On April 8, 2014, 25-year-old Jessica Jones was found in the garage of her boyfriend’s grandparents’ home in Arlington, Washington, with a gunshot wound to the head. She was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and died the next day; the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide.

Jessica’s boyfriend, 26-year-old Daniel Rinker, initially told police she had been struck in a random drive-by by someone in a dark blue Dodge Neon. Detectives found inconsistencies in his account: neighbors reported hearing yelling then a single gunshot, a witness saw Rinker run from the garage and discard an object in a nearby field, and a silver revolver recovered in the area matched the gun Rinker was pictured holding on Facebook. Witnesses also reported prior threats by Rinker and a history of domestic violence.

Rinker later admitted guilt and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; he was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Investigators also uncovered evidence linking Rinker to a sexual relationship with an underage girl, resulting in additional second-degree rape of a child charges. Does anyone have further information about Jessica’s life or the events that led to that April afternoon?
