Summary

On December 6, 2014, firefighters in Cortland, Mississippi, came across a horrifying scene after responding to a car fire - 19-year-old Jessica Chambers had been set on fire. They tried to save her, but to no avail. Although Jessica didn't survive her injuries, could she have given a clue to the first responders? Quintin Tellis, a friend of Jessica's, would later go on trial for her murder - but did he really do it?
