There were two more murders 15 miles away.

When police arrived, they found the telephones and electricity lines.

We have a weird homicide.

A scene described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird...

Some murders are more violent than others.

On March 3rd, 1985, a woman was murdered at a motel where she worked.

A murder so violent, it sent a shiver down my spine.

So if you like your coffee hot, but your bones chilled, sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder.

On March 3, 1985, at around 2.37 p.m., the body of Catherine Jean Jenkins, a cleaning lady at the Sabon Motel in Cheatham County, Tennessee, was found wrapped in a bed sheet in room 21 of the motel.

From the look of the scene, she was attacked while cleaning the room. Her clothing pulled up over her breast, panties cut and torn into pieces.

She had been stabbed multiple times in the chest and had wounds that penetrated through the upper portion of her vagina and into her lower abdomen.

And underneath the band of her watch was a $20 bill.

Autopsies would later show that it took six minutes for Catherine to die,

during which she remained conscious and attempted to fight off her attacker.

On the morning of her murder at around 9.30 a.m., Catherine was left in charge of the motel,

which, at the time, still had guests in three of the rooms.

She was given the bank bag, which only had about $100 in small bills for change, and left to finish her shift.

Catherine was known to carry her car keys with her when she worked, and not only were they missing, but so was her 1980s silver Volvo.

It was that Volvo that would ultimately help to solve her murder

when a witness saw it pulling from the parking lot being driven by a man with short, light-colored hair.

The witness followed the car as it crossed over the interstate and headed towards Nashville at high speeds,

and was eventually found a few miles past Gallatin on the way to Kentucky.
