Finding Kelley’s Body
Last week on Jan. 18, the search team finally found Kelley’s dead body buried in a Grand Prairie field. The field was only a few kilometers from the Collin Country Sheriff’s Office.
Hoped For The Best
Sheriff Jim Skinner gave a speech saying they hoped to find Kelley alive but are pleased to move towards closing the case.
Catfished And Heartbroken
Kelley and Ferguson reportedly dated for more than six months since the summer of 2022. They met online when the latter used a pseudonym Kevin Brown until she discovered his secret – he wasn’t who he portrayed himself to be.
The First Suspect
Police investigators visited Ferguson’s workplace since he was the first suspect. He admitted what he could – the affair – and denied what he couldn’t admit – seeing Kelley beyond Jan. 10, the day before she went missing.
Three Counts Against Ferguson
The jail records show that the police booked Ferguson for kidnapping, murder, and arson, as the suspected cause of death is burning. The police discovered her car burned beyond recognition the day after her family and friends reported her missing.
Ferguson’s Confession
Ferguson said Kelley drove him to work but never returned for their lunch date. However, investigators discovered the suspect was within the victim’s vicinity.
TikTokers Pay Tribute
TikTokers pay tribute to the late content creator.
In Jail Without A Lawyer
According to The New York Post , Ferguson has been in jail since last Thursday with no attorney on record.
Evidence Keeps Piling
Moreso, the police investigators found Ferguson’s car near Kelley’s home with incriminating evidence – gloves, duct tape, and a blanket. His wife reported the car stolen before the discovery, but the evidence piled against Ferguson.
Police Arrest Ferguson
The police arrested Ferguson three days after Kelley went missing and almost four days before they found her body.
Investigators Find Motive
As for motive, the police found text message exchanges between the victim and the suspect where Kelley threatened to expose his lies to his wife.
The Dump Site Was Close To His House
The police added that the Grand Prairie field where the killer buried Kelley’s body is less than a mile from Ferguson’s home.
Further Development Coming Soon
With all the evidence stacked against Ferguson, it seems like a slam dunk case.
