Hi, Crime Genkies. This might have been the first episode that popped up in your feed this morning,

0:05.3

but this is actually part two of a really, really special, important story that I wanted to bring you.

0:11.8

So if this is the first time that you're hearing the name, Jenny Lynn, please go back and listen to part one,

0:17.8

and I'll explain everything, including why I'm all of a sudden here with a two-parter for you on a Wednesday.

0:23.4

When we left off last episode, police were four months into their investigation and struggling to find a viable suspect.

0:31.4

But a written questionnaire they passed out in Lynn's neighborhood brought out the most promising tip they'd received yet.

0:38.4

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is a special episode of The Deck that I'm bringing to all of my crime genkies.

1:09.4

One of the responses to the questionnaire was from a woman who was part of the neighborhood crime watch.

1:23.4

She said that she had talked to a neighbor of the lens, and this neighbor told her that she saw something the day Jenny was killed.

2:06.4

She said she did see a man that day, but she didn't get a good look at his face so she couldn't offer that great of a description.

2:12.4

And she also completely denied hearing any glass break. Here's Detective Smith again.

2:18.4

She was very, as the investigators would state, as she was very hesitant and wasn't fully cooperative and the interview did not want to give this information up.

2:29.4

And she was in fear if she, when they're trying to get this information out of her, she was in fear that if she said something that something was gonna happen to her.

2:38.4

So what they did was they went back with an FBI agent who spoke in her native language.

2:44.4

She spoke in her brick language. And she's saying she's watered in her roses.

2:49.4

She saw a man that she previously described. Short, worn a dark jacket, walk in front of the Lynn home and then stop.

2:57.4

She said the man walked back and forth in front of the house and looked at it, but she never saw him walk to the front door, never saw him go into the side yard and denied hearing glass break.
