Interrogation - This Killer Girlfried Though She Would Go Home

On May 20, 2021, Detective Thompson of the Alaska County Sheriff's Office sat down across from Jasmine Webb in an interrogation room. She had been arrested on a warrant for first-degree murder. But as the detective began to build rapport, talking about football and her hometown, he made a crucial disclosure: "I've spoken to your sister." Jasmine's family was concerned, and her sister had already told investigators what Jasmine told her. The detective was not bluffing. The entire conversation was being recorded, and he had evidence, witnesses, and phone records that placed her at the scene of a fatal shooting in Alachua County. The victim was not the intended target.

The web of relationships and the shooting

The shooting stemmed from a love triangle. Jasmine's boyfriend, Doug Heath, had been exchanging heated messages with a man named Derek "Smoke" Smith over an affair. Detective Thompson revealed that those messages were not coming from Doug's phone—they were coming from Jasmine's phone. The detective laid out the evidence: Doug's lifted black Avalanche truck was captured on video and tag readers at the scene. Multiple witnesses, including a retired deputy who lived on the road, saw the truck leaving. Another witness, Martisha Johnson, was in custody and talking. Jasmine's own sister had recorded a call in which Jasmine admitted she was there but did not shoot.
