Someone She Trusted: The Unsolved Murder of Jessie Marie Twilight Song Crooks

A Simpler Time True Crime

It’s late August of 2001, and a bubbly teenager from a tiny town just outside Bowling Green, Kentucky, answers a phone call on her family’s landline. Everything that happens after that call becomes a mystery. No one knows who was on the other end, but it’s believed she slipped out of her house that night to meet the caller and never came back.
Weeks later, her body was found the day before a national tragedy, and her case faded from the headlines almost instantly. The lack of media attention is just one of the many barriers this investigation has faced. With law enforcement keeping even basic details like her cause of death under wraps, there’s only so much the public knows. But my hope today is to walk you through what we do know and maybe spark the conscience of someone who holds the missing pieces. Because small towns can’t keep a secret forever.
TIPS: Warren County Sheriff's Office 270-842-1633.
