  Speaker 5: of Kayla's head. And Kayla was on the floor. She

  Speaker 5: was incredibly bloody. There was so much blood that when
• 4:46

  Speaker 7: But who would want to kill Kayla Hodgson?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Kayla was a bright bubbly woman in her twenties who
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: appeared to be living her best life. She was loved
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: very dearly by her family and her friends. Kayla worked
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: as a bottle service girl. She worked for a company
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: called bar Dolls. She also worked privately for herself.

  Speaker 5: her mother had a very close relationship.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: Kayla, from what I could tell, comes from loving family.
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Her mother, Diane, described her as a beautiful person who
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: just was real loving of life and just being a

  Speaker 10: She's coming back right now.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Kayla's cousin learned that Kayla was deceased, and she was
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: extremely distraught.
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: Understandable. Can you imagine when.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: You just learn that your relative is dead in their
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: apartment at such.
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: A young age.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Then what's your name? Is?
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Anybody here with you?
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: Melanie?
• 7:55
  Speaker 11: Let's go back.
• 7:59
  Speaker 14: Getting come on, come on.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: Kayla's mother, Diana, arrives home just five hours after her
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: daughter's body was discovered.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Kayla lived with her mom in this apartment, but she
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: was a flight attendant and she was actually working flying
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: when this happened and she had to be notified. She
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: had to get a phone call telling her that her
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: daughter was dead.
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Mom, do you want to sit down?
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: You guys can hang out here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: If you want.

  Speaker 10: It's just more privacy, I understand, man?
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: Have you breaking the body down? Pretty?

  Speaker 7: And Kayla's brother has now also arrived at Kayla and
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: his mom's apartment.
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: I know, I'm sorry she's no longer here.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: She wouldn't have answered, can I help you up?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: When law enforcement is investigating and preserving a crime scene,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: they have to be able to work and kind of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: had to help the family member up and escort them
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: away so they could keep working on Kayla's death.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: In just an absolutely devastating scene captured on police's body cam,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Kayla's family asks to pray over Kayla's body before she's
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: transported to the morgue.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: We know, we know, you don't want that as your
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: last memory. It's a promise, promise if you don't want
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: that as your last memory.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you?
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: All right, I'm very sorry.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Where's the guy that the.
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: Investigator?
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: Of course, investigators need to interview the person that found
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Kayla's body. Then thirty one year old Rovelta Robinson, sir,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: I'm very.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: Sorry for the loss. Cool boyfriend, Yeah, something like that,
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: all right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: When we staid over here.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Get us two, how transpire?
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: One of the first things we do on scene is
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: speak with the witness. My partner was there a few
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: moments before me, so he'd already begun doing that and
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: kind of gave me a brief on what the nine
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: one one collar had stated.
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: I then met with him as well.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time you attempted to reach
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: out to Kayla?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: It was already around.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Ten eleven, ten eleven. How did you reach out to her?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I called her, call to her, I called him multiple times.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: He referred to Kayla as his kind of sort of girlfriend,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and again he alluded to the fact that while they
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: were friends, they were more than friends. They may not
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: have been exclusive, but was kind of his girlfriend.
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: You think it was ten or eleven.
• 11:12
  Speaker 15: I think you were gonna check, but you had said
• 11:14
  Speaker 15: you deleted the text message.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I deleted them because she had me upset because
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I thought like she was ignoring me because I just
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: got packed for him to seeing my girl. So usually
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we go through this walls of Togo see my girl.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: She feels some type of way or whatever, so she
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: knew you went to this your girl.
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Me and he are very transparent with our situation or whatever.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: All right, how quickly do you delete the messages in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the phone?
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Cost?
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: After I came here?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: After I came in, I didn't see her car and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do and she didn't have so I'm
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like Gotti, like now I'm hot.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: He also was able to tell them that he had
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: been upset with Kayla and deleted all her contacts. Now
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: they're trying to figure out a motive and a person
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that killed Kayla.
• 11:55
  Speaker 10: And when you hear.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: That he was mad enough to delete all the contacts.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They have to investigate further. Did that mean he was
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: mad enough to do anything else to Kayla.
• 12:09
  Speaker 14: When you were calling her earlier?
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: Was it going straight to voice par just no eye?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So that's also what got me upset to made me
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: deleat her number, because at first he was ringing and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it just went It was nothing.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even answering machine. It just said call fail,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: call Phil. But then when I called on my other phone,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it was ringing out. So then that's what kind of
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: like got me upset.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: Rovelta Robinson goes into greater detail about how he found Kayla.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: And.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: He was the last person to physically see Kayla before
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: she left the apartment, so Rivelta was able to provide
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: a timeline of when he had gone to visit Kayla
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: the previous night at her apartment. They also used the
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: timeline of when he was calling Kayla to show that
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: this is definitely a time period when she was already deceased.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: While the blood in Rivelto's hands is certainly suspicious, investigators
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: determined that he got the blood on him while he
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: was trying to give Kayla CPR.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: When detectives fote too rivelto There was no one that
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: came to mind who would want to do this to
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Kayla that he was aware of, and even though he
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: had a girlfriend also in New York, he confirmed for
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: law enforcement that his girlfriend was in New York on
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: that particular day and that his girlfriend had never had
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: any issues with Kayla and didn't even know that Kayla existed.
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: At the morgue.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Kayla's body provides investigators with a clue of who could
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: have done this to her.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: The numerous defensive wounds that Kayla suffered showed us that
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Kayla fought for her life to the very end.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: Had false nails.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: On and so there were a couple of her nails
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: that had been ripped off while she was fighting for
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: her life, and those nails were also located inside of
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the apartment.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: The number of stab wounds, the location of the stab wounds,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the fact that she had defensive wounds she was fighting
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: back that meant that the attacker the murder was someone
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: who was acting with a vengeance. Really, this type of
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: crime implies that it was done out of anger, heat
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: of passion, or in the moment.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: The crime scene itself is extremely bloody. It is clear
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: that there was some sort of struggle that happened inside
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: Kayla's apartment.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: There was blood that had been spattered on the walls
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: in the injury way.
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: She was surrounding their full blood. There wasn't any noticeable
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: weapons left on scene. We didn't see any knives, but
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: one thing we did note at the time was there
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: was a large glass hookah that was broken and lying
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: partially underneath Kayla and around her, so large shards of glass.
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: Later on we collected that and determined that a large
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: portion of the glass part of the hook a bottle
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: the stem area was missing from the scene.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: And Kayla's dog provides investigators with another lead.
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: Kayla had a small dog. His name was Dore.
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: The nine to one callers said one of the first
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: things he found odd was that when he knocked on
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: the door, it sounded like the dog was almost locked
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: in the spare bedroom.
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: Of the apartment.
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: Ultimately find the dog in the spare bedroom, the door
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: was shut. One of the things he noticed was the
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: dog had some blood on its palls, which gave us
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: the impression that it was obviously out when this attack
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: occurred and someone had put him behind that door and
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: closed it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: At first glance, there is nothing that stands out inside
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Kayla's apartment that would lead to any suspects, So investigators
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: they have to go to the surveillance footage, any surveillance
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: footage that exists outside of Kayla's apartment.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: The crime scene was being processed, detectives went to the
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: apartment complex and obtained surveillance footage for the building that
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Kayla lived in and also the building that was right
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: next to Kayla's building.
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: Kayla's apartment was located on the second floor.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: On each side of her apartment were two different apartments
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: on the opposite side of the hallway, and both were
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: equipped with doorbell surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, the one to the west,
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: that camera was not functioning properly. That one would be
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: the best because it did show a portion of Kayla's door.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: It may have captured the exchange that occurred at that door.
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: But there was a surveillance doorbell camera on the east
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: side of Kayla's apartment and we're able to collect that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: With the apartment surveillance footage and the ring doorbell footage
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: in hand, investigators start putting together a timeline.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: The footage from the apartment complex and from the doorbell
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: ring cameras. It matched with Ravelto's timeline of events of
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: him going to Kayla's apartment and when Kayla was leaving
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: for work.
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: So RIBALTA.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: Robinson is officially clear Tos a person of interest here.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: We're able to see when Kayla had left one she'd
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: returned home that evening, so that timeline was important. We
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: were able to really start branching out from there see
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: who's moving around the complex.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: At that point, law enforcement saw a person of interest
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: that arrived at the apartment building at approximately two am.
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: And this woman was.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Dressed in dark clothing with a baseball hat, a COVID mask,
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: and was also carrying a food bag that belonged to Shakeshack.
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: There was a black female who was wearing all black.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: She had on a New York Yankees hat, black pants,
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: and a black jacket, and she just seemed to be
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: kind of milling about the location. She's going up and
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: down stairwells, back and forth through hallways.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: From approximately two am to four forty five am, this
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: same person would go from Kayla's building to the building
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: next to Kayla's building. They observe this person looking at
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: the mailboxes and just moving in a suspicious way.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: That in and of itself, somebody at four am staking
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: out an apartment is suspicious, but add to that the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: apparent disguise so that the person would not be identified.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: Ultimately, we were able to track her through multiple locations.
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: Her movements, her demeanor just really raise the red flag
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: with her. After Kayla arrives home, we see the suspect
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: one more time, walking pretty fast towards Kayla's apartment from
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: another building. But she did all of a sudden have
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: a sense of urgency in her walk, and that was
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: within a minute or two of Kayla arriving home.
• 18:51

• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Detectives were able to see the suspect walk past the
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: doors that kind of led up to Kala's apartment.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: We don't see the suspect again on the video for
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: upwards almost an hour. You could tell right away it
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: was the same suspect, just based on her build, a
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: very distinct build about her, and she's now wearing a
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: different outfit.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: The suspect was seen very clear on camera leaving Kayla's
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: apartment building dressed in a hoodie that Kayla's mom identified
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: as being from their residence. There was also a pair
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: of sandals that both Kayla and her mom shared, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: the suspect was seen leaving in those sandals. The suspect
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: was also carrying a shopping bag that was identified as
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: being removed from that apartment as well.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: There are so many different reasons why that would be
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: suspicious in my mind.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: Number one, why.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Would she be wearing Kyla's clothes? Number two, why did
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: she change clothes at all? And number three is she
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: just trying to disguise her appearance and perhaps make people
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: think it was Kayla leaving the apartment.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: When detectives saw that the suspects left in different clothing,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: it's definitely suspicious.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: But when that clothing upon.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Leaving is the clothing of the victim, then it tells
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: us that this suspect was definitely inside of Kayla's apartment
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: because that would be the only way you can obtain
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: these items.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: Kayla Hodgshen's fingernail provides investigators with another clothe.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: The DNA that was located under Kayla's fingernails was processed
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: and that DNA came back to a single female source.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: So who exactly is this mystery woman that was called
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: on the surveillance footage? While investigators speak with the people
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: who knew Caleb.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: Best, detectives then tried to figure out who had problems
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: with Kayler.
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: Was there anyone in Kayla's.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Wife that would warrant Kayla dead? When they spoke to
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: the owner of Bardall's, Kayla's employer, she couldn't think of
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: anyone that had any problems with Kayla. When they spoke
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: to Kayla's mom, the only thing that Kayla's mom knew
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: was that there had been a girl that had been
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: making prank phone calls on her phone, but she didn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: really have any further details other than that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: I had made contact with a few friends of Kayla's
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: and asked them to meet with me so I could
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: see if there was anyone that fits this description that
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: Kayla may have had a problem with. This would be
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: a tape sworn statement of Genisa Tate. We're here today
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: discussing the death of Kayla Hodgson, and from my understanding,
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: you are the best friend of Kayla.
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: Is that correct?
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: All right?
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: And you mentioned trying to going on tape that you
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: guys had both been in New York recently from July
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: sixth to July ninth.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: Is that correct?
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: And the last time you actually saw.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Kayla was when at night Genisa Tad was Kayla's best friend.
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: They were thicke as thieves.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: They worked together at bar Dolls wherever Kayla was, Genisa
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: was also They traveled to New York together.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: They would work parties in New York together.
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: From my understanding, Kayla was dating a guy who had
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: a girlfriend down here in Florida by the name of
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: Valto Robinson. Do you know him by Rovalto or his
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: name felt Velt? Okay, I've heard several names v vel Veldt.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: Besides v who else was Kayla? Seeing as far as
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: guys or.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Girls, there was a guy named Secure. There was a
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: guy named Terence.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: Is he from New York?
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Or Terrence lives in New York?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: And is Terrence the only one from New York?
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: Yes, we were able to establish this relationship between Kayla
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: and this person in New York by the name of
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: Terry Thurmerjine.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Kayla's relationship with Terry Thermajine appear to be a relationship
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: where whenever Kayla was in New York, Terry, who had
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: a liking for Kayla, would take Kayla out to dinner.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: If Terry Thermagine was ever in the South Florida area,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Kayla and Terry would meet up for dinner. When they
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: weren't in the same city, Terry would send food to Kayla.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: So that was the extent of what we knew about
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: their relationship.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: So now here's another good lead in that surveillance footage.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: This mystery woman outside Kayla's apartment was carrying a bag
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: of food.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Terrence in New York, he would send food via uber eat.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: So it's a natural assumption to think if anyone was
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: delivering food in Florida at four am, that this could
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: have been an uber eats.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: We know Terrence has a girlfriend.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Correct, well, he doesn't claim the girlfriend, but yes, yes, girlfriend.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: As far as you know, who does she have problems with?
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: Is anyone her bothering her? Anyone she's an active problem with, the.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Only person she's ever had an active problem with. Because
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Kayla doesn't have a problem with nobody male or female, like,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: she doesn't entertain it. She would normally just ignore it
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: would be Terrence's girlfriend. Literally the first day they met,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: she messaged.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: Her on Instagram and what was that problem they had?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Basically, she reached out to Kayla, you know, to see
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: if Kayla was with the gentleman Terence. Have a screenshot
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: of their dms when she DMed her.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: They just meant that day. Why is this girl dming her?
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's exactly what cayleb thought.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And when Kayla messaged the gentleman and asked him, you
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: know you have a girlfriend you didn't let me know about,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: he denied it. He said he don't have no girlfriend.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know none of that. He has an ex.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: That's what he claimed it ask his ex. So Caleb
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: continued to speak to him.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: This is clearly a very messy situation ship and investigators
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: need to figure out who is dating who and who
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: specifically was dming Kayla about Terrence.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: What made that girl know about Kayla?
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: The twenty ninth, me and Kayla worked a party. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: the party worked in New York. They came, you said,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Terrence and his friends. So we go back there now
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: and Kayla and him are kicking it off. He takes
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: off his ring and puts it on Kayla's hand. So
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: now all of the friends that are around are recording
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: videos and stuff like that, and one of them is
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: recording Kayla.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: And you see the ring on the hand.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: It's like a real distinctive ring.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: It's a big ring.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, I think I have a video of this very
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: big distinct ring. Kayla's dancing and you see the ring,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: and Kayla's live with the ring. You know, she doesn't
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: think the thing of it. The next day they get
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: a DM from the girlfriend.
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: So the screenshots basically saying like asking Kayla if she's
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: with this guy now correct?
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: But Kayla didn't respond to that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: No, she responded to the first two in the beginning,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: you know, like because the girl reached out and she's
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: like in regard to what, And then she was like
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: the guy with the braids, was he trying to talk
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: to you? Or do y'all talk? The guy with the
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: braids is Terrence. And then of course didn't respond. Just
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: when she called the guy and was like, no girl
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: messageing me, that's your girlfriend. They went out to dinner,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: and when they went out to dinner the next day.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: The next day in the morning she missed her again.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Gets you not intwo and you could be a female
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: the stick part is if y'all really talking and hanging out,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I want you to know I'm not coming easy on
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: either of y'all.
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: On her top there there's there's a picture of her.
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's that's her underneath Shaki, it says Sakinas ak.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: I y n A. Okay, Now, how do we know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: That she's involved with Terrence? This Sakina, how do you
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: know that's Terrence? She's referring to all on.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Her page, you see Terrence.
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: We do know that he did have a girlfriend in
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: New York, Saquina Thompson. And at some point Sakina become
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: aware of Kayla, and there had been messages exchanged, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: from what I could tell on Kayla's and there was
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: really no real earth shattering news that Okay, don't talk
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: to Terry anymore.
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: She was still going about her life.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Sakina lived in New York and worked as a nail tech.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Sekeina believed that she and Terry were together, girlfriend, boyfriend,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: No questions asked, no doubt they were together.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Cayla's best friend, Janisa also reveals one more important aspect
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: of the communication between Kayla and Sekina from.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: The beginning of last month, she was getting her eyes
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: with prank calls.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: And with those prank calls what was being said because
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: it threatened calls or more like.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Your leave my man alone.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Kela will answer the phone, and she swore with a
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: person from New York because the person on the phone
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: said dead ass and that's like something New York people say.
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: No, it was always the same girl's voice.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: It was always the same voice.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she said, like they will be signing for a
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: good minute. Then I'll have to scream hello just for
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: him to say hello.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Like what.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Then at the end she was like, you know, you're right,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, I know, tell me something
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: else then then you'll go quiet.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: The day Kala was found dead in her apartment, both
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: her mother, Diana and her sort of boyfriend Rovelta Robinson
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: mentioned something in their statements to police that proved to
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: be a crucial clue.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: There anything you can think of that I didn't ask
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: you that you think might be important.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: She don't have problem by She's a very happy looking person.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: The only thing, like a couple of weeks ago she
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: was getting like plank calls, but she didn't get in
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: details about it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: We did receive information from friends and family that Kayla
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: had recently, you know, for the past couple of weeks,
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: if not a couple months prior to the homicide, she
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: had begun to get what she would refer to as
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: prank calls from a female.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Kayla's best friend, Ganisa Tate, who's being interviewed by police
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: in Broward County, reveals that she saw Sakina Thompson in
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: person in New York.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: He's calling her the whole time she's driving her and
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: telling her, don't go inside, Please, don't go inside. I'm
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: begging you, don't go side showtime, don't go inside, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at her and I'm telling her, like, the
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: girl has to be inside, you know, like there's no
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: other reason why you don't want you to go in.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So we ended up pulling up to showtime, and he
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: ends up calling her because he sees us park and
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: he's come to my car. So I ended up just
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: still going inside. I text her first and I was like,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: the girlfriend is here. I've seen her at the end
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: of the bar waiting.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: So you saw her in there and she's just sitting
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: there by herself, or she look on me one.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: By herself, hands crossed at the end of the bar,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: no drink in front of her, just sitting there. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: that's where the guy was, the guy that I was
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: going to go meet, and I gave him a hug,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: and then I looked down and I seen her. And
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: when she's seen me, she looked at me, then she
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: looked past me, and she didn't see Kayla.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: So then she.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Sat there for a little minute, you know, waiting to
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: see if she's gonna come. Then the place was closing and.
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: She got up and she left, so Carol never came in.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: They went to a different place together, him and her.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Since Jenison knows what Seqina looks like, investigators show her
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: the surveillance footage from the night that Kayla was murdered.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: When Janisa watched the video surveillance from the apartment complex,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: one of the things that she recognized was the profile
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: of the suspects. She recognized that the female in the
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: video had a large bust. She recognized the walk of
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: the suspects.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: What was it about that video that made you think Skina.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: She's very stocky, so she walks with her breasts high,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: and she has like a deep walk. It's a very
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: distinct walk, like you have a distinct walk because of
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the way how your breast is, and she has humongous breasts,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: and the side profile of her face just gives it away.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: And then her walk is just like the five four,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: like she stomps when she was Yeah, it just makes
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: sense that it's her, Like she was really mentally psychled.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: The girl would not leave Kayla alone, mind you. This
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: guy talks to many of the girls in New York.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I've gone to New York and I've gone out and
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: he's with a different female. But I think the fact
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: that Cala was gorgeous, you know, Terrence was just after
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: her and it was persistent and.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: He would work on it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: He would fly her out, he would send her food,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: like you know, it was persistent. I feel like she
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: felt like she was a threat.
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: Ultimately, one of her friends was able to provide me
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: with an Instagram page for this female, Saquina Thompson.
• 32:22
  Speaker 15: Hey guys, my name is Seqina. I'm from New York.
• 32:27
  Speaker 15: I'm a full time nail technician. I don't really know
• 32:30
  Speaker 15: what to say it, but just welcome to my channel.
• 32:31
  Speaker 15: I didn't really want the first video to be like.
• 32:34
  Speaker 16: Just smack right into something, but I'll be doing beauty here,
• 32:41
  Speaker 16: mostly your nails, a makeup swatches, stuff like that hauls
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: off of the days basically everything.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Detective Coach were then scrolled Saquina Thompson's Instagram account. He
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: noticed that there were certain clothing items that the suspect
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: was wearing in the apartment complex surveillance that was of
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: a clothing brand that he also found Saquina Thompson wearing
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: in pictures on her Instagram account.
• 33:10
  Speaker 16: Now so I go for I was trying to play
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: my cot I'm the best speaker ever in that faily
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: side lips hair.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: There was also a pair of Prada shoes that the
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: suspect was wearing, and these exact same prodat shoes were
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: found on Saquina Thompson's Instagram profile with her wearing those
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: same exact shoes. He also zoomed in on when the
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: suspect was holding up her cell phone.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: One of the things that really stood out was her
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: cell phone cover. At some point on the video, the
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: suspect pretended like they were looking at the mailboxes for
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: the apartment complex and at the same time flipped over
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: their phone. And when they flipped the phone over, I
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: could see the wallpaper on her phone screen and just
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: so happens on Sakena Thompson's Instagram, She's holding her phone
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: out in her hand and the same wallpaper observed on
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: that photo.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Why Sekeina had a pretty good social media presence, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: she would post things about her relationship, including with Terry,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: and that may not be unusual, but they were a
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: little bit toxic.
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: I ain't gonna lie.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: I'd like flirting just to see if I still got it,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: but linking up, nah, that's crazy.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Every time Kayla would question Terry about Sakina Thompson, Terry
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: would tell her she's crazy.
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: She's my ex girlfriend. You don't have to worry about her.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: And so that was the only reason why Kayla didn't
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: put too much stock into Sakena Thompson is because Terry
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: was continually telling her that this is just a crazy
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: ex that you don't have to worry about.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Why are you.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: Acting so nervous and why are you sweating so much?
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: And why do you look so huh? No, no way,
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: it's not what you think. This is a bit misunderstanding.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: You've got to believe me, I Bliza, I am telling
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: you you better listen to me.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: You like crabby daddies doneis graduate.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: She would talk about hitting Terrian him, cheating, and different
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: things that would perhaps trigger her.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: You know that I throw hands right. You know that
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: I throw hands right.
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: You know that I throw hands right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: You know that I throw hands right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Investigators track the phone number from the WhatsApp messages that
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: NISA provided.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: That cell phone number also came back to Saqina Thompson.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: It allowed me to obtain a search warrant for her
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: historical cell phone data, which was able to help place
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: her in South Florida time of Kayla Hodgson's murder.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Detective Ian Koochler was able to identify that a Saquina
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Thompson had traveled from New York City to Fort Lauderdale
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: prior to the homicide.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Just we talked about I mean thinking I ain't gonna
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: go look on a page. I be looking at page in.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: The early morning hours around one am on July thirteenth,
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: that cell phone traveled to the area of Kayla Hodgson's residence,
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: remained there for several hours, and then left around six am,
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: returning back to a hotel that we ultimately found that
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: Saquina Thompson had booked a hotel room at and that
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: was significant because we were able to match it with
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: some later video that we obtained from outside Kayla's apartment
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: complex showing the suspect being picked up by a ride
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: share and taken back to her hotel that she had booked.
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: Video surveillance time was accurate with the cell phone data
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: showing the cell phone traveling as well, so we knew
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: that the person we're seeing on that video surveillance traveling
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: from Kayla Hodgens residence to the hotel was Saquina Thompson.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: And then we again come back to that bag of
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: food that this mystery woman on the surveillance footage was carrying.
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: Saqina Thompson when she checked in at the hotel she
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: was staying at, she had ordered fast food from a
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: local establishment, and that same bag was brought by her
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: to the crime scene. Having that information and showing her
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: carrying that particular bag gave us the impression that maybe
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: she utilized it as a ruse to pretend as a
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: delivery someone bringing food late at night, because we do
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: know that Skeena Thompson's boyfriend Terry Thurmagine, had in the
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: past sent mobile food orders to Kayla after work late
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: at night. If Kayla looks out the people sees his
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: female standing their holding a fast food bag, gives me
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: the impression she might utilized that to try to get
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: her trust to open the door.
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: Saqina had this whole ruse planned out. She even set
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: up a fake ride share account to conceal her identity.
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: The ride shares that Sakina Thompson utilized were both established
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: under different names on the same day, within minutes, but
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: they were both under false names. Saqina Thompson utilized these
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: sort of made up rideshare accounts to get to and
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: from the homicide.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: So investigators believe the combination of the digital data, the
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: social media posts, the surveillance footage all point towards premeditation.
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: We know there's a relationship between Sakina and Terry, Terry
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: and Kayla. We know there's been some bad blood in
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: the past where there's been messages exchanged, and Kayla had
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: just been in New York and we do know that
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: she had contact with Terry while she.
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: Was up there.
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: The best we could tell is that Sakina had caught
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: win that Terry had seen Kayla that was on July ninth,
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna.
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: Go back, have you a gun, and I'm gonna come
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: back here and.
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: Set this off.
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: So on July tenth, Sakina Thompson books her flight. By
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: July twelfth, she's here in South Florida. One of the
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: things that came up is intent here somebody flies from
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: New York, books a hotel in such short period between
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: July ninth and July twelfth.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: This was all planned out.
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: You had plenty of time to rethink your actions. So
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: someone comes down. Even if in a heat of moment
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: you're on a plane for three hours, You've now booked
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: a hotel, you're now in South Florida.
• 39:10
  Speaker 11: You have time to change course.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: And investigators also discovered that almost a year prior to
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: the murder, Sequina appeared to be digitally stalking Kayla.
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: We later found out that the original Instagram interactions had
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: occurred a lot further back than we were initially told.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: Genisa provided screenshots that showed that approximately a year prior
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: to Kaylea being murdered, Saquina Thompson reached out to Kayla
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: on her Instagram account and had asked to speak to
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Kayla and she wanted Kayla to call her, and at
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: that point cayleb blocked. Saqina Thompson never responded to her messages.
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: A couple of.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Months later, whenever Kayla would message Terry, somehow Saquina Thompson
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: would see these messages and now she had Kayla's phone number,
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: and she messaged Kayla again, threatening messages, calling her names,
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: telling her you know about messing with Terry, and again
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Cayla blocks her. Months later, Kayla sends a message to Terry,
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: and this time Saquina Thompson, it appears, then took Terry's
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: phone and responded to Kyla from Terry's phone, and this
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: was the only time that we had evidence of that
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: Kayla ever sent a message back to Seqina Thompson. Saqina
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: Thompson sent to Kayla a picture of Seqina and Terry
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: in bed kissing, and when she sent this picture, the
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: words that came with the picture was basically telling Kayla
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: that we're good here, and Kayla responded to Saqina Thompson
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: by texting Terry's phone back, you just love to kiss
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: the lips that be on my pword.
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: After that, Kayla stop communicating.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: Investigators now have a theory as to what really happened
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: the morning that Kayla was murdered.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: We know that shortly after Kayla had left for work,
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: Saqina Thompson arrived at the apartment complex around one am.
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: She spends the next three hours walking around that apartment complex.
• 41:19
  Speaker 11: The last video we have of.
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: Kayla Hodgson is showing her walking home after probably was
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: a long night being on her feet talking to people.
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: You can just see in her movements she's just tired
• 41:30
  Speaker 9: and probably glad to be home. She's home, safe in
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: her mind. Shortly thereafter, we see Seqina rushing towards the
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: apartment where Kayla had just gone into. How Sakina accessed
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: that apartment, we're not certain, but what we do know
• 41:43
  Speaker 9: for certain is at some point the front door of
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: the apartments opened, most likely by Kayla seeing who's out
• 41:49
  Speaker 9: the door, and right inside that front doorway, that's where
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: we can see from the evidence that a struggle ensues
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: and there is damage to the walls. There's exchange of
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: blood onto the walls. It actually seeds down a hallway
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: a little bit to the left. Kayla was fighting for
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: her life in that apartment. What is more terrifying than
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: being a female alone at home and someone's now inside
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: your house and you're fighting for your life. The amount
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: of blood, even after she had been stabbed, you can
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: see that she was still trying to fight and move about.
• 42:18
  Speaker 9: If the attack proceeded into the apartment a little bit,
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: it actually ended up coming back ultimately to the front door.
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: Maybe she's trying to get the suspect.
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: Out, push her out, struggling with her, but at some
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: point the injuries she sustained were just too much. Kayla
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: ultimately came to rest behind the front door.
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: Now, if you're watching what we do here at Long
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: Crime and you're into content creation or you're putting things
• 42:43

• 43:30
  Speaker 9: At this point in the investigation where now within two
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: weeks of the homicide occurring and a rest warm was issued,
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: I traveled to New York Queen's area to locate Sakina
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: with the assistance of the NYPD and the US Marshals,
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: and ultimately she was taken into custody by August third
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: of twenty twenty two. Her purse contained her ticket with
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: the airline leaving South Florida. Sakina was ultimately charged with
• 43:54
  Speaker 9: murder in the first degree. Sakina never spoke with us.
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: She had invoked her rights and an attorney representing her,
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: so we never had the opportunity to really get her
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: side of the story. Once Sakina was taken in the
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: custody in New York, she remained there from August third
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: till October eighteenth. She was extradited down here to Brower
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: County and was able to obtain her DNA with the
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: assistants of Crime Scene. That DNA was submitted and confirmed
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: that the DNA on Kayla Hodgson's fingernail was in fact
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: Saqina Thompson's.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: As a prosecution, we're not allowed to talk to defendants.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: The only way that we can kind of get a
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: picture into their minds is to use whatever evidence we
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: have available. And the evidence that I had available was
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: her Instagram records, and so I studied those records. I
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: saw how she communicated with other women that she suspected
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: of dealing with Terry.
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: I saw the lifestyle that she.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: Portrayed to live, and I used that to prepare myself
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: for trial.
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: On September thirtieth, twenty twenty five, the trial of Saquina
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: Thompson kicks off and begins with opening statements, and it
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: starts with the prosecutor, Tanya Johnson.
• 45:15
  Speaker 17: Everything when according a plan, except being discovered dray Kayla
• 45:21
  Speaker 17: out of the way in her own ledge, away from
• 45:23
  Speaker 17: the door and left disguised in Kayla's attire.
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: But the defense, they have their own version of events
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: leading up to the killing of Kayla Hodgson.
• 45:34
  Speaker 12: This woman to women conversation that Sakina had in mind
• 45:37
  Speaker 12: had escalated.
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: On the ninth day of the trial, the defense called
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: Sakina Thompson to the stand to testify in her own defense.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: She just starts grabbing my hair and punching.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Me, Sakina testified, claiming it was self defense. One thing
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: a jury always notices is the demeanor of a defendant
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: when they testify, even when they're sitting at council's table,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and she had somewhat of a flat effect. She wasn't
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: overly emotional about any of this.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: I told her I was pregnant, so I felt like
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: she was trying to hurt me and my baby.
• 46:10
  Speaker 10: I didn't just fight for me. I fought for me
• 46:12
  Speaker 10: and my baby.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Sekena Thompson testified that when she went to confront Kayla
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: woman to woman.
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: She was two months pregnant.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: This is a hard fact to absorb because if you
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: are two months pregnant, why are you even going to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: go confront someone you've never met. Maybe they're violent, maybe
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: they're going to hurt you. You would want to not
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: even go in the first place. But also it could
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: have the opposite effect, It could make a jury more
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: sympathetic to her knowing that well, she was two months pregnant,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: she had a baby.
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: Once she told Kayla that she was pregnant.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: She's testified that Kayla got upset and Kayla attacks her,
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: and Kayla tried to slash her stomach, and it was
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: at that point that she blacked out, and whatever resulted
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: after the blackout is what happened, even though she didn't
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: want to test by as to details.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: But on cross the prosecution challenges Saquina's claim of self defense.
• 47:08
  Speaker 16: Punching me, punching you wear my face, wear on your
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: face were I don't remember, but everyone.
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: Remember where she was punching into your faith in my face.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: I was able to bring out who Saqina Thompson is
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: the same affect that she displayed when she was taking
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: the flight back to New York. Is the same affect
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: that she displayed on the stand. To take a person's
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: life in self defense and be justified in doing that.
• 47:38
  Speaker 10: There's a human aspect to that, like you come.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: Off as being very distraught of having to take another
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: human being's life, and she did not have that affects
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: on the stand.
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: I mean, this is why you killed it?
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: You didn't kill her because she was fighting you.
• 47:55
  Speaker 16: No, I killed her because she took the glass from
• 47:59
  Speaker 16: the hookah and slash.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: Me and her as my stomach.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: She tried to portray it as a person that was
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: just really concerned for her unborn child. But after this
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: alleged attack of Kayla slashing her on her stomach, she
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: never went to seek any medical help.
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: She never went to the hospital.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: She didn't testify about anything that she did afterwards that
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: would be consistent with someone being slashed in the stomach.
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: After closing arguments, the jury goes to deliberate.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: When the juris went back to deliberate, I'm always nervous
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: for the family because my main priority is for them
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: to have justice, and justice would only come from a
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: guilty verdict.
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: The jury comes back with their verdict after one hour
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: of deliberations and they find Sakina Thompson guilty of the
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: first degree murder of Kayla Hodgson.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Once the verdict came in, I was extreme relieved and
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: very happy for Kayla's mom.
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: Now, before the judge officially hands down Sakina Thompson's sentence,
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: the friends and family of Kayla deliver their victim impact statements.
• 49:15
  Speaker 18: Good afternoon, judge to the reason that we are all
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: here today. First, I want you to take a look
• 49:21
  Speaker 18: and see how many people garely love my sister. There
• 49:25
  Speaker 18: are many more, and I can't say the same for
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: you and step and love support will never go away.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: For the rest of your existence.
• 49:33
  Speaker 18: You will have to look in the mirror every day,
• 49:36
  Speaker 18: regret your decisions.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: And think about how foolish you are. All your nights
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: are filled with.
• 49:44
  Speaker 18: Regret and loneliness that you will never be able to
• 49:48
  Speaker 18: see or hold your family again.
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: I'm Melanie, Kayla's biological cousin and big sister at heart.
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: On July thirteenth, around b thirty, I received the phone
• 49:59
  Speaker 12: call that Hayla was found dead in her home. The
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: very first question I asked God in the midst of
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: all my tears laying on the floor, was who would
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: do this to Kayla? You see, Kayla was the type
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: of person that you didn't get to me twice in life.
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: She had a spirit that.
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: Shines so bright every single room she walked into a
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: light up like Times Square on New Year's Eve? Who
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: gave you the right to come into her home and
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: do this to her. Tell me what you thought every
• 50:29
  Speaker 12: time you searched one princess kay on Instagram. You've seen
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: a beautiful girl with a banging body, fiber personality, the
• 50:39
  Speaker 12: complete total opposite from what you see when you stand
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: in front of the mirror that killed you so much
• 50:46
  Speaker 12: you wanted to damage her face. But know this, if
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: Kayla was alive, even with those scars on her face,
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: she would have still been the most beautiful girl in
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: the room. She would be more gorgeous that you could
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: ever be. Your mind is so warped because the only
• 51:05
  Speaker 12: person who benefited in this whole situation was tiriing.
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: He finally got to get rid of you.
• 51:12
  Speaker 12: He can now enjoy his life without having to ever
• 51:15
  Speaker 12: worry about you stalking another female anchest he may have,
• 51:20
  Speaker 12: or toxically attacking him again. I now beg the judge
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: to grab my family the peace we deserve and throw
• 51:28
  Speaker 12: you in jail for the rest of your worthless life
• 51:30
  Speaker 12: without the possibility of any parole.
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: So, after listening to Kayla's loved ones emotional statements, the
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: judge has a few words of his own.
• 51:41
  Speaker 14: I do believe the defendants in this particular situation's crime
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: was heinous in the way she tracked down, located, showed up,
• 51:52
  Speaker 14: and then killed. And with that the Corte sentence and
• 51:56
  Speaker 14: mistonus in to life in prison is criminal punishment cod
• 52:01
  Speaker 14: that's without parole and she will serve the remainder of
• 52:05
  Speaker 14: her life in prison.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: Her family and friends came color coordinated in Kayla's favorite
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: color to trial, and once suddencing came, they all had
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: coordinated shirts. It was always obvious to me from day
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: one that Kayla was very loved and Kayla is very missed,
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: and that she had a lot of friends and family support.
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
• 52:34
  Speaker 14: Our business is concluded for the day.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Sekenna Thompson had her baby while she was in jail.
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: When she gave birth to the child, Terry Thurmergine finally
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: came to light or came out of shadows in a sense,
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: and arrived here in South Florida.
• 52:52
  Speaker 11: Gave us the opportunity to meet with him. It was
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: a gentleman. We discussed the case briefly.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: He wanted to speak to his attorney before going further
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: and add another opportunity to speak to Tim After that,
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: he took custody of the child.
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: It's just so sad to think the life of this
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: young woman as she was just entering into adulthood being
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: snuffed out because another woman felt threatened by her.
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: I was pleased with the guilty verdict, but there's no
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: pleasure in a case like this. You know, you have
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: Sakeina Thompson who's going to spend the rest of her
• 53:22
  Speaker 9: life in jail. You have a child without their mother now,
• 53:26
  Speaker 9: and you have Kayla Hodgson most importantly her family. They
• 53:29
  Speaker 9: don't have her to even visit. There's no pleasure in
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: a conviction on a case, especially like this. It's over
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: a guy.
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: Young girls fighting over a guy, if you want to
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: kind of simplify it.
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: But the reality is there's much more to it and
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: that lies with Saqena Thompson. That's where her mental state
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: or morals or thought process come into play.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: It is very sad to see such a life tragically
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: lost at such a young age for nothing.
• 53:59
  Speaker 10: This was over nothing.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: There was no threat that Kayla could ever have to
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: Sekena Thompson, who has a relationship.
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: With Terry all the way in New York and so
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: to go to such lengths.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: To fly down here and kill someone. I mean, it's
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: very scary that there are people in this world that
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: are capable of doing that, and Kayla did not deserve
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: what happened to her, especially in the sanctity of her
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: own home,
