As promised, we’d be there when there was any update of significance in the 2023 case of the mysterious death of Crystal McCrory Jones in Oak Grove, Louisiana.
We're very fortunate again to speak with Jana Guyewski Latigar (Crystal's sister).
The fact pattern shows:
💥 Within 1 hour and 45 minutes, the cause of death was ruled a suicide.
💥 Two days prior to her death — the Ring Doorbell Camera was cut off.
💥 Crystal’s husband Tony Jones at one time was employed by the “investigating” agency (W. Carroll Parish Sheriff’s Office).
💥 Law enforcement supervision allowed a friend of the deceased woman’s husband to “investigate” the case.
💥 Argument has been proffered that Tony changed his story multiple times as to his whereabouts on the day Crystal died.
💥 Shortly after his wife’s death, Tony vigorously tried to collect on a $63K group life insurance policy.
In early May, our guest, Jana, traveled to our nation’s capital to advocate on behalf of her deceased sister and others who have suffered a similar tragedy.
The purpose of the trip was to discuss and examine the inconsistencies in the Homicide Victims Family Rights Act of 2021 (sponsor Rep. Eric Swalwell D-CA) and to bring awareness to how the Act does nothing for families who wish to seek a new set of eyes on their loved ones’ investigations that are ruled an accident, undetermined or suicide.
This bill establishes a framework for immediate family members of a murder victim under federal law to request a review of the victim's case file if the crime was committed more than 3 years prior, the murder was investigated by a federal law enforcement entity, all probative investigative leads have been exhausted, and no likely perpetrator has been identified.
Law enforcement can argue whatever it wishes — working to save face doesn’t take any criminals off the streets.
Members of the Oak Grove community have expressed (some more quietly than others) that this case is tremendously sad and tragic on multiple levels.
It's a case plagued with far more questions than answers — because the authorities who should be actively seeking the answers are not.
They’ve shared that due to what they’ve described as the "impotent, bungled investigatory management process and the apparent piss-poor procedures, policies and practices in place within the West Carroll Parish Sheriff’s Department (from the outset), there still has been no resolution, nor any modicum of justice for the victim, family or anyone — nor do they feel there will ever be any resolution or justice meted out". This case breaks their hearts.
A death investigation is supposed to answer lingering questions, not generate more uncertainty.
No matter who you are or what you do in life, if your spouse is dead in your home under any circumstances you can expect to be considered a suspect. That never happened for Crystal’s husband in this case. Why?
Who cancelled the Ring Doorbell Camera contract and why?
Was this coincidence or evidence of pre-planning, conspiracy or an attempt to cover the tracks of a murder?
Who approved a former colleague of the husband to catch this case?
Why the rush to judgement? What was the hurry?
Optics matter! The truth matters!
Seriously? — there aren’t a ton of suspects in sleepy little Oak Grove, Louisiana.
Is a murderer walking the streets freely?
Join us as Jana delivers her deeply heart-felt, powerful remarks that she graciously delivered in Washington, DC.
