Summary

On the late afternoon of December 3, 1998, Mark Jensen called 911 from his Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin home to report that his wife, 40-year-old Julie Jensen, was found dead in bed. When the police arrived, Mark suggested Julie might have died from an allergic reaction to new medication, he said she had been sick for a few days before her death. However, as the police looked around, they grew suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Julie’s death. They called in the medical examiner’s office and the district attorney’s office, both of which agreed that something was off. An investigation was opened, and it was soon discovered that for weeks before her death, Julie was deeply concerned that Mark, her husband of 14 years, was going to murder her.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly weekly I'm Stephanie Harlow and I'm Derek

0:16.1

Levasseer so we're jumping into the third and final part of the Julie

0:19.5

Jensen case which has been a roller coaster, okay, from the nude pictures of men being left around the house

0:27.8

to the nude pictures of men being found on Mark Jensen's computer and the different folders for the different sizes of

0:35.2

male members. It's just been a crazy ride. An unexpected turn of events.

0:40.9

So we're going to give a quick little update and talk about kind of where we are up to this point.

0:47.8

After 40-year-old Julie Jensen was found dead in her bed on December 3rd, 1998, a medical examiner was unable initially to determine her cause of death.

0:56.2

But over the next three years, authorities conducted a thorough investigation and eventually concluded

1:01.6

that Julie's husband, Mark, had murdered her using ethylene glyco poisoning, antifreeze.

This conclusion matched Julie's concerns that Mark was going to poison her,

1:12.8

1:24.2

letter and voicemails that Julie had left for her friend, Officer Kossman expressing

1:28.9

her fear of Mark killing her and they wanted those barred from the trial.

1:33.2

After years of legal proceedings, the court finally ruled that Julie's letter and

1:36.8

voicemails could be used as evidence, which meant that Julie would be

1:40.1

testifying at her own murder trial and as we had discussed last episode it kind of

1:44.8

seems like she was the first case where that was allowed and I think it was the right call

1:50.1

obviously we talked a little bit last episode about how laws like that are sort of

1:54.9

taking away the voice of the victim yet again, even though they've already been silenced.
