Thank you for joining us!  We’ve now penetrated 108 countries globally, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 because of YOU!

This case stunk from its inception.

Tonight, we explore the death of Crystal McCrory Jones, a sweet mother of 2 and a friend to all who were blessed to know her.

You’ve heard of homicide, defined as the unlawful killing of one human being by another. We’re betting you may not have heard as much about uxoricide.  The killing of one’s wife. You’ll have to determine for yourself, but there are very suspicious details.

We were very fortunate to sit down with Jana Guyewski-Latigar (the sister of the deceased).

On February 9, 2023, in the sleepy town of Oak Grove, Louisiana, (2020 Census population: 1,441), Crystal was found dead in her home from what was reported to be a “self-inflicted” gunshot wound to the head.

Within 1 hour & 45 minutes, cause of death was ruled a suicide.

Here are just a few more of the highly suspicious facts:

♦ Two days prior to Crystal’s death, the Ring Doorbell Camera to her home was cut off. Coincidence, or evidence of pre-planning or conspiracy?

♦ Fact: Her husband, Tony Joe Jones, was an employee of the West Carroll Parrish Sheriff’s Department — the department charged with “investigating” the case.

♦ No matter who you are or what you do in life, if your spouse is dead in your home, under any questionable circumstances you can expect to be considered a suspect. 
That never happened in this case. Why not?

♦ There is argument that Tony changed his story as to his whereabouts and specific location on the day Crystal died. 

♦ Google Location Data place him near the home, consistent with and in conjunction to the time of death initially listed on Crystal’s Death Certificate.

♦ The Parish Coroner initially changed the time of death from 10:35 AM to 5:05 PM, why?

♦ Shortly following his wife’s death, Tony vigorously pursued efforts to collect on a $63K group life insurance policy. 

♦ Soon thereafter, facts show that the husband had Crystal’s body cremated. Was this evidence of a “guilty mind”, establishing the necessary legal “mens rea” in an effort to destroy any physical evidence or prevent any hope of a 3rd party, independent forensic exam of the body?

♦ Upon Crystal’s death Jana and Crystal’s surviving family members were denied an investigation into her sister’s death by the Louisiana State Police Department. Why?

♦ Why the rush to judgement with so little, if any, investigation?

Help to give her life and legacy a voice. Help to solve Crystal’s murder. Tune in and hear the rest of the salacious details.

I’ve witnessed a lot of examples of bad policing throughout my career— having spent many years as an investigator.  THIS case may very well be the worst example of unprofessional, shoddy, backwoods, good ol’ boy, overt and intentionally corrupt actions on the part of law enforcement to cover up a murder that evidence suggests that perhaps one of their own may have been involved in — that I have ever heard of in my life.
