When he brought his daughter over to meet me I thought what a wonderful family man. Wow was I wrong I am so sorry that I could not see the evil in him and did not rent to her. This is so sad I could have rented to her and kept him from my complex and she might be alive today again I am sorry I am so so sorry I used to manage the complex next door to her and I would find Chris sitting in my parking lot drinking so many times I asked him to leave and he did so without any complaints only saying that he couldnt go home just yet well I guess I know why now.

I am sorry for what your family has gone through and for the loss of Jessica. She sounds like a wonderful woman. As far as Jones attempting to blame your family, most of the time guys like this cannot accept or handle responsibility for what they do. Very likely when she was alive Jessica took the blame for him. At first he tried to blame Jessica and wasn't working for him so he had to find someone else to blame. Tim, I once lost a sibling and yes it changed my whole family. When you get together it is like it hits you in the face again. Christmas especially was hard, no one wanted to mention it because it was supposed to be a happy time. But not one of us could forget that someone was missing. Sometimes it helps to have a family ritual that remembers and includes the loved one in the celebration. Or just talking about memories of her and the rest of the family. And you also need to make new memories to remember. I know you miss Jessica but I hope that peace and some comfort has found your family. Catherine and Tim, thank you for posting.

She is 8yrs old now and suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She is living with me and her Grandfather in Calif. Chris Jones was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to life in prison.

This has changed my families lives in more ways then anybody would imagine. Jessie's daughter Lannaya has now been in the care of my parents since December 2007, and she is doing well considering everything she has gone through. She will be eligable for adoption for my parents in just a few weeks. As for Chris Jones he pled guilty to murder and received a life sentence. I want to thank all of you that have taken their time to read about the life of my sister and those that have posted their thoughtful comments. And my hopes and prayers are that this article will make a profound impact on anyones life that reads it. I am Jessica’s big brother.

No matter what else they may have done with their lives, they once had hopes and dreams. They had friends and family and people who loved them. They may have done good things, they may have done bad things, but most did not do anything that should have caused their murder. And if their lives were not perfect, there is always still the hope that one day, they would change the imperfections in their lives. They are all human beings.
