Summary
In December of 2015, 27-year-old Jessie Bardwell moved from Alabama to Texas to live with her boyfriend, 28-year-old Jason Lowe. Her friends and family knew this was a bad situation for her–Jason was abusive and controlling over every facet of her life. In May of 2016, Jessie disappeared, and her father Gary sprung into action. He traveled to Texas himself and got the police involved. He could just feel that she was dead, and even had a nightmare about her murder the night before her disappearance.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Ray. |
| 0:11.1 | Thank you so much for joining me today. |
| 0:12.8 | And if you're new to the show, then welcome. |
| 0:14.5 | I have covered plenty of cases where prosecutors don't necessarily have a straightforward motive. |
| 0:22.5 | I've also covered cases where because of certain factors, |
| 0:26.7 | they also don't know where the murder took place, |
| 0:30.2 | you know, where the physical crime scene was. |
| 0:32.9 | And I've also covered plenty of cases where the medical examiners |
| 0:37.0 | just could not determine a cause of death. |
| 0:39.9 | But normally, with the majority of the cases that I cover and just cases in general, |
| 0:46.3 | they have at least two out of the three of those things, the where, the how, or the why. |
| 0:52.9 | But in today's case, we actually don't know any of these, |
| 0:57.3 | which makes it really frustrating, |
| 0:59.3 | but it's a case that definitely should be talked about. |
| 1:02.4 | In this episode, I'm going to be telling you |
| 1:04.2 | about the murder of the beautiful Jesse Bardwell. |
| 1:08.0 | And now let's go ahead and jump in. |
| 1:10.1 | So, Jesse Merle Garner Bardwell was born on |
| 1:13.6 | September 10th, 1988 in Pascagoula, Mississippi to her father Gary and her mother Carla. And she also |
| 1:20.8 | had one older brother named Brandon. Now, according to Gary, the minute that Jesse entered this |
| 1:26.4 | world, he just burst into tears because of the love he already felt for her. |
| 1:30.6 | And that love only got stronger every day. |
