Jessica Rogers was an 18-year-old woman from Calumet City, Illinois, who was found dead in her home on July 9, 2016. Authorities described a bloody scene and signs of a struggle, and investigators treated her death as a homicide with significant physical trauma to the victim.

Police arrested Jessica’s boyfriend shortly after her body was discovered. A Cook County judge denied him bail, and prosecutors presented forensic evidence and witness testimony placing him at the scene. The prosecution portrayed a history of violent behavior and argued the killing was premeditated; the defense disputed the evidence and maintained his innocence.

The case proceeded through multiple hearings and ultimately went to trial, where a jury found the boyfriend guilty of Jessica Rogers’ murder. Does anyone have information about Jessica, her life in Calumet City, or the events of July 9, 2016 that could add context to this case?
