0:18.0	On June 4, 2008, two young movers named Travis and Jody were capping off an afternoon of
0:34.0	lovemaking by taking pictures in the shower. As Jody sat in front of the shower looking at the photos,
0:41.0	she heard a really loud pop just as she was knocked in the head and rendered unconscious briefly.
0:49.0	When she came to, Travis was huddling in the shower. He was terrified. She wanted to get help, but there were two

2:12.0	So Jody grabbed her purse and ran out the door.
2:18.0	Confused? Yes, well, so were the police. Why?
2:24.0	Because this was the second version of the story that Jody told police about the events that occurred on the night that Travis was murdered.
2:32.0	Sound unbelievable? That's because it was.
2:36.0	Jody could not keep her story straight. She would even change the details in numerous press interviews she gave after she was arrested.
