Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell stories of real crimes with real victims,

whose cases are so shocking that many are left wondering, how is this even real?

I use my experiences in law enforcement, corrections, and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex cases of evil acts.

Some so evil, many feel they are unspeakable.

Warning, unspeakable is intended for mature audiences.

If you are easily offended, then I'm not your girl. Listening discretion is advised. Hey y'all. Kelly Jennings in the house. Guess what? Guess what? I am recording this Thanksgiving week. I hope you are excited to eat because I am. I'm ready to gobble to like freaking wobble. Do you hear me? I'm going to eat all the food. But until then, I'm coming to you right now to talk to you

about more crime and more violence that's affecting people in our society. And I will be

danged if I did not wrap up the last episode about some school violence

and I was going to move on and I have a million things I want to talk to y'all about in all

these different episodes, especially Casey Anthony, y'all, I got something for that ass. I'm just

not ready yet to share it. Then popping up on the news right there in front of me was the shooting of the Virginia students, the University of Virginia boys that were coming back from their field trip. And I thought, you know, well, when the shoe fits, let's wear it. And we're talking about crime in schools. Well, let's move it on up to college. So we started with some high schools. I wanted to bring up a little bit about this shooting because it's fitting right in with

the methodology of how these people are coming in and they're killing other people. So the facts of

the case so far, I'm going to jump right in. This is at the University of Virginia. And so we do know

the shooter. His name was Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. He's a 22-year-old black male. And he was a University of Virginia student. Now, I like to stop real quick and tell you this. I tell this to my students when I'm teaching. I'm going to tell it to all my listeners who are listening. When we describe somebody, or when I describe somebody, it doesn't matter if they're the shooter, if they're a victim, if they are somebody on the street. I like to give a full-rounded description of them. And so I don't want you to read too much into that. When I give age, it's just so you understand the scope of age that we're looking at. When I tell you black, white, Mexican, Hispanic, whatever, it's just so that you understand who we're working with. Because I do later on, plan on giving you a little bit of data that I pulled to talk about our commonalities

in victims as well as offenders. So that said, again, Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr., 22-year-old

black male from the University of Virginia, and he was a student. So it says he was a former

member of the school's football team, and that kind of stood out to me because there's something

that I know from learning about criminology for many, many years and crime. And there's three

main reasons, well, probably four. But in this case, there's just a few main reasons of why

someone would kill somebody. We got robbery, we got vengeance, jealousy, or sex. And I don't't know about you but this is screaming jealousy and

vengeance to me I have nothing to base that on other than a gut feeling so if I'm wrong I'm

wrong but I'm just going to go out on the limb right now and we don't know yet what the cause was
