Summary

Jackie Vandagriff was a 24-year-old student at Texas Woman’s University, who was killed in September 2016. Her murderer was her ex-boyfriend, 30-year-old Charles Bryant, who stalked and harassed her leading up to the violent and senseless murder. Jackie did everything right, calling the police, getting a trespass warrant issued for Charles since he kept showing up at her dorm room… but sadly it wasn’t enough.
