Joshua S. Brooks, 40, was found dead in the driver’s seat of his car at the bottom of a dead-end street in Springfield, Missouri, on September 10, 2018. His family became concerned after he stopped responding to texts late the previous night; investigators later reconstructed the prior evening as a movie date with Christina Duckett that ended in tragedy.

After the film the two drove to a secluded dead-end street. Brooks was shot three times in the head at close range. Detectives tied Duckett to the scene through Brooks’s text messages and movie-theater surveillance. Duckett told police Brooks was alive when she left, but electronic location evidence placed her near Brooks’s car between 12:04 a.m. and 12:37 a.m. She was also found to possess the same caliber and brand of ammunition used in the killing.

In November 2019 a Greene County jury convicted Christina Duckett of second-degree murder and armed criminal action after a trial featuring the physical and electronic evidence. Sentencing was scheduled for January 10, 2020. Does anyone have information about Brooks’s last known movements or the night of the movie date?
