? - Police question Janessa again because of what they describe as changing or inconsistent statements made by Jordan about the black truck. She then implicates Jordan in the murders (which she hadn't previously done). She did not say she saw him commit the murders, but she said that she saw him with what she believed to be the shotgun and then heard a loud bang. She told police that Jordan took something from his pocket while outside and threw it down. This is where police claim to have found a spent shotgun shell.
