every day. And we wanted to make sure that we got justice for him. Reporter was jessie able to describe the person who shot her husband . She initially described him as a black man. And i believe thats pretty basically all the description she was being able to give. Reporter jessie also described the killers car. What kinda car . An old one. One of them big ones. What color was it . I dont know, like a reddish brownish color. Reporter it wasnt much for police to go on, and to make it even more difficult, the eyewitness, walter ferguson, had seen something different. Reporter describe the truck that you saw speeding off. Um as he passed me, i could see that it was, like, a white truck. And i saw the fourbyfour on it, but that was about as much as i could see on it. Reporter so the witness had seen a white Truck And Jessie said she saw a reddish brown car. Investigators had a lot to sort out a murdered soldier, a distraught wife, an unknown motive, and a giant secret about to be discovered. Coming up jessie reveals a bombshell about her husband. That could blow the case wide out. Coming up he had told me, he said, we are now in debt to bad people. If this story checks out, thats pretty serious. If we could prove that, yes.

Reporter back at the Christian CountySheriffs Department, 25 year old Jessie Goslyn continued to speak to detectives. She was emotionally and physically distraught and she kept asking about her husband. Jessie still hadnt been told if he was dead or alive. Stomach feel any better . Not really. Is there anything you need . No. Okay. My husband. Okay. Well, just sit there and relax. And i want my mommy. And i want my kids. Reporter finally, the detective came back and broke the news about vince. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Im really sorry for your loss. Reporter the tragic news of Vinces Murder spread fast throughout the base, and to family members. Janet, vinces surrogate mother got a call from jessies mom. And she just said, janet, theres been an accident. Vince has been shot. And i was devastated. I was like, what . What what do you mean, hes been shot . Reporter vinces cousin, tim, immediately left his home in virginia and traveled to kentucky still in disbelief. How can he survive two times in afghanistan, come home to be shot by some worthless thug that didnt even know him . You mustve felt so horrible for jessie and for the kids. Absolutely. Ii mustve called her at least 50 times, you know, trying to figure out whats going on and be there for her and the kids. Reporter by now, jessie had left the Christian CountySheriffs Department and headed home. Shes picked up by a friend, taken back to her house on Fort Campbell. Reporter the day after the murder, local Police And agents from Fort Campbell were canvasing the goslyns neighborhood. This is now a mix of Army Investigators and local investigators . It is. Reporter they knocked on the door of Kay And William ray, the couple who lived next door to the goslyns. What they had to say was so compelling, they asked them to immediately come in for an interview. You said you have some information about something that, uh, ms. Goslyn had told you. Pertaining to some trouble her husband was in . Somehow or another got involved with a Drug Dealer, at least 20,000 of meth. And got jumped and stole away from him. Well, being that happened, these guys were supposedly after him for the money. Reporter the rays explained to the investigators, jessie had told them about the Drug Dealers weeks before the murder. She seemed worried at all about what was going on . Shes been pins and needles ever since this has happened. Okay. Shes been scared, shes feared for her life and her childrens. Ok. Did they ever say who these people were . No. Or where these people were from . Or anything like that . No, never said a word about that right there. Reporter later that day, Detective Stokes says Kay Ray convinced jessie she should talk to Military Investigators, tell them what she told local police. It turned out to be a fateful decision. Jessie gets in with the the friend and they go to cid headquarters. Reporter with Kay Ray sitting next to her for support, jessie gave a detailed explanation about why she turned down that deserted road. She said as they were driving home, she was at the wheel, and she started to feel sick. Vince suggested they pull over. And he said, theres a road. Turn down it. I turn down the road. He told me to drive until there was a spot we could pull off. Reporter she said thats when they saw the vehicle with the hood up and vince Got Out to help. Not long after she heard Gun Shots. I heard, like, two, maybe three, like, like, popping sounds. And my husband had rounded the edge of the Passenger Side of the vehicle. He was trying to get in. And the guy was behind him and he kept pulling him back out. He was hitting him. All my husband kept saying was, go drive, go, get out of here. Reporter she described a chaotic scene with a random motorist, but then investigators asked her about vinces involvement with those Drug Dealers, suggesting perhaps it wasnt so random after all. Jessie told them what she knew. He had told me that, he had bought a large quantity of methamphetamines. He said, we are now in debt. To people to bad people. About 20,000 . We had to check into his drug usage, if we could find anything out from friends, family if he was using or even dealing drugs. If this story checks out i mean thats pretty serious. If we could prove that, yes. Reporter while jessie did her best to give the investigators leads, police working the case in The Field got a new lead of their own and it sent them in a very different direction. Coming up did Vinces Killer threaten jessie, too . She was getting Text Messages from this man she said . Thats what she indicated, yes. And that he would kill her and her children, if she didnt comply with what he was telling her to do.

Now back to dateline. One day after the murder of sergeant vin goslyn, evidence was gathering fast. In The Field, detectives were gathering evidence and talking to witnesses, and at Fort Campbell, the Interview Rooms were filling up. In one of those rooms, Jessie Goslyn. When you have Drug Dealers that are after you, you never know what the hells gonna happen. Reporter jessie had given Law Enforcement a possible motive for her husbands murder. She said vince owed money to Drug Dealers a lot of money. Did you know who the Drug Dealers were . No, i dont. Reporter Prosecutor Pryor was getting regular Phone Updates about all the witness interviews. But to her, jessies was the most important. Jessie gave Police A key new detail. She said on the night of the Murder One of those Drug Dealer contacted her. Did you have to talk to the Drug Dealers directly . Reporter she was getting Text Messages from this man, she said . Thats what she indicated, yes. And that he would do harm, or kill her and her family, her children, if she didnt comply with what he was telling her to do. Reporter thats when jessie admitted she didnt drive down Fidelio Road because she was feeling sick. I got a text that told me to turn On The Road. What did the text say . Turn on this road, or turn on the next or what did it say exactly . It told me to turn On The Road after the stoplight. Okay. If you do not your whole familys dead. Reporter she said she felt she had no choice but to go through with what the man said, even though she suspected something bad was about to happen. I kind of figured it as were gonna down here and youre gonna get your ass beat. Reporter as Jessies Interview on Fort Campbell headed into its second hour, sheriffs detectives across town were working on tracking down the truck seen leaving the murder scene, figuring if they could find the truck, they would find the killer. I heard about three or four shots. Reporter walter ferguson, the witness who had described seeing a white colored 4x4 Truck speeding down the road, gave police more distinctive descriptions about the vehicle. The headlights were higher than my hood, so they were, like, in my eyes. Okay, so kind of a lifted truck. Yeah. Was it loud . It was like very loud. Could you find it easier, quicker, being lifted up and loud. Reporter detectives quickly found neighbors who told them theyd seen a truck just like that many times in the neighborhood. They searched Dmv Records and found the truck. It was registered to a former soldier who had lived on base at Fort Campbell 24yearold Jarred Long. Jarred long was very much a Person Of Interest at that point. Reporter hes not on base anymore . No. Reporter where is he . We didnt know. Reporter so Detective Stokes says Law Enforcement immediately got busy trying to find him. We actually put an intent to locate out all surrounding states and counties from here to colorado where he was from. And in fact, he was stopped by a trooper in colorado. Reporter he mustve really hightailed it out of kentucky to get to colorado that fast. Quick. Reporter when he was pulled over was he driving a raised white truck . He was in a Light GrayDodge Pickup truck that was lifted with large tires and loud exhaust, matching the description of our witness. Reporter so youre thinking you might have your man here . Yes. Reporter he might have thought he had his man, but police decided the fact that Jarreds Truck matched the description of the Eyewitness Wasnt enough to arrest him. They stalled as long as they could i think, and ultimately had to let him go. Reporter thats potential evidence driving away. Who knows whats in that truck, whats on his clothes . I mean, you have its all it could all be destroyed. That was all evidence, potential evidence, that we wanted to get our hands on, and had no ability to do so at that time. Reporter thats tough. Very tough. Reporter but detectives pressed on, and while trying to figure out who Jarred Long was and why he would want vince dead, they uncovered new information about their main witness jessie. Coming up jessies neighbors reveal that they, too, had seen Jarreds Truck outside jessies house. How often would you see that vehicle there over that period of time while vincent was deployed . Maybe two or three times a week . When evil Was Waiting continues. G continues. In america according to j. D. Power. Number one in reliability, 16 times in a row.

Strong hair with new Dove Breakage Remedy. Reporter at Fort Campbell, Jessie Gosyln was talking to a Military Investigator giving possible clues about her husbands killer. Meanwhile, Detective Stokes and others from the Christian CountySheriffs Department thought they were on to something. They believed they had located the truck from the Crime Scene and knew the name of the driver, Jarred Long. Now they needed to know why he would be involved in Vinces Murder. Our units detectives along with the cid agents from Fort Campbell did a Neighborhood Canvas on post. Reporter and what they discovered was a bombshell. Neighbors said theyd seen Jarreds Truck, not just in the area, but parked in jessies driveway. Kay ray lived next door. I would see him driving the truck with her and the three kids. I would see her driving the truck with the kids. Reporter and what she said next really got the investigators attention. Reporter how often on a weekly basis, would you see that vehicle there over that period of time while vincent was deployed . Maybe two or three times a week . Reporter as you looked deeper into this potential relationship between jarred and jessie, how serious was it . From what we could gather, they lived together on base. And if Sergeant Goslyn came home for any reason, then Jarred Long would leave for a couple of days while he was here. Reporter it was stunning. Stokes was now convinced. Jessie was not the devoted Army Wife she seemed to be. Instead, she was at the center of a deadly love triangle. Both men in love with jessie. Correct. Jessie in love with one man . I believe so. Reporter to the detective, evidence that jarred and jessie were a couple was piling up, like when police ran the plates of the Car Jessie was driving the night of the murder. It came back to Jessie Goslyn and Jarred Long. Reporter they owned a car together. How did she explain their names being together on the same car . She said she couldnt get a loan herself so he cosigned for her. So she had a logical explanation for that. By now, police had had enough of jessies shifting stories and confronted her with what they knew. Jessie, we know there wasnt a black guy. There was, yeah. No, we know. Yeah, there was. That it was jarred. We know that his truck was there. It was not, no. Everything that witness has said has been true. No. Yeah, very true. No. Reporter he told her they knew all about her romantic relationship with jarred. Jessie admitted she and jarred hung out together but continued to deny there was anything sexual between them. She said they were friends, and he stayed there on the couch and that was it. Reporter jessie did admit she and vince were going through a tough time, but she claimed they were working things out. I always reassured vince that, im not just gonna walk im not that person. Im not gonna leave you. Um, we were planning on going to marriage counseling. He actually called friday before we left. Reporter and besides, she said vince knew all about jarred. Vince knew that he had been staying in the house. Reporter but investigators didnt believe her. More than three hours into Jessies Interview, after repeatedly denying she and jarred had a romantic relationship. We did not have sex. Reporter jessie finally changed her story. There was times when i was drunk. Yes, im sure we had sex. I knew that jarred loved me. Right. And i know he loves my kids. Ok. Reporter when investigators told prosecutor Lynn Pryor that jessie had admitted to having a romantic relationship with jarred, she knew this was a big moment. They were planning a life together. Reporter that could be a motive. Absolutely a motive. Because who was in their way of being together for the rest of their life . Her husband. Reporter and jessie had another possible motive. As a military wife, she would receive a big payout from her Husbands Life Insurance policy, 450,000. She certainly couldve benefitted greatly from the death of her husband. Reporter before jessies eight Hour Interview was over, she had admitted to seeing jarred the day before the murder. He wanted me to meet him at the motel while he was in the town. I said fine. We had lunch, and we talked, and we did have sex. Reporter but it wasnt the sex investigators were interested in. Jessie had one more story to tell. She claimed that jarred had talked to the Drug Dealers and if he roughed up vince, somehow, that would satisfy them. Then she said jarred told her what her job would be. He told me, you need to meet me on this road. You need to pull down to the shoulder where you can pull off. Im gonna set your husband straight. Reporter but the prosecutor and detectives werent buying it. Instead, without realizing it, jessie had finally given them what they needed. Reporter why is there now enough to arrest her . Because shes admitted her part in getting vincent to the location where he was ultimately killed. In kentucky, being an accomplice to murder is the same as actually committing the murder. Reporter that grieving wife, hysterical by the side of the road, getting sick in front of police, was charged with her husbands murder. Let me see your hands as for Jarred Long, because of Jessies Admission that she and jarred had a plan to harm vince, police now had enough to arrest him too. They tracked him down again, this time near his home in colorado. They did a felony stop, called him out, made him go prone on the ground and placed him in cuffs. Reporter they had a warrant to search his truck this time . Colorado authorities were able to obtain a warrant for mr. Longs truck. They found a Shell Casing that ultimately was matched to the Shell Casings found at our murder scene. And they swabbed the truck, which eventually led to evidence that indicated Gunshot Residue had been left in several places around his vehicle. While thats not 100 confirmation that someone has fired a weapon, it is very indicative of the fact whoever handled the Driver Handle on the door, the gearshifter and the Steering Wheel on the truck had recently fired a weapon. Can i ask you to take that seat over there . Yes, sir. Reporter Colorado Police brought jarred in for questioning. Unlike jessie, he didnt hesitate to talk about his romantic relationship with her. We hooked up awhile back. It was sometime around september. We started going out, then the next thing i knew, we were living together. I knew she was married. I knew it was horrible, but reporter he also admitted to being in kentucky on the day of the murder, but he says he left before dark. When do you think you left . About 5 30. Reporter what he didnt know was jessie had already pointed the finger at him. She has spoken with the detectives and she has told them about the plan that you guys had. Excuse me . She puts her and vince and you at the scene and the witness puts you and your truck at the scene. But you need to help us out at this point, jarred, and explain to us what happened there. I believe at this point, i need to say stop and that i believe i need a lawyer. Ok. Because this has gone well beyond what im capable of, so reporter they now had two suspects in custody. And as for that Drug Dealer story, Detective Stokes says that was just a Hoax Jessie cooked up to throw off police. And she told the story to several people, including her neighbors, the rays, who unwittingly corroborated her story. Reporter did you ever find any evidence that vince was involved in some type of Drug Deal gone bad . No. Reporter that men were were out to get him and his family . No, we did not. We couldnt find anything that that would take us there other than her story. Reporter janet, vinces surrogate mom, was horrified when she learned that jessie, the woman who had seemed so good for vince, was now implicated in his murder. I was devastated. I was like, why is she arrested . Reporter did you think she was capable of of Killing Vince . Never. Never. Why . Theres divorce. Why wouldnt she just get a divorce . Reporter but even with jessies story, and the evidence against jarred, the case was far from closed. An unexpected twist was about to put the whole investigation into a tailspin. Reporter did you worry that one or both of them could get away with murder . Prosecutors face a major setback. I was livid. None of the arguments i made were convincing to the judge. Reporter is their case about to collapse . I was devastated all over again. vo at tmobile for business, unconventional thinking means we see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most.

Prosecutor lynn prior already felt she had a solid case against jared long. And after his arrest, police found more evidence in his truck. There was one spot of blood that belonged to vincent. This is bingo right here. This is more evidence than i had in most of the Murder Cases i prosecuted. How do you explain the victims blood on your backpack when youre hundreds of Miles Away . You cant. Unless youre the person who killed him. Reporter but prior knew the case against Jesse Wasnt as airtight. It was very much a circumstantial case. This wasnt as much physical evidence on her. Reporter did you worry that you wouldnt be able to get a conviction . Somewhat. Jared long was not giving us anything in regard to implicating jesse. We knew it was her involvement that got jared to when vincent was killed. Reporter how were you going to prove that . With her own words. Reporter enter Defense Attorney Mark bryant. He represented jared long. He had a plan that could benefit jesse, too. His strategy was to get Jesses Interview with police thrown out. How would he do that . Mrs. Gosselin told the local Police Department she didnt want to talk. She wanted a lawyer. I want an attorney. Under the law, you have to break up any questioning. And they did. And they sent her back home to ft. Campbell. Reporter but you might remember after that, her friend convinced jessie to go speak to the Military Police on base. Jessie gosselin spent eight hours with the Police After that very day she wasnt going to talk without a lawyer. It was just a different Police Agency. Reporter bryant argued in front of a circuit judge, since jessie asked for a lawyer, the Military Police should never have questioned her. The judge agreed. He made a decision that that confession that she made, implicaing our client, should be set aside, because the Law Enforcement agency for the Military Police should have followed the same rules that earlier Police Department in Christian County followed during that day. Jessie Gosselins Statement was thrown out. The news hit Vincents Family hard. Hearing the news that vince was killed was horrible. But what the Justice System did was unfair. We thought they were going to get away with it. Reporter that was a huge blow. It was devastating. Without Jessies Statement about how all this happened and the planning that went into vincents murder, our case was circumstantial, at best. We had the physical evidence that jarred was found with in colorado. And we had the neighbors who had seen him at jessies house. But the connection between the two and the reasoning behind the murder was gone. Reporter but prosecutor prior wasnt going down without a might. She filed a motion with the kentucky court of appeals. And jessie and jarred was out and about, relatively flee froo e. How did you feel about jessie and jarred being out on Ankle Bracelets . I was livid. I argued to the best of my ability why someone who was charged with such a heinous murder should be out on an ankle monitor. None of the arguments i made were convincing to the judge. Reporter and everyone waited and waited. Four, long years went by and sided with the prosecution. What is that like when you get word that the statement will be allowed . I was relieved. Reporter prior considered her options and concluded of the two, jarred deserved the harshest punishment. Jarred took the life of vincent goslyn. We wanted to make sure he received the maximum punishment. Reporter to do that, the Prosecutor Needed Jessies videotaped statement and she needed jessie to tell the whole story, that she and jarred planned to murder vince. We needed her testimony about the reasons why they planned to kill vincent and the way they planned it out. Reporter so, the Prosecutor Maid a bargain. If jessie pleaded guilty and could testify against jarred, she would recommend a sentence of 22 1 2 years behind bars. She agreed to this Plea Deal . She did, after long talks and a very heated discussion. Reporter now, with time served, the woman who had played the victim, detrayed her husband and lover, would spend 14 years behind bars. Some think that the sentence was too light. I dont disagree with that. The sentence was too light. After discussions with Law Enforcement, with family members, we determined that it was worth it to have her, to be able to say in her own words, what happened and why. Reporter a different prosecutor then took over the case against Jarred Long. His name was mark blankenship. As he looked over the case, he came to a different conclusion about who was most responsible. I felt that the mastermind of the crime was jessie. She didnt pull the trigger. But without her this doesnt happen. What bathered me is that the bar was set for 22 years for the mastermind of the crime. Reporter blankenship offered jarred a deal, too. 30 years in prison for pleadle guilty to firstdegree murder. Jarred agreed. Jarred, being played as the victim. But vince was shot nine times in the head and the face. You cannot discount that for anything. It bothers me. He should have gotten more than 30 years. Reporter tim, vincents cousin, was torn about the punishment. Jessie, she should have gotten more time than she did. She manipulated him. Reporter is that the jessie you knew . She was manipulating us. I would never have pegged her. I believe she should do life. Reporter as for janet, the woman who stepped in as vinces mother, its hard for her to describe the pain she feels. She watched her surrogate son go from a tough kid to a tough soldier. He became a good and honorable man, only to have it all needlessly taken away. He wasnt my biological child. But my heart, you cant tell that to my heart. I love that boy. And its not fair that he was taken from his children or from his family. He had so much potential. He had gone so far. She was a very loving person. She had a heart of gold. What happened to this woman . My job is to be a true teller and seek out the truth. I wanted to solve it. Her case was a mystery, for years. The mom with the Tender Heart and toughasnails career. She was part of the Sheriffs Department. Her ultimate goal was to try to get into the fbi. She had found a new sense of purpose, in the church. Her pastor and his wife like family. They had taken
