  Speaker 7: for Megan's life.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: It just sounds like something bad is happening to her.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: We know what happened because the video tells us what happened.
• 1:04
  Speaker 8: I heard some gunshots.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: The camera doesn't lie.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: In Tennessee, Hamilton County, the city of Chattanooga.
• 1:29
  Speaker 9: Hamilton County 911, what's the emergency?
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: Her daughter had been gone since Wednesday, and she had
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: actually sent a message and it had a pin drop
• 1:38
  Speaker 8: on it. We followed the pin drop, and my daughter's
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: driver's license, her credit card, everything is right here in
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: the open. I'm freaking out. What's your name? Her name
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: is Jasmine Pace.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: 22-year-old Jasmine Pace known affectionately as Jazzy, was a student
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: at the University of Tennessee. Kintrell Harris went to high
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: school with Jasmine and worked with her at a local restaurant.
• 2:20
  Speaker 10: What made Jasmine special was her ability to be compassionate
• 2:25
  Speaker 10: for others, to have empathy for other people, to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 10: that listening ear whenever you're going through something. Jasmine was peaceful, loving, caring, Friendly, supportive.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Jasmine was super sweet, outgoing. She cared about people, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: she had a lot of friends. She was very well
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: involved in the community.
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: All right, bye.
• 2:49
  Speaker 10: Love you, Chick.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Jasmine lived with her mom in Chattanooga and worked for
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: her family's construction business. She was extremely close to her great-grandmother.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: On November 22nd, her grandmother had passed away. She was
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: with her family when her grandmother passed away. And at
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: some point that evening, she left.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But two days later, Jasmine failed to turn up to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Thanksgiving is a massive deal. You're always around your family.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: So if you're just randomly not at Thanksgiving dinner, it's
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: going to be pretty alarming. Her mom gets a message
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: from her that she's with her friend, that she's not coming,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: which really prompts immediate concern from her mother.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Then a post appeared on Jasmine's social media, which seemed
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: out of character.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Something fell off because the photo was quite suggestive. Jasmine
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: normally wouldn't do that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: A distinctive tattoo on Jasmine's right shoulder was also missing.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Because of the missing tattoo, it would indicate that it
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: was quite old and it wouldn't have been from that day.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The family were increasingly concerned, so Jasmine's mother used an
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: app linked to her daughter's vehicle to track her movements
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and went to the car's last known location. 911, what's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the location of your emergency?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: 900 Mountain Creek Road.
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: Okay, what's going on?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: My daughter has been missing. I haven't heard from her
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: since Wednesday, and she's had no phone activity.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: And we just located her vehicle outside the apartment.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's been here since Wednesday night.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: At 8.47 and has not left yet. We have reason
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to suspect that she may be in danger. Chattanooga police
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: joined Jasmine's parents at the scene.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: So what's going on exactly?
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: She's been missing for four days.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So our daughter Wednesday said, uh, texted, we never actually
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: spoke to her, texted and said she was going out
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of town for the week with a girl friend, Emma.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I just talked to Emma today. She did not go
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: out of town with Emma.
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: So I, I.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Tracked her, um, her, my Chevrolet app. Tuesday night is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the last time I saw my daughter. Wednesday, it came
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: right here. It hadn't been moved since. I pulled up
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: her phone records. She has not made any phone calls
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: since Tuesday night, and someone has been resetting her passwords.
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: Have y'all been in, like, any arguments or anything recently?
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Nothing like that?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Everybody's close.
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: Her granny lived with us. She passed Tuesday night.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry to hear that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: No, everybody's been fine.
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: There's been no arguments.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: And she's never done that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Inside the car, the driving position had been changed.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: The seat was further back than Jasmine would have had it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Jasmine was very petite. She was short and she was small.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: And the seat seemed to have been further back than
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: a short, small woman would have driven it at.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: As far as right now, I can get her listed
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: as missing in the national database.
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: So that if anybody comes across her, it's going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: pop up bright red, missing person.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: If you look at missing person statistics, it's not that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: common for women in their 20s to go missing and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to not be found relatively quickly. So most missing persons
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: who are female are juveniles.
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go ahead and call an investigator.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Jasmine's car being found in a random place, her not
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: making contact with her parents, and missing Thanksgiving. Those are
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all things that, for Jasmine, are out of the ordinary.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And so it's more those factors that make this an
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: important case because those are all unusual things for her.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And when we look at missing persons, just like with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: any other kind of situation where there's a big question mark,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we're looking for things that are out of the ordinary
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for the specific individual. We're looking for what are called
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: changes from baseline. The police were limited in what they
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: could do, but Jasmine's parents were convinced something sinister had happened.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: They did their own detective work and tracked Jasmine's vehicle
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: even further back in time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Because the car was attached to an app, they were
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: able to track its movements, and they were eventually able
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to discover that that car had been to Tremont Street previously.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: The exact address had already been sent by Jasmine to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: her mom.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Jasmine had dropped her location to her mother. on the
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: night she went missing, in the middle of the night,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: around 2.15 a.m. Mom initially did not see the pin drop.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: It was only when the family was really searching for
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Jasmine that her mother was able to go back in
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: her text and all of a sudden said, oh my gosh,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: she sent me her location.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Jasmine's parents went straight there. It was an apartment complex
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: on Tremont Street, just five miles away from where Jasmine's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: car had been found.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: When they get to the apartment building, they started sort
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: of canvassing the apartment building. This couple that lived in
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: the building also was able to identify a scream of
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: what seemed like a female around the time Jasmine went missing.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: The neighbors confirmed to her parents the scream came from
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: inside apartment 210. The occupant, a student named Jason Chen,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a name familiar to Jasmine's parents.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Jasmine was a young female. She was not in a
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: serious relationship. She was casually seeing a student at the
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: local university, Jason Chen. Some of her family members had
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: met him, but her parents had not.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Desperate to find their daughter, Jasmine's parents decide to break
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in to Jason Chen's apartment.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: My daughter's driver's license, her credit cards, everything is right
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: here in the open. I'm freaking the f * *
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: * out. Wait in the hallway for the officers. They
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: are en route to you right now.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: I knew that something bad had happened when I learned
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: that the family found Jasmine's personal items in this apartment.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: They were items that you would not leave behind. A
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: driver's license. Your credit cards. I knew that something was wrong.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: A few minutes after the 911 call, Officers arrived to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: pick up Jasmine's parents' investigation.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: None of y'all are in here?
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: No.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: No, I shouldn't. Just hang on.
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: Up here.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: We're just going to make sure that, you know, obviously
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: there is.
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: No one in here.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Smells like rotting food. See that?
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Along here, there you are.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: Is she in there? She's not in here.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: A missing child is one of the greatest fears that
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: any parent would have. You instantly go to very dark places.
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: Is my child hurt? Is my child alive? Is she
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: being held against her will?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Officers needed to speak with the neighbors who'd heard the screams.
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning, we were sitting on the
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: couch right there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I heard some yelling.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I took a note on my phone.
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: So I just wrote the time down around about that
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: I heard it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That was the date. I haven't changed it since.
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: So November 23rd, that was Wednesday night.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I wrote down the time of 2.15 a.m.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The time of the scream exactly matched when Jasmine sent
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the pin drop to her mom. The police urgently needed
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to find her. They started to look for Jason Chen.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: All they knew was that he was a university student
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: doing computer science.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Jason Chen was nowhere to be found. Police are calling him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: They are trying to contact him. They have his information.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: He is not responding, and they do not know where
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: he is at.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Alongside, A major search operation was also underway for Jasmine.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Everyone is looking for Jasmine. Her mom's frantic and trying
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: to find her daughter. She was clearly very popular. She
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: clearly had a lot of people who cared about her.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: And Chattanooga is such a close-knit community that when someone
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: goes missing like this, you'll see it spread like wildfire.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Pace's disappearance has caught the eye of social media.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Please stop scrolling and help me find my friend.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Share it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Get the word out.
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: When I heard the news that Jasmine was missing, it
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: was truly horrific. I couldn't believe that what was going
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: on was truly happening.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: At this point in the investigation, a search warrant was
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: then executed by the Chattanooga Police Department. They utilized a
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: tool that we basically refer to as luminol. It is
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: a substance that can identify the presence of blood. With
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: the naked eye, most of the investigators could not really
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: see any blood. But when they utilized that luminol, turned
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: the lights off, this was not a faint trace of blood.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: They found quantities of blood that were not survivable.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: A closer forensic examination of the apartment only confirmed the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: worst-case scenario.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: There was clearly a cleanup job, but not good enough.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: It was clear that not only had something gone terribly wrong,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: but that most likely whosever blood that was was not alive.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Investigators needed to confirm if it was Jasmine's blood.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Law enforcement took a sample from her toothbrush at her
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: parents' house. To compare it to the blood in the apartment,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: we sent it off to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: and asked for it to be tested as soon as possible.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Outside the apartment, by a dumpster, the police discovered items
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: covered in blood.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Jason Chin, he's gone from a person of interest to
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: the primary suspect in possibly a homicide.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Police were working around the clock to find him. They
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: checked the neighborhood for surveillance footage in search of digital clues.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Law enforcement are seeking out video footage from different locations
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: that Jason may have visited nearby his residence.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Police got a lucky break when they checked the security
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: footage from a nearby store. The morning after Jasmine went missing,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Jason Chen was captured on camera buying cleaning products.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: What was especially interesting to us is that throughout these
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: videos and throughout this day, Mr. Chen wears a very
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: distinct hat that makes him extremely easy to identify, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: we continue to see this hat throughout the course of
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: the investigation.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Another local store provided the police with even more unsettling scenes.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jason was buying bandages and hydrogen peroxide. There's something called
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the illusion of invulnerability, which is when perpetrators think that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they can't get caught. So they're basically overconfident in their
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: ability to get away with a crime. And in this case,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: having a really distinctive hat could be an oversight. But
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it could also be someone who's just incredibly overconfident and thinks,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what I wear. It doesn't really
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: matter what I'm doing because I'm not going to get caught.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: The day after Jasmine went missing, doorbell footage captured Jason
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: returning to his apartment multiple times. And when investigators checked
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: footage from a street camera outside the apartment, they made
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: another shocking discovery.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: We were able to locate video footage of Jasmine Pace's
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: vehicle actually leaving his apartment. And this is when that
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: hat becomes important again because we believe that the figure
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: in the driver's seat of the vehicle can be identified
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: as Jason Chen based on the hat he's wearing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But why would Jason Chen be driving Jasmine's car? As
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: investigators continued to search through hours of surveillance footage.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Another glimpse of Jason aroused suspicion.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: The one piece of video evidence that really stuck, drew
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: me in and captured my imagination was the camera that
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: we have installed on a street corner and it just
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: so happened to look up Tremont Street to Jason Chin's apartment.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: On that, I could see Jason Chin coming and going
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: and ultimately I could see him taking a suitcase out
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: the front door of his apartment and then driving away.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The contents of the suitcase remained a mystery. Jasmine was
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: still nowhere to be found. Then the DNA results came back.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: The blood in the apartment was confirmed to be Jasmine's.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: The moment with the family in which we had to
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: tell them that we did not expect to find Jasmine
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: alive based on the blood found in his apartment was
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: when we just had to be honest with them. At
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: that point, we were all realistic that we were simply
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: looking for a body.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Eight days after Jasmine went missing, police were finally able
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to access Jason's cell phone location data. It led them
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: on a drive two hours away from Chattanooga to Nolensville, Tennessee.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: A house owned by Jason Chen's parents.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: Police. How are you doing?
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Chen?
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Mr. Chen?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Detective Crawford.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Came here to speak with your son, Jason.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He emerged from the shadows.
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: All right, you're going to go with this officer right here.
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: We're going to pat you down, make sure you don't
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: have anything on you.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Since you're in the back of the police car, he's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: going to put you in handcuffs. Why would I need
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to be put in the police car?
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Because you can't go down there.
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: You're not free to go down there by yourself.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: You're going to have.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: To go down there with us.
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: Is there any, like, probable cause or anything?
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: They'll explain that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: They're going to explain that to you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Asking the police officers whether they have probable cause. It
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: feels like legal language, which could suggest that he's been
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: researching the kinds of things the police need to have
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in order to arrest him, but also in terms of
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the kinds of evidence they need to prosecute him. And that,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to me, given the circumstances, does feel suspicious.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: Go ahead and put your hands behind your back. Appreciate it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Jennifer, police say blood spatters found in a young man's
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: apartment led them to charge him with homicide in the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: case of missing 22-year-old Jasmine Pace.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: When Jason was taken into custody, police tried to conduct
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: an interview with him, and at that point in time,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: he chose not to say anything.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But a search of Jason's parents' house led to more
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: incriminating evidence.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: They had a one-car garage, and it was his vehicle
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: that was meticulously cleaned that was in his parents' garage
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: while his parents' vehicles were in the driveway.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Police also discovered handwritten notes about Jasmine's life and a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: complete timeline of their interactions. Jason Chen was now in custody,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: but Jasmine was still missing. All search efforts were focused
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: on finding Jasmine's body.
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: In any homicide prosecution, we always want to have a body.
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: It is vitally important to prove one of the essential
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: elements in that there was an unlawful killing. Absent a body,
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: there's always a reasonable doubt that that person is still alive.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: We knew that he was a suspect in a homicide,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: but we did not have Jasmine Pace, and that's.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: What we needed.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Using Jason Chen's cell phone location data, investigators worked on
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: pinpointing his movements around the time Jasmine went missing.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: When law enforcement began to go through those records, we
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: found that he was all over town, but in a
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: very suspicious place at one point on the bank of
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: the Tennessee River.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: When the investigators arrived in the secluded area off of
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: Suck Creek Road, west of Chattanooga, they immediately noticed a suitcase.
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: They dragged that suitcase up onto the flat ground, opened
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: it up, and immediately felt what they recognized to be
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: a human body.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: The medical examiner took X-ray images of the suitcase's contents.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: The body was wrapped in three separate garbage bags. It
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: was curled into what's described as the fetal position.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: The body was confirmed to be Jasmine Pace.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Jasmine Pace was handcuffed twice. once with a handcuff to
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: her wrist attached to her right leg, another with a
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: set of leg shackles. One of the shackles was affixed
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: around her elbow area and the other one to her
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: opposite left leg. The report of our medical examiner was
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: very chilling. It told us that Jasmine Pace had been
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: stabbed 60 times and her shoulder was in her throat,
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: in her head, in her abdomen. It described a large
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: portion of a large knife being broken off in her lung.
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: She died of blood loss and aspirated on her own blood.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: When the body of Jasmine Pace was positive identified, it
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: really shook the entire city. People just wanted to understand
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: why could someone do this to this girl?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: This is a really brutal find. And specifically the fact
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that she was stabbed so many times makes it really
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: clear that this had nothing to do with self-defense. It
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with someone who is acting impulsively
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: maybe once or twice. This is someone who is intentionally
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: going back and back and back. in order to cause
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: either maximum damage while she's still alive or maximum damage
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to her body afterwards. So this is an obvious and
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: clear case of overkill where someone is maybe emotional, but
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: in a way that is sustained, not in a way
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that is sort of a rash reaction.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: This was a tough case for everybody. Just the gruesome
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: nature of it, the uniqueness based on what we typically
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: see in terms of violent crime in Chattanooga. So this
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: had been a tough process. It was a tough process
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: to go through with her family. So as trial approached,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: it was somber.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And while they were preparing for the trial, a crucial
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: late discovery of more evidence.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: We got a call from the detective in the case
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: who said, we found her SIM card, and it was
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: in Jason Chin's backpack. The fact that the criminal defendant
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: has the victim's SIM card in his possession is just
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: great evidence. There is no explanation for that. And so
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: we put that on top of everything that we already had,
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: and it was sort of the cherry on top of
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: this case.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: A vital piece of evidence that proved Jason had been
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: impersonating Jasmine after she was killed.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: She was murdered around 2.15 in the morning a.m., And
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: then it wasn't until that night around 6 to 6.30 p.m.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: that we know that he takes her body to the
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: bank of the Tennessee River. During that day, he's also
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: texting her as if she is still alive and ensuring
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: that her phone, which he had in his possession, appears
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: that these messages were read.
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: He posted a picture of him holding a drink in
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: his hand. The problem with that is the photograph metadata, well,
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: it showed that it was actually taken months and months
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: before the homicide, so it was fake. He knew that
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: Jasmine Pace was dead, and he was trying to create
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: a digital alibi for himself.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: The trial began in January 2025.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: It was shocking to us when in the defendant's opening statement,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: his attorney admits, yeah, he did kill her, but he
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: did it in a.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: State of passion.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: He was provoked.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: The defense that something is a crime of passion is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a line of defense that has long been used by people,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: especially by men killing women, especially men killing intimate partners.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And that is something that is changing in terms of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the societal perception of acceptability. It's no longer seen as
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: something that should excuse murder or even potentially be a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: mitigating circumstance. The question we should also be asking as
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a society is, do we care? Because really people should
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: be able to control their emotional responses, even to strong
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and threatening situations. And murder is never an acceptable option,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: no matter how angry.
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: You would get.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: The defense claim that Jasmine had attacked Jason with a
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: wine bottle after discovering that he was messaging other girls
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: on Tinder. it seemed basically impossible that, one, that she
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: could have posed any physical threat to Jason, and that, two,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: with the cell phone data, it was revealed that the
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: day before Jason killed Jasmine, he had not received one
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: message on Tinder.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: But the cell phone data revealed Jason did use a
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: dating app within six hours of killing Jasmine.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Jason had been messaging other girls mere hours after He
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: had killed Jasmine Pace and was telling them, hey, I
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: guess we're boyfriend-girlfriend now. And also, he was playing video
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: games after, like, with her body still in the apartment,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: he was talking about, like, hey, let's run some Call
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: of Duty.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: All of this is happening while Jasmine is dead in
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the apartment. It does feel like the act of a psychopath.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: It feels like someone who doesn't care and is getting
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: on with his life rather than panicking and trying immediately
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to deal with the consequences. After an eight-day trial, Jason
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Chen was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: without parole.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: What he did was so heinous in this case, was
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: so unprovoked, so uncalled for, that I think Jason Chen
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: had forfeited his right to every back in society because
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: we don't need monsters like that in our society.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: I miss Jasmine's personality. her compassion, her empathy. Jasmine should
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: be remembered for her kind spirit. We did a visual
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: candlelight for her, you know, celebrating her life and who
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: she was as a person. There were about 200 people
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: at the visual candlelight. And just seeing all the students
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: come out and show their love and support, it was
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: a positive atmosphere for anyone to come out and to
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: celebrate the memory of Jasmine. she left a really big
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: impact on the community. And that shows with a lot
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: of people coming to her candlelight.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: We would like Jasmine to be remembered as the ray
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: of sunshine within her friends and family group.
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: That she was.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: She was vibrant.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: She was beautiful. She was always there. She was loyal.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: She had everything going for her. And that's part of
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: why this was so tragic. But She certainly was arrayed.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: of sunshine and that's a message that we'll continue to
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: try to get across.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: In murder cases, victims almost always know and trust the perpetrators,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: which is why the perpetrators are able to get them
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: into compromising situations in the first place. They effectively hijack
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the victim's intuition. And what they're doing is they're overriding
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: all the cues that you could be looking for, all
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the red flags, and they're turning them around and making
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: themselves instead seem like nice guys. In the UK, in Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: One of the largest cities in the Midlands, with over 250,000 people.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Known as the home of pottery in the UK, with
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a football team nicknamed the Potters. But statistically, a higher
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: than average crime rate. It was home to 18-year-old Megan Newton.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Megan was studying sports science at Newcastle College. She was
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a talented football player and recently got a tattoo to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: show her love for the game.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Megan had three jobs. She not only did that in
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: her spare time, she coached an under-7 girl's football team.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: She was a caring person, dealing with children. She loved children.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: She gave up her spare time to help them get better.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Megan's dream was to get a sports scholarship to study
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in America.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: She had real ambition for her life.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Friday, April 19th, 2019. Megan was working her usual evening
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: shift in a local fish and chip shop.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Megan finished at around 9.30, working in the chip shop
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: that she worked in.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: After her shift, Megan went home to get changed.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: She went to meet some friends in a pub, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: then they all went to a club together. They were
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: having a lovely evening. Megan was happily showing off a
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: new tattoo that she had.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: At 2.45am, Megan left the club and took a taxi home.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: The next morning... A worrying discovery. Neighbours found a set
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: of keys covered in blood in a car park outside
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Megan's apartment.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Some people who live in the block were able to
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: establish it belonged to one of the Grand Fort flats. So,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: out of concern for the occupant there, they opened the door,
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: they went in. And what they found was there was
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: a naked female laying on the bed, quite clearly deceased
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: and quite clearly suffering from some horrendous injuries. So they
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: came away and dialed 999.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Police immediately responded to the scene.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: When the officers arrived, the witnesses took them to the
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: flat and it was quite obvious from her injuries and
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: the blood at the scene that this wasn't an accident.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Inside they also found a knife, a knife that they
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: believed was the one that caused the injuries, making this
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: a crucial piece of evidence. They would have been in
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: no doubt that this was now a murder investigation.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: The woman was confirmed to be Megan Newton.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Her flat was now a crime scene, meaning it would
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: be locked down and it would need to be forensically
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: examined to look for any trace of that could indicate
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: not only what happened there, but who it was that
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: killed her.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Investigators urgently needed to find Megan's killer.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: The next important step was to build up a picture
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: of her movements that night, that evening. Where had she been?
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Who'd she been with?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Police needed to track Megan's route, retracing how she got
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to the nightclub the night before.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Police will be looking for what we call quick wins.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: CCTV that could potentially give some clues as to what
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: went on and, importantly, who the killer may have been.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Police found CCTV footage from outside the club. They were
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: able to identify Megan leaving in a taxi.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: In that taxi was one of her female friends and
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: a male. This clip shows... The three of them getting
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: in the cab, Megan in the middle, and the friend
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: closest to the passenger side. They all look comfortable, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: all intents and purposes, there's nothing suspicious going on here.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Police searched for surveillance cameras close to Megan's home. They
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: found footage of Megan and the man walking towards her apartment.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: By now, the cab has dropped them off, and there
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: are just the two of them now.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: As police tracked Megan's movements on camera, they got a
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: major breakthrough.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: There was actually cameras in and around Megan's flat. Cameras
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: that overlooked her front door.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: When detectives searched through the recording, they identified Megan arriving home.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: The footage showed her arriving around 3.45am and she wasn't alone.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: She was with a male. Tall, slim, young, white, with
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: dark hair. This is the best quality CCTV so far.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: They're smiling, they look happy. There was no aggravation between them.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: There was definitely nothing at this point that you would
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: point out as looking suspicious.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Analysis of the man's behavior revealed a subtle change in
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: his demeanor.
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: What was once quite relaxed shifts. He stands quite close
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: to Megan. He looks around. We don't know if he's
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: responding to a noise or just scoping out to see
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: if someone's watching him. But there's definitely something that's shifted.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Two hours passed. Then he appeared on camera again.
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: As the man leaves Megan's apartment, it looks like he
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: is quite calm. He walks, he doesn't run. He seems
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: very composed as he makes his way.
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: To the door.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: The footage is on a front door, so there's no
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: dispute as to who went in and who came out.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: An exterior camera captured the man as he left Megan's building.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: This, to me, looks really very casual. And with his
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: right hand, we see him throw something down.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: The object appeared to land in the same spot where
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the neighbours had found Megan's keys covered in blood.
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: Again, he seems quite calm, doesn't particularly seem phased. He's
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: even checking his phone. It doesn't seem to be that
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: anything's amiss.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Of all the video footage, this clip to me is
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: the one that really hits home. As he's walking away,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: he looks down and we can see that there's something
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: on his hands. You can see the colour of it.
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: It's red.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: When police spoke to Megan's friends, they discovered the man
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: in the footage was Joseph Trevor. A 19-year-old semi-professional footballer
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: who had attended the same school as Megan. Both of
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: his parents were police officers.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: Remarkably, it wasn't the first time he'd come to notice
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: of police because that evening, before he met Megan, He'd
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: been stopped by bouncers and found to have white powder
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: on him, and they called the police, and he was
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: dealt with by them for this white powder that turned
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: out to be ketamine. The police detained him, but the
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: decision was made that he was not fit to be detained, i.e.
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: he'd been drinking, potentially taking drugs. So those drugs were
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: taken from him, and he was given a bail date
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: to come to the police station at a later time.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: After Joseph Trevor was released from the police station, he
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: went straight to the Kiln nightclub where he met Megan.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: And just a few hours after he left Megan's apartment alone,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: officers were called out to a potential suicide threat.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: The police were called to a male who was sitting
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: on the side of a bridge over the A500. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: when police arrived, they found that that male was Joseph Trevor.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: He was sat there in a way that caused concern.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: He's on this side of a bridge overlooking a road.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Is he somebody that may be looking to take their
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: own life?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Joseph was taken to the hospital. He was seen by
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: a mental health worker and picked up by his dad.
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: We don't know exactly what was going through Joseph Trevor's mind.
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: It could be guilt, it could be remorse, it could
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: be shame. However, In these instances, self-preservation outweighs guilt and
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: what unfolded may have been much more in response to
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: a fear of the consequences rather than true morals for
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: what he had done.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Joseph Trevor had gone home to his house that he
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: lived at with his mum and dad.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: He decided to confess to his family.
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: He says to them, I've done something bad.
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: For Joseph Trevor's parents, who were both police officers, hearing
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: the news about what he did must have been devastating.
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: But the reality is there was only one outcome. In
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: order for Megan to have justice, they had to forgo
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: protecting their son.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: His parents phoned the police and informed them that the
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: murderer of Megan Newton was in fact their son, Joseph Trevor.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Joseph Trevor was arrested and charged with the murder of
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Megan Newton.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: When someone commits a crime such as this, it's important
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: to understand, well, is this a one-off? Have they done
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: anything like this in the past? In the case of
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: Joseph Trevor, it appeared that he had. When he was
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: 15 years old, he'd been arrested for a sexual assault.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: That was never prosecuted. but it gave a clue as
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: to why and how this happened to Megan.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: The autopsy report revealed the full extent of Megan's injuries. Dr.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Brett Lockyer is a forensic pathologist.
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: In Megan's case, the pathologist was able to determine that
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: there were nine stab wounds to the back of her neck.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Those stab wounds had entered into her chest and had
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: injured both her lungs. The pathologist had found injuries to
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: her neck, which would indicate that she had been strangled,
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: that there had been a period of neck compression, followed
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: by nine stab wounds. This sustained and brutal attack is
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: the reason why Megan died.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: The autopsy also confirmed Megan had been sexually assaulted.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: This is a very disturbing and violent crime. From a
• 42:45
  Speaker 11: psychological perspective, this is overkill. And overkill really does often
• 42:49
  Speaker 11: suggest there is an intense emotional experience like rage, sadism.
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: It's about power and control. We also have to acknowledge
• 42:59
  Speaker 11: that the throat is where our voice resides. So strangulation
• 43:02
  Speaker 11: can also be seen as a way to silence a victim,
• 43:05
  Speaker 11: especially if they've been rejected or if there's resistance, or
• 43:09
  Speaker 11: even to silence the victim from speaking about what actually happened.
• 43:13
  Speaker 11: In that moment, the perpetrator has that person's life literally
• 43:16
  Speaker 11: in their hands. They choose if they live or die.
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: It's about inflicting anxiety, terror in the victim, but also
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: exerting dominance.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: In court, the full details of the evening Megan was
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: killed came to light.
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: On that evening, she'd taken him home in order to
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: stop him getting into trouble with his parents. and Trevor
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: has repaid her by raping her, murdering her, and then
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: leaving her dead in her own apartment before fleeing the scene.
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: This was a brutal and sustained attack, showing no regard
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: for Megan's life.
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: Joseph Trevor had expressed a desire not to go home
• 44:00
  Speaker 11: because he was intoxicated and he didn't want his parents
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: to see him in that state. Megan, being the understanding
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: friend that she was, offered to share her sanctuary with
• 44:09
  Speaker 11: Joseph Trevor, but he abused it, took advantage of it
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: and attacked her and killed her in her own home.
• 44:15
  Speaker 11: This really does highlight how Megan's act of kindness was
• 44:19
  Speaker 11: met with betrayal and ultimately her losing her life.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: The video evidence gave police a rare insight into the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: mind of Joseph Trevor.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: It's quite unusual to actually get a glimpse of a
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: killer soon after the murder has taken place. You don't
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: often get that look into their eyes as you do
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: in this instance, when he's coming out of that flat.
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: Knowing that this man's the killer invites us to look
• 44:47
  Speaker 11: at this clip differently. The calmness that we're seeing takes
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: on a different quality. It's quite chilling, it's cold, it's callous,
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: and it has no indication of what's just taken place
• 44:59
  Speaker 11: moments before.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: In February 2020, Joseph Trevor was sentenced to 21 years
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: for the murder and rape of Megan Newton.
• 45:15
  Speaker 11: It's really important that talking about Megan's murder doesn't take
• 45:19
  Speaker 11: away her dignity. While it's an important case that real
• 45:23
  Speaker 11: lessons can be learned, we have to hold in mind
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: that a real woman, a young woman, a woman who
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: had her whole life ahead of her, is at the
• 45:31
  Speaker 11: center of this. Megan brought lots of joy to many people.
• 45:36
  Speaker 11: She was kind. compassionate and caring and she will be
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: missed by not only her friends and her family but
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: her community. Megan was a keen footballer not only in
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: terms of playing but also teaching the younger generation to
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: play this sport and encouraging women to get involved. This
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: is inspiring, this is incredibly hopeful, this is what Megan
• 45:59
  Speaker 11: should be remembered for.
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
