Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today came about kind of an interesting way. So a couple of months ago, I was doing this short true crime second on access Hollywood.

And afterwards someone who didn't know me never even heard of crime junkie reached out on Twitter because she saw me there and she goes, listen, I don't know you. I don't know your show, but it seems like you really care about what you're doing. And if you could, I think you should try and help someone named Jenny.

Now she tagged this Jenny person on this Twitter comment and I never heard of Jenny or the case she was advocating for, but it became very clear very quickly. Her twin sister, Jody Lacornu, had been murdered.

And Jenny has spent the last 23 years not only trying to cope with her grief, but also trying to learn the truth about what really happened that night to her identical twin.

So a few months ago, I reached out to Jenny like this person on Twitter suggested and I don't want to bother her, but basically I let her know like, listen, I'm here if you want help.

And Jenny responded almost right away and within a few days, her and I had set up a time to talk about her sister's case and right, like right away, I felt like I had known Jenny forever.

And my heart just broke as she told me how over the years her sister's case has gone cold and she's tried to get answers. She's been roadblocked by police and politicians.

And sometimes even questioned by her own family about why she can't let this go. She's this wonderful kind and impassioned person and I could still hear the grief and her voice when she talked about losing her twin sister like it was yesterday because for her, it's that vivid.

It's as if that night over 23 years ago is happening right now still and here is what happened on that night. It was March 1st, 1996 and Jody Lacorni was finishing her shift at the Eastern Savings Bank in Hunt Valley, Maryland, which is in Baltimore County.

Now she was working part time there as a receptionist to help herself go through school at Townsend State University. She was actually studying geriatrics and like a lot of 23 year olds, Jody wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do with that degree, but like the girl was young, she had plenty of time to finish her senior year to figure out what was next.

Now during this time of her life, Jody lived in an apartment with her boyfriend, Steve. And this is how Jenny described Steve and his relationship with her sister.

But she met her boyfriend who she was with the night that she died, she met him in a bar and she was untruthful about her age. She was a lot older than her and they both had her drinking problem.

I mean, he was a nice guy, but he definitely, that was a lot of their relationship with the drinking.

Okay, so that doesn't sound like a super healthy relationship for Jody to be in. Yeah, I mean, probably not since a lot of it centered around their drinking problems.

And you know, they both suffered from the problem and it was probably making things worse.

Yeah, I'm sure that kind of fed into each other. Yeah, enabling each other.

Now, just the day before on April 30th, Jody and Steve had had a fight and they've gone to bed mad at one another.

And Brit, I don't know if you've ever gone to bed mad. I have. I tend to, yeah, I tend to wake up mad.

So Jody was still mad when she left for work that morning and that's why when she got off work, she didn't want to go home and just like continue the fight.

So instead, Jody decides to go meet her friends at her favorite bar, which is the Mount Washington tavern.

Now, this was a great way to avoid Steve for a couple more hours, but it was only going to make the fight worse because their whole fight revolved around her going out.

He didn't want her to because he didn't want her drinking or no. So actually, even though she had been to rehab in the past and it was a well known issue among her friends and family,
