When a Texas woman returns to her small hometown to start over, she disappears and is later found murdered floating in a river.

Rumors of a secret pregnancy surround a dark tale of romance gone sour in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

I'm your host, Leah, crime analyst by day, and true crime storyteller by night.

And as always, I'm your co-host, Scott. This is the enhanced edition of our episode on the

Homicide of Jennifer Harris. The original edition was recorded in early 2020, and we've re-recorded it

in 2023 in order to significantly improve its audio quality.

Since we first launched Last Scene Alive, we've come incredibly far when it comes to the recording and editing equipment and methods we use.

We wanted to honor Jennifer with the production quality her story deserves, hence this re-recording.

And this is something we're doing for all of our earliest episodes.

It's going to take months, so if you've just discovered this podcast at the time of this

re-recording in the summer of 2023, this endeavor is still underway.

So, if you'd prefer to wait to listen to the optimized versions of our earliest episodes,

you might want to start with our latest episode and work your way backward through our

catalog.

And now, let's get into Jennifer's story.

Bonham is a small town in northeast Texas, so far north that it's only a 20-minute drive

over the state border into Oklahoma. In terms of

Texan time and distance, 20 minutes is nothing, the blink of an eye. Absolutely nothing. And when it

came to time spent in Bonham, Texas, Jennifer had it in spades. Her life had begun there and would end

there, putting a final stop to the efforts to move on that had characterized her adult life.

It was a long-term relationship that anchored Jennifer to Bonham and a desire to grow that first drew her away.
