Jessica Chambers murder: Four years after teen was burned to death, her case still remains a mystery
The family of 19-year-old Jessica Chambers is still trying to bring their daughter's killer to justice, with two trials of a suspect ending with no verdict
There continues to be a mystery surrounding the death of 19-year-old Mississippi cheerleader Jessica Chambers, who was burned alive and murdered in 2014. Two trials since then have failed to reach a verdict on the guilt of the primary suspect, 29-year-old Quinton Tellis, with a jury unable to reach a conclusion on either occasion, and her family is still struggling to understand who could have killed her.
On the evening of December 6, 2014, a truck driver spotted a car fire along a rural road in Courtland, Mississippi, and called 911. When firefighters responded to the scene, they found a Kia Rio in flames and saw a woman who had also been set on fire and walking towards them wearing nothing but her underwear.
