ON 09/14/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 2015 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 14680 SE 86 TERRACE, IN

REFERENCE TO CONDUCTING A WELL-BEING CHECK. REPORTEE NIKKI JONES HAD CALLED
REQUESTING LAW ENFORCEMENT CHECK ON HER DAUGHTER, CASEI JONES. SHE WAS
SAID TO BE AT THE RESIDENCE WITH HER HUSBAND, MICHAEL JONES AND MULTIPLE
CHILDREN.
UPON ARRIVAL, I FOUND THE RESIDENCE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTIED OUT. THERE WAS NO
FURNITURE OR PERSONAL ITEMS IN THE RESIDENCE. IT ALSO APPEARED IT HAD
RECENTLY BEEN CLEANED. I CONDUCTED NUMEROUS COMPUTER QUERIES FOR CASEI
JONES AND MICHAEL JONES, ONLY LOCATING THE ADDRESS OF 2018 VINE STREET,
LEESBURG, FOR BOTH SUBJECTS.
I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE REPORTING PERSON, NIKKI JONES. NIKKI JONES
ADVISED SHE IS THE MOTHER TO CASEI JONES AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT HER WELFARE,
DUE TO SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE TRANSPIRED OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS
. NIKKI JONES ADVISED APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS AGO, CASEI JONES SENT HER A TEXT
MESSAGE REQUESTING SHE WATCH HER TWO CHILDREN FOR A FEW DAYS. NIKKI JONES
AGREED AS SHE WATCHES THE CHILDREN REGULARLY. SOON AFTER, MICHAEL JONES
BROUGHT MERCALLI JONES (DATE OF BIRTH 12/9/16) AND AIYANA JONES (DATE OF BIRTH
8/10/18) TO HER RESIDENCE IN DELAND, FLORIDA. AFTER A FEW DAYS, SHE RECEIVED
ANOTHER TEXT FROM CASEI JONES, ASKING HER TO KEEP THE TWO CHILDREN FOR A FEW
MORE DAYS BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK. SHE RECEIVED THE SAME TYPE OF MESSAGE FROM
CASEI JONES ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE SHE HAD THE CHILDREN. NIKKI JONES ENDED
UP KEEPING MERCALLI JONES AND AIYANA JONES FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS
BEFORE MICHAEL JONES CAME TO PICK THEM UP BY HIMSELF.
WHILE NIKKI JONES HAD THE TWO CHILDREN, SHE BECAME INCREASINGLY CONCERNED
FOR THE WELL-BEING OF CASEI JONES, BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT-OF-
CHARACTER FOR HER TO NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH HER DAUGHTERS. THE UNUSUAL
BEHAVIOR FROM CASEI JONES CONTINUED AND NIKKI JONES DID NOT HAVE ANY VOICE OR
VISUAL CONTACT WITH CASEI JONES FOR THE DURATION OF THE TIME SHE HAD MERCALLI
JONES AND AIYANA JONES.
WHEN MICHAEL JONES WAS COMING TO GET THE CHILDREN, NIKKI JONES ASKED FOR
CASEI JONES TO COME WITH HIM, BECAUSE SHE HAD NOT HEARD FROM HER OR SEEN HER
DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS. NIKKI JONES WAS CONCERNED AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE SHE

1909140533
09/14/2019 20:11:00
Offense Description
45 HOMICIDE
USUALLY SPOKE WITH CASEI JONES ALMOST EVERY DAY, WHETHER IT BE BY TEXT
MESSAGE, PHONE CALL, OR VIDEO CHAT. NIKKI JONES ADVISED SHE WAS EXTREMELY
CLOSE WITH CASEI JONES AND MAINTAINED CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HER.
NIKKI JONES FURTHER REPORTED CASEI JONES HAS HER TWO OTHER CHILDREN,
CAMERON BOWERS (DATE OF BIRTH 09/12/09) AND PRESTON BOWERS (DATE OF BIRTH
08/22/14), WITH HER. THEIR BIOLOGICAL FATHER SHARES CUSTODY, BUT THE TWO HAVE
BEEN WITH CASEI JONES FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. NIKKI JONES HAS NOT HEARD FROM
OR SEEN THOSE TWO CHILDREN EITHER.
DURING THE COURSE OF THE LAST FOUR WEEKS, NIKKI JONES ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT
CASEI JONES BY MULTIPLE TEXT MESSAGES AND PHONE CALLS, BUT THE PHONE WENT
STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL AND SHE NEVER RECEIVED ANY TEXT MESSAGES BACK. ON
9/14/19, SHE DECIDED TO CALL THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO REQUEST A
WELL-BEING CHECK.
I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE NEIGHBOR, JOHNNY MURPHY, AT 14690 SE 86 TERRACE.
HE ADVISED HE DID NOT KNOW CASEI JONES OR MICHAEL JONES WELL, HE ONLY SAW
THEM OCCASIONALLY. JOHNNY MURPHY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY SPECIFIC DATES, BUT
ADVISED APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS PRIOR, HE WAS APPROACHED BY THE PROPERTY
MANAGER PATRICK (PHONE NUMBER 352-299-3894), WHO ASKED JOHNNY MURPHY TO WALK
WITH HIM THROUGH THE RESIDENCE AT 14680 SE 86 TERRACE, BECAUSE OF AN ODD
SMELL.
JOHNNY MURPHY ADVISED HE WALKED THROUGH THE RESIDENCE WITH PATRICK AND
OBSERVED THE RESIDENCE WAS STILL FULL OF FURNITURE, PERSONAL ITEMS, AND
PHOTOGRAPHS. JOHNNY MURPHY ADVISED IT DID NOT APPEAR ANYTHING HAD BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE RESIDENCE, BUT THERE WAS AN “AWFUL” SMELL. JOHNNY MURPHY
DESCRIBED THE SMELL AS “SOMETHING DEAD.” JOHNNY MURPHY THEN EXITED THE
RESIDENCE AND DID NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER INVOLVEMENT WITH THE RESIDENCE. THE
NEXT DAY, JOHNNY MURPHY ADVISED HE SAW THE COUPLE’S WHITE CHRYSLER PACIFICA
MINIVAN IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE MINIVAN LEFT THAT AFTERNOON AND IT HAS NOT
RETURNED TO THE LOCATION. JOHNNY MURPHY DID ADVISE HE BELIEVES HE SAW THE
VEHICLE LEAVING THE “LITTLE LAKE WEIR SUBDIVISION” ONE TIME IN THE LAST WEEK. THE
VEHICLE ALSO HAD THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY BROKEN OUT.
I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE LANDLORD/OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, JOSEPH

PETROLINO BY PHONE. JOSEPH PETROLINO ADVISED HE LIVES IN BOCA RATON, FLORIDA
AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE LOCATION. HE ADVISED SOMETIME

1909140533
09/14/2019 20:11:00
Offense Description
45 HOMICIDE
AROUND 08/23/19, HE INITIATED THE EVICTION PROCESS ON MICHAEL JONES AND CASEI
JONES. HE MADE CONTACT WITH CASEI JONES AND TOLD HER THE PROCESS HAD BEEN
STARTED. CASEI JONES ADVISED HIM SHE NO LONGER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH
MICHAEL JONES AND TO CONTACT HIM FOR ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. JOSEPH
PETROLINO NOTIFIED MICHAEL JONES OF THE EVICTION AND ON 08/23/19, HE RECEIVED A
TEXT MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL JONES ADVISING HE WAS LEAVING THE RESIDENCE AND HE
WOULD LEAVE THE KEY ON THE COUNTER. JOSEPH PETROLINO ATTEMPTED NUMEROUS
TIMES TO CONTACT MICHAEL JONES TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM, BUT WAS
UNABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM. JOSEPH PETROLINO WOULD NOT EXPLICITLY STATE
HE HAD THE RESIDENCE CLEARED OF ALL OF THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, BUT ELUDED HE
HAD IT THROWN AWAY. HE ALSO ADVISED AFTER MICHAEL JONES AND CASEI JONES HAD
VACATED THE PROPERTY, ONE OF HIS PROPERTY MANAGERS CLEANED THE RESIDENCE
AND “MADE SOME REPAIRS.”
JOSEPH PETROLINO ADVISED IF WE NEEDED TO GO INTO THE RESIDENCE, THE LOCK BOX
CODE WAS “ AND THE KEY SHOULD BE IN THE LOCK BOX.
DURING THE TIME ON SCENE, I CANVASSED THE EXTERIOR OF THE RESIDENCE, LOOKING
THROUGH ALL OF THE WINDOWS OF THE RESIDENCE. I OBSERVED THE ENTIRE RESIDENCE
WAS EMPTY. IN THE EAST BEDROOM, THERE WAS A SMALL WHITE FAN RUNNING AND THE
AIR CONDITIONER IN THE LIVING ROOM WAS ALSO ON. IN THE WEST BEDROOM, I
OBSERVED A SMALL RED STAIN ON THE DARK LAMINATE FLOORING, I WAS UNABLE TO
DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THE DISCOLORATION WAS, BUT IT APPEARED DARK RED IN
COLOR.
SERGEANT M. MOORE, ID 5224, RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND I MADE CONTACT WITH
JOSEPH PETROLINO BY PHONE. I CONFIRMED HIS IDENTITY BY NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, AND
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WHILE ON THE PHONE. I ADVISED JOSEPH PETROLINO I WOULD
KEEP HIM ON THE PHONE WHILE WE ENTERED THE RESIDENCE WITH HIS PERMISSION. I
CONFIRMED HE COULD REVOKE OUR CONSENT TO BE IN THE RESIDENCE, AT ANY POINT IN
TIME, AND NARRATED TO HIM AS WE ENTERED THE FRONT, SOUTH DOOR.
IMMEDIATELY AS SERGEANT M. MOORE OPENED THE DOOR, I OBSERVED WHAT I KNOW

FROM MY EXPERIENCE TO BE THE ODOR OF DECOMPOSITION OF A DECEASED ANIMAL OR
HUMAN BEING COMING FROM THE RESIDENCE. I THEN NOTICED TWO GALLON CONTAINERS
OF CLEANER AND BLEACH NEXT TO A MOP BUCKET AT THE DOOR. THE RESIDENCE WAS
COMPLETELY CLEAR OF ANY FURNITURE, EXCEPT FOR THE KITCHEN APPLIANCES. AS I
WALKED THROUGH THE RESIDENCE, I DETECTED THE ODOR OF DECOMPOSITION MIXED
WITH THE ODOR OF CLEANING SUPPLIES THROUGHOUT THE HOME. I ASKED JOSEPH

1909140533
09/14/2019 20:11:00
Offense Description
45 HOMICIDE
PETROLINO IF HE HAD PAID FOR A COMPANY TO CLEAN THE RESIDENCE OR IF ONE OF HIS
MEN HAD DONE THE CLEANING. JOSEPH PETROLINO AT FIRST REFUSED TO ANSWER, BUT
EVENTUALLY ADVISED ONE OF HIS LOCAL PROPERTY MANAGERS HAD MOPPED THE
FLOORS AND CLEANED. HE ALSO KNEW THE FAN AND AIR CONDITIONER WAS RUNNING
BECAUSE THE PROPERTY MANAGER ADVISED IT SMELLED LIKE A “DEAD BODY.”
IN THE EAST BEDROOM, IT APPEARED NEW LAMINATE FLOOR AND BASEBOARDS HAD BEEN
INSTALLED. THIS WAS EVIDENCED BY A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN COLOR OF THE FLOORING
WITH THE ADJACENT LIVING ROOM AND NAIL HOLES STILL PRESENT IN THE BASEBOARDS. I
ASKED JOSEPH PETROLINO IF HE COULD TELL ME WHAT REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE, AT
WHICH TIME HE ADVISED HE WAS REVOKING HIS CONSENT FOR US TO BE IN THE
RESIDENCE. SERGEANT MOORE AND I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FRONT, SOUTH DOOR AND
LOCKED IT AS WE EXITED. THE KEY WAS PLACED BACK IN THE LOCK BOX AND THE LOCK
BOX SECURED.
THE MAJOR CRIMES UNIT WAS NOTIFIED AND DETECTIVE B. BARTLETT, ID 3977,
RESPONDED TO THE SCENE. I BRIEFED DETECTIVE BARTLETT ON THE PHONE AS HE
RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION.
THROUGH COMPUTER QUERY, I DISCOVERED CASEI JONES HAD A 2017 WHITE CHRYSLER
PACIFICA REGISTERED TO HER. THE VEHICLE HAS FLORIDA TAG 91SEJ ASSIGNED TO IT
AND THE BACK WINDOW IS BUSTED OUT.
DURING THE SHIFT, SARAH GILBERT, THE OLDER SISTER TO CASEI JONES CALLED IN
LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION. I MADE CONTACT WITH HER BY PHONE. SARAH
GILBERT ADVISED SHE SPEAKS WITH CASEI JONES AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS.
SARAH GILBERT ADVISED SHE HAS NOT HEARD FROM CASEI JONES SINCE 08/26/19, WHEN
CASEI JONES MADE A FACEBOOK POST ABOUT “LOSING EVERYTHING.” SARAH GILBERT
ADVISED SHE HAD ADDED CONCERN, BECAUSE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, CASEI JONES
AND MICHAEL JONES WERE AT JODI GILBERT’S RESIDENCE IN ELKHART, INDIANA AND “GOT
DRUNK.” A SKIRMISH ENSUED WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS CALLED TO THE LOCATION
WHEN MICHAEL JONES ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE LOCATION WITH THE JUVENILES IN THE
VEHICLE WHILE HE WAS INTOXICATED. SARAH GILBERT WAS NOT SURE WHAT THE END
RESULT WAS, BUT SHE KNOWS MICHAEL AND CASEI JONES LEFT THE RESIDENCE THE NEXT
MORNING BEFORE ANYONE ELSE WOKE UP.
SARAH GILBERT WENT ON TO ADVISE SHE FOUND IT EXTREMELY ODD CASEI JONES WAS
NOT POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SHE ADVISED CASEI JONES’S OLDEST SON’S BIRTHDAY
AND SARAH GILRBERT’S BIRTHDAY HAD GONE BY AND THERE HAD BEEN NO MENTION OF

1909140533

EITHER. SARAH GILBERT ADVISED CASEI JONES ALWAYS POSTS SOMETHING ABOUT
BIRTHDAYS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
LATER IN THE SHIFT, RICHARD BOWERS ALSO CALLED IN, ADVISING HE WAS THE EX-
HUSBAND OF CASEI JONES AND WANTED MORE INFORMATION. I MADE CONTACT WITH HIM
BY PHONE, AT WHICH TIME HE REPORTED HE WAS CURRENTLY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
ON VACATION, BUT HAD SEEN A FACEBOOK POST REQUESTING ANYONE WITH
INFORMATION ON CASEI JONES TO CALL THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. RICHARD
BOWERS ADVISED HE WOULD BE RETURNING ON SUNDAY (09/22/19).
RICHARD BOWERS ADVISED HE IS THE FATHER TO CAMERON AND PRESTON BOWERS. HE

AND CASEI JONES HAVE SHARED CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN; SHE CURRENTLY HAS THE
TWO BOYS WITH HER. RICHARD BOWERS ADVISED HE DOES NO KEEP CONSTANT CONTACT
WITH CASEI JONES, BUT THEY COMMUNICATE VIA PHONE APP, DUE TO CHILD CUSTODY
AGREEMENTS. HE HAS NOT HEARD FROM CASEI JONES SINCE 08/22/19. HE ADVISED BOTH
PRESTON AND CAMERON BOWERS’S BIRTHDAYS HAVE PASSED AND HE HAS NOT HEARD
FROM THEM. HE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CALL TO SPEAK WITH THEM, BUT HAS
NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT. RICHARD BOWERS ALSO FOUND IT ODD THAT CASEI
JONES HAS NOT MADE ANY SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS SINCE THE END OF AUGUST, BECAUSE
SHE NORMALLY MAKES A POST EVERY DAY OR TWO. RICHARD BOWERS REPORTED IF THE
TWO HAD GONE ANYWHERE TOGETHER, IT WAS MOST LIKELY TO MICHAEL JONES’S
MOTHER’S HOUSE IN VERMONT OR ANOTHER UNKNOWN RELATIVE’S RESIDENCE IN
INDIANA. HE COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY PHYSICAL ADDRESSES OR POSSIBLE CITIES.
DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE SUBJECTS, I

REQUEST THE JUVENILES AND CASEI JONES BE ENTERED INTO FCIC/NCIC AS
MISSING/ENDANGERED AND A “BE ON THE LOOKOUT” ISSUED FOR THE VEHICLE.
AXON BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE WILL BE UPLOADED TO EVIDENCE.COM WHEN

DOCKED.

RICHARD BOWERS ADVISED THAT HE HAD CAMERON AND PRESTON BOWERS THE LAST
FEW WEEKS OF JULY 2019 AND FIRST FEW WEEKS OF AUGUST 2019. DURING THAT TIME,
CAMERON BOWERS MADE NUMEROUS STATEMENTS TO HIM THAT MICHAEL JONES WAS
ABUSIVE TOWARDS THE CHILDREN IN THE HOME AND CASEI JONES. CAMERON BOWERS
INDICATED MICHAEL AND CASEI JONES PHYSICALLY FOUGHT, ALMOST NIGHTLY. THE
FIGHTS WERE SAID TO BE VIOLENT AND WOULD GO ON FOR HOURS. CAMERON BOWERS
ALSO ADVISED THAT MICHAEL JONES WOULD PHYSICALLY ABUSE ALL OF THE CHILDREN IN
THE HOME, HITTING THEM WITH CLOTHES HANGERS OR ANYTHING ELSE HE COULD FIND
WHEN HE BECAME ANGRY.
RICHARD BOWERS ALSO WISHED TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INSIGHT TO THE SITUATION; HE

FELT HE KNEW THE INVOLVED PARTIES WELL BECAUSE HE SPENT MANY YEARS IN THE
FAMILY PRIOR TO THE DIVORCE. RICHARD BOWERS REPORTED THAT HE FOUND NIKKI
JONES, CASEI JONES, MICHAEL JONES, AND SARAH JONES TO BE UNTRUTHFUL ON
NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HE DESCRIBED THEIR UNTRUTHFULNESS AS A DAILY HABIT IN
WHICH THEY WOULD MAKE UP STORIES AND SITUATIONS TO SHARE WITH THE FAMILY AND
FRIENDS FOR NO REASON.
RICHARD BOWERS ALSO ADVISED THAT A FEW YEARS AGO A WARRANT WAS ISSUED FOR
MICHAEL JONES, STEMMING FROM AN INCIDENT IN ORANGE COUNTY, WHERE HE
BURGLARIZED HIS PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT (MOUNT DORA VETERINARY HOSPITAL). WHILE
THE ACTIVE WARRANT WAS OUT, CASEI JONES RENTED A STORAGE SHED AND HARBORED
MICHAEL JONES. CASEI JONES IS SAID TO BE EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE OF MICHAEL JONES

OVER THE COURSE OF THE AFFAIR, MICHAEL JONES TOLD WILLIAM DELAPORTE AND HIS
WIFE A MULTITUDE OF FABRICATED STORIES, WHICH THEY LATER DISCOVERED AND
TERMINATED HIS EMPLOYMENT AND STAY AT THEIR HOME.
MICHAEL JONES LEFT THE RESIDENCE AFTER BEING TERMINATED AND UNLAWFULLY

MISSING PERSONS CASE INVOLVING SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. LIEUTENANT MCQUAIG
ADVISED THAT SERGEANT MOORE AND DEPUTY C. KING, ID 6207, WERE BOTH ON SCENE
AND COULD PROVIDE FURTHER ABOUT THE FACTS OF THE CASE. I NEXT MADE PHONE
CONTACT WITH DEPUTY KING, WHO PROVIDED ME A DETAILED SYNOPSIS OF THE FACTS IN
THE CASE, ALONG WITH THE INCIDENT LOCATION ADDRESS OF 14680 SE 86TH TERRACE,
SUMMERFIELD, FLORIDA.
UPON MY ARRIVAL AT 2330 HOURS, I MET WITH DEPUTY KING, SERGEANT MOORE, AND

LIEUTENANT MCQUAIG. I WAS SHOWN THE INCIDENT LOCATION, WHICH WAS A SINGLE-WIDE
MOBILE HOME SITUATED ON A SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY. THE RESIDENCE WAS BEING
HELD AS A POSSIBLE CRIME SCENE DUE TO THE INFORMATION OBTAINED DURING THE
INITIAL INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY DEPUTY KING. THE RESIDENCE'S FRONT DOOR
FACED SOUTH AND HAD A SMALL WOODEN PORCH WITH WOODEN STEPS ATTACHED. THE
RESIDENCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 FEET FROM THE NEAREST NEIGHBOR TO THE
SOUTH AND APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 FEET FROM THE NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH. THE
MOBILE HOME EXTENDED EAST TO WEST ON THE PROPERTY AND THE EXTERIOR
APPEARED TO BE IN ORDER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE YARD BEING OVER GROWN.
WHILE STANDING NEAR THE EAST END OF THE MOBILE HOME IN THE ROADWAY/ DRIVEWAY
A FAINT ODOR WAS DETECTED, WHICH I RECOGNIZED THROUGH MY TWELVE YEARS OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE AS DECOMPOSITION OF HUMAN REMAINS. I WAS SHOWN
THROUGH THE WINDOW AREAS IN THE WEST BEDROOM ON THE FLOOR, WHICH THERE
APPEARED TO BE BLOOD STAINS ON THE FLOOR.
BASED ON THE SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES PROVIDED BY THE REPORTEE NIKKI JONES

TO DEPUTY KING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OBSERVATIONS MADE BY DEPUTY KING AND
SERGEANT MOORE DURING A CONSENSUAL SEARCH OF THE MOBILE HOME, I ASKED
DEPUTY KING TO ISSUE AN MISSING ENDANGERED BOLO FOR CASEI JONES AND HER FOUR
CHILDREN IN THEIR VAN.
AFTER A BRIEF TIME AT THE SCENE, LIEUTENANT MCQUAIG AND I RESPONDED BACK TO
THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO FURTHER RESEARCH THE FAMILY. THOUGH
ELECTRONIC DATA SEARCHES, I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN NUMEROUS PHONE NUMBERS FOR
THE FAMILY OF MICHAEL JONES. I ATTEMPTED PHONE CONTACT WITH SEVERAL PERSONS
ASSOCIATED WITH MICHAEL JONES, BUT MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS IN LOCATING HIM
OR OBTAINING ANY FURTHER LEADS.
A NOTABLE CONTACT ATTEMPT THAT I MADE WAS WITH SARAH JONES, LATER IDENTIFIED
AS THE EX-WIFE/ MOTHER OF MICHAEL JONES’S CHILDREN, AT THE PHONE NUMBER 802-
689-0266. I DID NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER, BUT I DID LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR HER TO CALL
ME BACK.
AN ADDRESS OF 2018 VINE STREET, LEESBURG WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH RECORDS. I

REQUESTED A TELETYPE BE SENT TO THE LEESBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE IT
CHECKED FOR THE FAMILY. I LATER RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM OFFICER J. JIMENEZ, ID
T45, WHO ADVISED HE RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AT THE

LOCATION. OFFICER JIMENEZ ADVISED HE MADE CONTACT WITH THE CURRENT RESIDENTS,
WHO ADVISED THEY MOVED IN APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS PRIOR AND DO NOT KNOW
THE MISSING FAMILY.
BASED ON THE SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE

JONES FAMILY AND THE SUSPICIOUS EVIDENCE OBSERVED INSIDE THE JONES RESIDENCE
BY DEPUTY KING AND SERGEANT MOORE, IT WAS DETERMINED TO DRAFT A SEARCH
WARRANT FOR THE RESIDENCE.
THE CONCLUDED MY INVESTIGATION FOR THE LATE EVENING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2019 INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SEPTEMBER 15, 2019. I CONTINUED MY INVESTIGATION
THE FOLLOWING MORNING WHICH WILL BE DOCUMENTED IN ANOTHER FOLLOW-UP.

ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2019, WHILE ASSIGNED TO THE MAJOR CRIMES ROBBERY/HOMICIDE

UNIT, I WAS ASKED TO ASSIST DETECTIVE BARTLETT, ID 3977, WITH FOLLOWING UP WITH
INDIVIDUALS IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE.
I MADE TELEPHONE CONTACT WITH ERIC HUNTER, WHO ALLEGEDLY HAD A PACKAGE
DELIVERED TO HIS RESIDENCE WHEN IT WAS INTENDED FOR THE DEFENDANT IN THIS
CASE. ERIC HUNTER ADVISED ON AUGUST 22, 2019, HE RECEIVED THE PACKAGE IN THE

MAIL WHICH HAD HIS ADDRESS (14680 SE 86TH COURT, SUMMERFIELD, FLORIDA) ON THE
SHIPPING LABEL. ERIC HUNTER ADVISED IT WAS NOT HIS PACKAGE THOUGH. IT WAS A
LARGER PACKAGE THAT ERIC HUNTER COULD SEE MULTIPLE DEWALT POWER TOOLS
INSIDE. HE WAS NOT SURE WHAT SPECIFIC TOOLS WERE INSIDE THOUGH.
ERIC HUNTER ADVISED THE DEFENDANT’S ADDRESS (14680 SE 86TH TERRACE,

SUMMERFIELD, FLORIDA) WAS THE EXACT SAME AS HIS EXCEPT FOR THE STREET BEING
DIFFERENT.
THE DEFENDANT CAME OVER TO ERIC HUNTER’S RESIDENCE ASKING IF A PACKAGE HAD
BEEN DELIVERED INCORRECTLY TO THE RESIDENCE. ERIC HUNTER GAVE HIM THE
PACKAGE HE HAD RECEIVED AND OFFERED TO HELP HIM LOAD IT IN HIS (THE
DEFENDANT’S) WHITE VEHICLE WITH A BUSTED BACK WINDOW THAT HE WAS DRIVING. THE
DEFENDANT DID NOT WANT HELP AND CARRIED THE LARGER BOX ON HIS OWN.
ERIC HUNTER FOUND THIS INCIDENT TO BE STRANGE AFTER HEARING ABOUT THIS CASE
ON THE NEWS AND WANTED TO REPORT IT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
ERIC HUNTER HAD NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME.
I THEN RESPONDED TO 17821 SE 24TH STREET, SILVER SPRINGS, FLORIDA AND MADE
CONTACT WITH APRIL SMITH. I CONDUCTED AN AUDIO RECORDED INTERVIEW WITH HER
AND HER HUSBAND, JASON SMITH, WHO WAS ALSO PRESENT.
APRIL SMITH ADVISED ON AUGUST 17, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 1254 HOURS, SHE
RESPONDED TO 14680 SE 86TH COURT, SUMMERFIELD, FLORIDA AND BOUGHT TWO TWIN
MATTRESSES WITH BED FRAMES FROM THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT HAD POSTED
THEM FOR SALE ON FACEBOOK MARKET PLACE AND APRIL SMITH AND HER HUSBAND
AGREED TO BUY THEM. APRIL SMITH WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE HER GPS DATA IN ORDER TO
REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE AND TIME SHE WAS AT THE DEFENDANT’S RESIDENCE. SHE
SHOWED ME HER CELL PHONE, AND ON THE SCREEN, SHE HAD PULLED UP FROM HER
GOOGLE LOCATION HISTORY, WHICH HAD THE ABOVE ADDRESS, DATE, AND TIME ON IT.
ORIGINALLY, THE DEFENDANT WAS GOING TO DROP OFF THE MATTRESSES, BUT THEN
ADVISED HE HAD HIS KIDS WITH HIM AND COULD NOT FIT THEM AND THE MATTRESSES IN
HIS VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS WHEN APRIL SMITH AND HER HUSBAND DROVE TO
THE INCIDENT LOCATION TO PICK THE ITEMS UP.
WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE DEFENDANT’S RESIDENCE, HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS

“MICHAEL” AND LOADED THE MATTRESSES FROM INSIDE HIS WHITE VAN ONTO APRIL

SMITH’S TRAILER. THE DEFENDANT WAS THE ONLY PERSON APRIL SMITH SAW AT THE
LOCATION AND SHE CONFIRMED SHE DID NOT GO INSIDE THE DEFENDANT’S RESIDENCE OR
VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED HIS CHILDREN HAD OUTGROWN THE BEDS AND THAT
WAS WHY HE WAS SELLING THEM. APRIL SMITH FOUND THE ENCOUNTER STRANGE
BECAUSE THE DEFENDANT DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO HELP HIM LOAD THE ITEMS, AND HE
QUICKLY SLUNG THE MATTRESSES AND BED FRAMES ONTO HER TRAILER FROM THE WHITE
VAN. APRIL SMITH AND HER HUSBAND NOTED THAT THERE WAS A FUNKY/FOUL SMELL THAT
APPEARED TO BE EMITTING FROM THE MATTRESSES. THEY LATER DETERMINED THE SMELL
WAS COMING FROM THE MATTRESSES AND THOUGHT IT COULD BE RELATED TO DEAD
“RATS.” SHE ADVISED THE SMELL WAS REALLY BAD WHEN THEY FIRST GOT THEM AND SHE
HAD BEEN SPRAYING THEM DOWN WITH A BLEACH, WATER, AND BAKING SODA MIXTURE ON
A REGULAR BASIS TO TAKE THE SMELL AWAY.
APRIL SMITH ADVISED SHE BOUGHT THE MATTRESSES AND FRAMES FOR $50 AND THAT HE
GAVE HER THE PARTS/HARDWARE TO THE BED FRAMES IN A BLUE TOTE.
APRIL SMITH ADVISED WHEN THE DEFENDANT BECAME ARRESTED, SHE AND HER HUSBAND
RECOGNIZED THE PHOTOGRAPH OF HIM AS THE SAME PERSON THEY HAD BOUGHT THE
MATTRESSES FROM.
APRIL SMITH SHOWED ME THE ITEMS INSIDE HER RESIDENCE WHICH WERE SET UP, EACH
IN A SEPARATE BEDROOM. I TOOK DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ITEMS, AS WELL AS THE
BLUE TOTE WHICH SHE RECEIVED THE ITEMS IN. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING
OF EVIDENTIARY VALUE ON THE MATTRESSES, FRAMES, OR IN/ON THE BLUE TOTE. THE
MATTRESSES WERE WHITE, CLEAN, AND DID NOT HAVE ANY LARGE STAINS OR
ABNORMALITIES ON THEM.
APRIL SMITH HAD NO FURTHER INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THIS CASE. I PROVIDED HER
MY BUSINESS CARD AND ADVISED HER TO CONTACT ME IN THE FUTURE FOR ANY FURTHER
ASSISTANCE.

DOCTOR EDMUND DONOGHUE PERFORMED THE AUTOPSIES ON VICTIMS CASEI JONES AND
CAMERON BOWERS. DOCTOR JONI SKIPPER PERFORMED THE AUTOPSIES ON VICTIMS
PRESTON BOWERS, MERCALLI JONES, AND AIYANA JONES.
VICTIM CAMERON BOWERS'S REMAINS WERE INSIDE OF A RED SUITCASE, WHICH HAD BEEN

DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY ADDITIONAL TRAUMA NOTED. THERE WAS A TOWEL
STUFFED INTO VICTIM CAMERON’S MOUTH.
VICTIM PRESTON BOWERS'S REMAINS WERE INSIDE A PLASTIC TOTE. WHEN THE LID WAS
REMOVED FROM THE TOTE, I OBSERVED A ZIP TIE WAS TIGHTENED AROUND HIS NECK.
VICTIMS MERCALLI AND AIYANA JONES’S REMAINS WERE BOTH LOCATED INSIDE A SINGLE,
SMALL, PLASTIC TOTE. INSIDE THE TOTE WITH THE TWO GIRLS WAS A BABY BOTTLE WITH
AIYANA’S NAME ON IT AND A SMALL, PINK PAIR OF GIRLS' SANDALS.

UPON MY ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED DEPUTY KING, SERGEANT MICAH MOORE, ID 5224, AND

HE HAD BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH THE OWNER OF THE RESIDENCE, WHO ADVISED HE HAD

CONSENT AND THEY EXITED THE RESIDENCE. WHILE INSIDE, A HEAVY DECOMPOSITION

DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I LEFT THE SCENE AND TRAVELED TO OUR OFFICE TO DO
RESEARCH INTO ANY POSSIBLE FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHO MAY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE

IT WITH A CORDLESS DRILL. DETECTIVE BARTLETT ADVISED IT APPEARED THERE HAD
BEEN A BODY STORED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE RESIDENCE INSIDE AND HE
WANTED TO CHECK UNDER THE HOME FOR ANY TYPE OF DECOMPOSITION LIQUID FROM
THE BODY THAT MAY HAVE SEEPED THROUGH THE FLOORING UNDER THE HOME. FINDING
NONE, I REPLACED THE PANEL.
DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I WERE PLANNING THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION WHEN WE

HAD KILLED HIS WIFE AND THAT SHE WAS IN THE VAN THAT HAD CRASHED INTO A
CULVERT. WE RECEIVED SEVERAL PHONE CALLS FROM CHIEF SIMPSON WHILE EN ROUTE
TO GEORGIA UPDATING US ON THE CASE AS WE DROVE. CHIEF SIMPSON REPORTED TO US
THAT THE GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS WAS NOW LEADING THE INVESTIGATION
IN GEORGIA AND THAT SPECIAL AGENT WILL IVEY WAS CONDUCTING A VIDEOTAPED
INTERVIEW WITH HIM. ALONG THE WAY, WE WERE CALLED AND TOLD THE SUSPECT HAD
CONFESSED TO KILLING HIS WIFE AND STORING HER BODY AT THE RESIDENCE AT 14860 SE
86 TERRACE, SUMMERFIELD, FLORIDA, AND THEN IN THE VAN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
DEPUTY CHIEF SIMPSON RELAYED TO US THAT THE SUSPECT TOLD THEM HE LEFT THE
CHILDREN BACK IN FLORIDA WITH HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW, NIKKI JONES, THE INITIAL
REPORTING PARTY. WE KNEW THIS TO BE A LIE; HOWEVER, TO VERIFY, DETECTIVE
BARTLETT MADE PHONE CONTACT WITH NIKKI, WHO RE-ITERATED THAT SHE HAD NOT
SEEN ANY OF THE CHILDREN FOR WEEKS. THIS WAS RELAYED BACK TO DEPUTY CHIEF
SIMPSON, WHO I ASSUME TOLD SPECIAL AGENT IVEY. A FEW MINUTES LATER, CHIEF
DEPUTY SIMPSON CALLED BACK AND ADVISED THAT THE NOW DEFENDANT MICHAEL JONES
HAD CONFESSED TO KILLING ALL FOUR OF THE MISSING CHILDREN AND HAD HIDDEN THEIR
BODIES IN THE WOODS NOT FAR FROM WHERE HE CRASHED THE VAN. DEPUTY CHIEF
SIMPSON ALSO ADVISED THE DEFENDANT NOW AGREED TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE
AREA WHERE HE DUMPED THE BODIES AND POINT THEM OUT DEPUTIES.
DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I ARRIVED AT THE CRASH SCENE AT APPROXIMATELY 2200

HOURS, AT WHICH POINT, WE MADE CONTACT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH THE
BRANTLEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. ALSO PRESENT WAS GEORGIA BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION SPECIAL AGENT JAMIE KARNES, WHO APPEARED TO BE TAKING
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SCENE. THERE WAS A TOW TRUCK THERE, AS WELL AS OTHER
LAW ENFORCEMENT DIRECTING TRAFFIC. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS ATTEMPTING TO
PULL THE VAN OUT OF THE DITCH. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH IT HAD VEERED OFF OF THE
ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE CULVERT AND BECAME DISABLED. THERE WAS A
STRONG ODOR OF DECOMPOSITION COMING FROM THE VAN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE
BRANTLEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE WAS HAVING THE VAN TOWED AND SECURED AS
EVIDENCE IN THEIR EVIDENCE YARD AND IT WOULD BE SECURE.
DEPUTY CHIEF SIMPSON ARRIVED ON-SCENE AND ADVISED ONE OF HIS DEPUTIES HAD
MICHAEL JONES IN THE BACK OF HIS PATROL VEHICLE, AND HE (MICHAEL) WAS DIRECTING
HIM ON WHERE TO GO TO FIND THE BODIES OF THE FOUR CHILDREN. DETECTIVE
BARTLETT AND I THEN FOLLOWED THAT DEPUTY’S VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THE SHERIFF OF
BRANTLEY COUNTY AND SEVERAL OTHER PATROL VEHICLES, SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 301
FROM THE CRASH SITE TO LOCATE THE WOODED AREA WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE
PLACED. AFTER SEVERAL PASSES BACK AND FORTH, WE CAME TO A RURAL DIRT ROAD IN

VEHICLE CARRYING THE DEFENDANT TURNED BACK SOUTH. DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I
EXITED OUR VEHICLE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE NOW IN CHARLTON COUNTY. AT
THAT POINT, WE MET WITH THE CASE AGENT, GBI SPECIAL AGENT IVEY. SA IVEY TOLD US
THAT THE DEFENDANT TOLD HIM HE HAD PLACED THE BODIES OF THE FOUR CHILDREN
INTO PLASTIC STORAGE TOTES. HE TOLD THEM THE TOTES WERE HIDDEN NEAR THE AREA
WE HAD JUST PARKED AND THEY WERE COVERED WITH CUT PALM FRONDS. ALL OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT PRESENT BEGAN TO FAN OUT TO SEARCH THE AREA FOR THE TOTES. IT
WAS CLEAR THEY WERE IN THE AREA FROM THE SMELL OF DECOMPOSITION THAT WAS ALL
AROUND US IN THE AIR. ALL THREE TOTES WERE EVENTUALLY LOCATED IN THE GENERAL
AREA SEPARATED BY SOME DISTANCE. GBI AGENTS THEN COORDINATED WITH LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO PROCESS THE SCENE AND RECOVER THE BODIES. PLEASE SEE EACH
AGENCY’S REPORT FOR DOCUMENTATION ON THAT PROCESS AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT.
AT THAT POINT, DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I WERE TOLD THE DEFENDANT WOULD NOW BE
TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE BRANTLEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE AND WE REQUESTED
TO CONDUCT OUR OWN INTERVIEW WITH HIM. DETECTIVE BARTLETT AND I RESPONDED
BACK TO THAT LOCATION AND CONDUCTED A VIDEOTAPED INTERVIEW WITH HIM IN THE
BRANTLEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE INTERVIEW ROOM.
AT APPROXIMATELY 0056 HOURS ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2019, DETECTIVE BARTLETT READ
MIRANDA WARNINGS TO MICHAEL JONES WITH HIS AGENCY-ISSUED MIRANDA CARD. THE
DEFENDANT ADVISED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
HE THEN PROCEEDED TO CONFESS TO THE KILLING OF HIS WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN. THE
FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN EXACT TRANSCRIPT.
PLEASE REFER TO THE VIDEOTAPED INTERVIEW AND DETECTIVE BARTLETT’S
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS FOR MORE INFORMATION. DURING THE INTERVIEW, HE ADVISED
THAT ON JULY 10, 2019, HE AND HIS WIFE, CASEI JONES, WERE IN A VERBAL ALTERCATION
AND DURING THE ALTERCATION, SHE GRABBED A BAT LATER DESCRIBED AS A METAL
CHILDREN’S BASEBALL BAT AND WAS PUSHING HIM WITH IT. THE DEFENDANT DESCRIBED
TAKING THE BAT AWAY FROM HER AND HITTING HER REPEATEDLY IN THE HEAD, KILLING
HER. HE THEN DESCRIBES PUTTING HER BODY IN A PLASTIC TOTE AND STORING IT IN THE

BEING ABLE TO BREATHE. HE ADVISED WHEN HE WENT INTO THE ROOM, HIS INTENTION
WAS TO KILL HIM. HE STATED, “EVERYTHING WAS ON HIM”. WHILE HE WAS KILLING
CAMERON, PRESTON WAS SLEEPING IN THE BED RIGHT NEXT DOOR. HE THEN PLACED
CAMERON’S BODY IN A SUITCASE.
THE NEXT NIGHT, HE STATED HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO KILL PRESTON. HE STATED
HIS HANDS WERE SORE AND HURT FROM THE STRUGGLE WITH STRANGLING CAMERON
AND IT “POPPED INTO HIS HEAD” THAT HE HAD ZIP TIES IN THE HOUSE. HE STATED HE
GRABBED A ZIP TIE AND WENT INTO THE ROOM AND GRABBED PRESTON OFF OF THE BED
AND PUT THE ZIP TIE AROUND HIS NECK AND PULLED IT TIGHT. HE THEN CARRIED THE BOY
INTO THE BATHROOM, WHERE HE ALREADY HAD THE WATER RUNNING IN THE TUB AND
PROCEEDED TO DROWN THE BOY IN THE RUNNING WATER. HE DID NOT HAVE A STOPPER
FOR THE DRAIN, SO HE SHOVED A RAG IN THE DRAIN TO KEEP SOME WATER CONTAINED IN
THE TUB TO HELP WITH THE DROWNING. ONCE PRESTON DIED, HE PLACED HIM IN PLASTIC
GARBAGE BAGS AND LEFT HIM IN THE BATHROOM INITIALLY.
HE USED KITTY LITTER AT SOME POINT TO HELP SOAK UP THE BODILY FLUIDS THAT CAME
FROM THE DECAYING BODIES THAT HE KEPT IN THE RESIDENCE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
HE ADVISED DURING THIS TIME, HE HAD CASEI’S PHONE AND HE KEPT UP THE
APPEARANCES THAT SHE WAS ALIVE BY PRETENDING TO BE HER ON TEXT MESSAGES TO
FRIENDS AND RELATIVES, AND HE ALSO KEPT MAKING POSTS ON FACEBOOK PRETENDING
TO BE HER.
CONTINUING WITH THE INTERVIEW, HE THEN STATED, “THEN CAME THE EVICTION NOTICE”.
HE ADVISED THAT SOMEONE CAME AND SERVED AN EVICTION NOTICE ON HIM STATING HE
HAD FIVE DAYS TO MOVE OUT OF THE INCIDENT LOCATION. HE STATED HE STAYED THERE
UNTIL THE FIFTH DAY AND THEN LOADED UP THE GIRLS AND DROVE TO THE CITY HALL IN
BELLEVIEW, FLORIDA. HE DESCRIBED LOOKING OVER AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
NEARBY TRYING TO GET UP THE NERVE TO GO TURN HIMSELF IN OR HOPING SOMEONE
WOULD ARREST HIM. AT SOME POINT, HE DECIDED TO BREAK CASEI’S PHONE, WHICH HE
STILL HAD IN HIS POSSESSION, AND HE THREW IT IN A DUMPSTER ACROSS THE STREET
FROM BELLEVIEW CITY HALL. HE STATED HE DROVE AROUND FOR A WHILE, THEN WENT
HOME AND DECIDED TO KILL THE GIRLS. HE ADVISED HE FILLED THE BATHTUB AND PICKED
UP MERCALLI, CARRIED HER INTO THE BATHROOM, AND HELD HER UNDER WATER UNTIL

RECOLLECTION OF JUST TWO DAYS PRIOR AROSE MY SUSPICION. I ADVISED SARAH JONES
THAT A DETECTIVE WAS AT THE MCDONALD'S AND WOULD BE CALLING HER FOR FURTHER

RESIDENCE, WHICH HE PROVIDED THE PHONE NUMBERS FOR “MATT” AND “PATRICK”. THIS
CONVERSATION WAS BRIEF AND WAS NOT RECORDED.
I NEXT MADE PHONE CONTACT WITH MATTHEW QUINN, WHO PROVIDED ME WITH A BRIEF

INVOLVEMENT, I ASKED HIM TO RETURN TO THE RESIDENCE FOR FURTHER INTERVIEW.
I ARRIVED BACK AT THE 14680 SE 86TH TERRACE ADDRESS, WHICH SECURITY WAS BEING
PROVIDED BY DEPUTIES.
FORENSIC TECHNICIAN KING ARRIVED AND THE EXECUTION OF THE SEARCH WARRANT
BEGAN. AFTER THE EXTERIOR OF THE RESIDENCE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED, WE ENTERED
THE RESIDENCE THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. DEPUTY KING RECEIVED THE COMBINATION
TO THE LOCKBOX FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER THE PREVIOUS EVENING. IMMEDIATELY
UPON OPENING THE DOOR, I WAS ABLE TO SMELL THE ODOR OF DECOMPOSITION. I BEGAN
TO LOOK OVER THE SCENE; I NOTED IT WAS CLEANED OUT OF ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY
FROM THE PREVIOUS TENANTS. IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF EAST BEDROOM, I
OBSERVED THE FLOOR TO BE SHINIER THAN THE OTHER FLOORING. IN THE SAME CORNER
I OBSERVED WHAT I RECOGNIZED AS DAMAGE CAUSED BY DECOMPOSITION FLUIDS BEING
ON A FLOOR. THIS ROOM HAD A STRONGER ODOR THAN THE OTHER ROOMS IN THE HOME.
IN THE LIVING ROOM NEAR THE FRONT DOOR WAS A BROOM, DUST PAN, MOP, AND BUCKET
WITH BLEACH AND A ROOM DEODORIZER BOTTLE. IN THE MASTER BEDROOM (WEST

FIRST CAME TO THE RESIDENCE ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 AT 0900 HOURS. QUINN
STATED HE AND “PATRICK” WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET TO BEGIN CLEANING OUT THE
PROPERTY; HOWEVER, PATRICK DID NOT SHOW UP. QUINN MADE CONTACT WITH THE

AND DIRECTED HIM TO MAKE ENTRY INTO THE HOME. QUINN ADVISED HE ENTERED THE
HOME WHICH WAS LOCKED BY PRYING THE LOCK WITH A SCREWDRIVER AS INSTRUCTED
BY THE HOMEOWNER. QUINN ADVISED THERE WAS TRASH OUTSIDE OF THE RESIDENCE
NEAR THE WOODEN STEPS. UPON ENTRY INTO THE HOME, QUINN NOTICED THE FOUL
ODOR EMITTING FROM THE EAST BEDROOM. QUINN ADVISED THE ODOR EMITTING FROM
THE EAST BEDROOM WAS NOT THE NORMAL TRASH/FOOD/ANIMAL FECES ODOR. QUINN
STATED HE AND PATRICK LATER JOKED ABOUT THE ODOR BEING A DEAD BODY. QUINN
ADVISED HE TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE INSIDE OF THE HOME TO DOCUMENT THE
RESIDENCE HOW HE DISCOVERED IT. QUINN FORWARDED ME THESE IMAGES, WHICH I
LATER UPLOADED TO EVIDENCE.COM.
QUINN STATED HE WORKED ON CLEANING UP THE WEST BEDROOM BECAUSE THE ODOR
WAS STRONG IN THE EAST BEDROOM. QUINN ADVISED THE WEST BEDROOM HAD WOMEN'S
AND INFANT CLOTHING. QUINN STATED THERE IT APPEARED AS IF THE MALE HALF OF THE
RESIDENCE HAD MOVED OUT. QUINN ADVISED HE OBSERVED FAMILY PHOTOS WITH A MALE
SUBJECT IN THEM, BUT THERE WAS NO PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH AN ADULT MALE
LIVING THERE.
QUINN ADVISED THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE EAST BEDROOM WAS WHERE THE ODOR
WAS EMITTING FROM; QUINN STATED THERE WAS KITTY LITTER ON THE FLOOR IN THE
CORNER.
QUINN ADVISED THAT ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2019, HE DID NOT TAKE ANYTHING TO THE DUMP
FOR DISPOSAL.

COUNTY LANDFILL. QUINN ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING APPARENT THAT HE IDENTIFIED
AS A CRIME SCENE OR OF SUSPICIOUS NATURE. QUINN ADVISED THE EAST BEDROOM
WHERE THE ODOR WAS EMITTING FROM HAD A “GREASY” SPOT ON THE FLOOR WHERE HE
SWEPT UP THE KITTY LITTER. QUINN ADVISED DURING THE CLEAN UP, HE DID NOT
OBSERVE ANYTHING CONSISTENT WITH THERE BEING A CAT LIVING AT THE RESIDENCE.
QUINN DID STATE HE REMOVED A COT AND A POP-UP TENT WHICH HE TOOK HOME, BOTH
OF WHICH WERE IN THE WEST BEDROOM. QUINN ADVISED HE WOULD RELINQUISH THESE
ITEMS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT WHICH HE LATER DID. DEPUTY TORTORA, ID 5699,
COLLECTED THE ITEMS AND PLACED THEM INTO EVIDENCE.
THIS CONCLUDED MY INTERVIEW WITH QUINN; A COPY OF THIS AUDIO RECORDED

INTERVIEW WAS UPLOADED TO EVIDENCE.COM.
I THEN RE-ENTERED THE RESIDENCE AND DISCUSSED THE NEW INFORMATION WITH
FORENSIC TECHNICIAN KING. I LEARNED THAT FORENSICS TECHNICIAN KING DISCOVERED
SUSPECTED BLOOD IN AN AIR VENT IN THE WEST BEDROOM. WE BEGAN PROCESSING THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE EAST BEDROOM. USING BLUE STAR SOLUTION, THERE WAS
AN IMMEDIATE ILLUMINATION OF BLUE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER ON THE FLOOR AND

SUPPORT
CALHOUN, T LIEUTENANT 483
SERV
On 9/17/2019, Crime Scene Technician Jamila King and DNA Technician Ashley Dewese followed
Detective Levy to Georgia where they processed the defendant's vehicle that was recovered in this
case. King and Dewese returned to Ocala that evening. See their supplements for details.
On 9/18/2019, Detective Levy attended the autopsies of the recovered bodies. He took custody of a
number of items from the medical examiner's office and brought them and the defendant's vehicle to
Ocala. Detective Levy took the vehicle to C&M Towing in Ocala; it did not come to Evidence. The items
from the medical examiner's office were turned over to Crime Scene Technician Jordyn Holzer at the
central Evidence office. The items were storage containers and other items that were recovered when
the bodies were recovered, along with three body bags. Practically everything was saturated with fluid
from the decomposed bodies and emitted an extremely foul odor.
Detective Levy assisted Technician Holzer in placing some of the items in drying cabinets in the main
Evidence office. Not all items would fit in our drying cabinets so I responded from home to open up the
Evidence large warehouse where the remaining items were deposited.
After several days, it became apparent that due to the decomposition fluid, the items would not
completely dry. I decided that the best way to preserve the items and minimize the extreme odors they
were emitting was to store them in a freezer in plastic bags/containers.
On 9/23/2019, I assisted Crime Scene Technicians Jordyn Holzer and Katherine Miller in packaging the

ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2019, I COMPLETED A LABORATORY REQUEST TO HAVE THE BUCCAL
SWABS COLLECTED FROM RICHARD BOWERS, NIKKI JONES, AND DEFENDANT MICHAEL
JONES, ALONG WITH THE BLOOD SPOT CARDS I COLLECTED AFTER THE AUTOPSIES, SENT
TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT (FDLE) LABORATORY FOR ANALYSIS
IN ORDER TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE. AFTER CONFERRING WITH
SENIOR FORENSIC DNA TECHNICIAN C. DECKER, FDLE LABORATORY PERSONNEL, AND
PERSONNEL AT THE GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (GBI) CRIME LAB, IT WAS
DECIDED THE BEST ROUTE TO TAKE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VICTIMS IDENTIFIED WOULD
BE TO SEND THE BUCCAL SWABS COLLECTED BY THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
SENT TO THE GBI CRIME LAB AND ALLOW THEM TO COMPLETE THE IDENTIFICATION. IT IS
LIKELY THE SAMPLE OBTAINED ON THE BLOOD SPOT CARDS FROM THE VICTIMS IS TOO
DEGRADED, DUE TO THE VICTIM'S STATE OF DECOMPOSITION, FOR ANALYSIS AND
IDENTIFICATION. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO USE DNA SAMPLES TAKEN FROM THE VICTIM'S
BONES IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE IDENTIFICATIONS. THE VICTIM'S REMAINS ARE STILL
LOCATED AT THE GBI CRIME LAB, THEREFORE, THE ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION CAN BE
PERFORMED MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY BY GBI CRIME LAB PERSONNEL. TECHNICIAN DECKER
ADVISED HE WOULD ARRANGE TO HAVE THE BUCCAL SWABS SENT TO GBI, VIA FED EX, AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DURING MY SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2019, I LOCATED A

HAND WRITTEN NOTE, UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE NOTE HAD DETECTIVE B.
BARTLETT'S NAME ON IT, ALONG WITH HIS PHONE NUMBER. THE NOTE ALSO HAD "SAW
CASEI FRIDAY WHEN DROPPED KIDS OFF" WRITTEN ON IT. THERE WERE OTHER PHONE
NUMBERS AND NAMES WRITTEN ON THE NOTE. THE NOTE WAS COLLECTED AND
SUBMITTED TO EVIDENCE BY CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN J. KING.

A SHORT TIME AFTER LEAVING MRS. JONES' RESIDENCE, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MICHAEL
JONES WAS LOCATED IN GEORGIA FOLLOWING A TRAFFIC CRASH. I WAS ADVISED THAT
MICHAEL JONES HAD CONFESSED TO KILLING CASEI JONES AND FOUR OF HIS CHILDREN. I

ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2019, I MET WITH VICTIMS CAMERON AND PRESTON BOWERS'
FATHER, RICHARD BOWERS, AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, ANNA CORTES, AT THE MARION COUNTY
SHERIFF’S OFFICE IN ORDER TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC TIMES AND DATES HE LAST SAW HIS
CHILDREN OR HIS EX-WIFE, VICTIM CASEI JONES.
I INITIALLY BEGAN SPEAKING WITH MR. BOWERS AND MS. CORTES IN A VIDEO RECORDED
INTERVIEW, BUT LATER HAD TO MOVE FROM THE INTERVIEW ROOM TO ANOTHER AREA OF
THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. THE LATER CONTACT WAS AUDIO RECORDED
ONLY.
DURING MY CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. BOWERS, I LEARNED HE AND VICTIM CASEI JONES
WERE MARRIED AND DURING THEIR MARRIAGE, SHE WAS UNFAITHFUL TO HIM WITH
DEFENDANT MICHAEL JONES, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THEIR DIVORCE. MR. BOWERS
ADVISED HE HAD NOT VISITED WITH HIS BOYS FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR DUE TO HIM
MOVING OUT OF FLORIDA TO GEORGIA. ACCORDING TO MR. BOWERS, THE TERMS OF HIS
CHILD CUSTODY DID NOT ALLOW HIM TO TAKE THE CHILDREN OUT OF STATE TO LIVE. MR.
BOWERS WAS HAVING TERMS OF HIS CHILD CUSTODY CHANGED THROUGH THE COURTS.
MR. BOWERS WAS CURRENTLY ALLOWED TO HAVE CUSTODY OF THE BOYS IN GEORGIA.
MR. BOWERS ADVISED ON JUNE 6TH, 2019, HE HAD AN EXTENSIVE TEXT CONVERSATION
WITH VICTIM CASEI JONES ABOUT THE DATES WHEN HE WAS GOING TO PICKUP THE BOYS
FOR HIS SCHEDULED SUMMER VISITATION. MR. BOWERS READ ME THE CONTENT OF THIS

APOLOGIZED TO MR. BOWERS FOR PREVIOUS INTERACTIONS.
MR. BOWERS ADVISED HE HAD THE CHILDREN UNTIL AUGUST 10TH, 2019 AT
APPROXIMATELY 1330 HOURS WHEN HE DROPPED THE BOYS BACK OFF TO MICHAEL JONES
AGAIN WITHOUT CASEI JONES. THIS WAS THE LAST CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH THE
BOYS. MR. BOWERS ADVISED HE ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO CASEI JONES TO WISH HIS
SON HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON AUGUST 22ND, 2019, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE.
MR. BOWERS ADVISED AFTER LEARNING OF THE MURDERS AND RETROACTIVELY THINKING
ABOUT THE TEXT MESSAGES AND INTERACTIONS WITH MICHAEL JONES, HE FELT AS IF THE
TEXT MESSAGES RECEIVED AFTER JUNE 6TH, 2019 WERE NOT IN FACT CASEI JONES.
MR. BOWERS ALLOWED PERMISSION FOR THE TEXT CONVERSATIONS TO BE COLLECTED

FROM HIS PHONE. DIGITAL FORENSIC TECHNICIAN NEWBANKS OBTAINED A COPY OF THE
TEXT MESSAGES, WHICH WAS LATER UPLOADED TO EVIDENCE.COM. MR. BOWERS
ADVISED HE WOULD USE A TEXTING APPLICATION CALLED “GO DADDY” TO CONVERSE WITH
CASEI JONES BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT HER TO HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER.
ALSO ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2019, MICHAEL JONES WAS TRANSPORTED FROM BRANTLEY
COUNTY, GEORGIA TO THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. I CONDUCTED A BRIEF
POST MIRANDA VIDEO RECORDED INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL JONES. MICHAEL JONES
CONFIRMED THE DATE HE KILLED CASEI JONES AS JULY 10TH, 2019 AND ADVISED FROM
THAT POINT FORWARD, HE PRETENDED TO BE HER. MICHAEL JONES CONFIRMED THE BOYS
WERE BOTH KILLED BETWEEN THE TIME RICHARD BOWERS DROPPED THEM OFF AND
AUGUST 22ND, 2019 (PRESTON'S BIRTHDAY). MICHAEL JONES THEN CONFIRMED HE KILLED
THE GIRLS A DAY OR TWO BEFORE LEAVING TOWN FOR THE HURRICANE, LIKELY THE WEEK
OF AUGUST 26TH TO 30TH, 2019.
I ALSO SPOKE WITH MICHAEL JONES ABOUT HOW HE DISCIPLINED THE CHILDREN AND HE
ADVISED HE WOULD ONLY SPANK THEM WITH HIS HAND AND NO OTHER WEAPONS.
I ASKED MICHAEL JONES WHY HE COMMITTED THE MURDERS OF THE CHILDREN AND HE
STATED, “I DON’T KNOW JUST EVERYTHING MOUNTED UP AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE WAY
OUT”.

This report is in reference to crime scene processing and documentation that was performed at 14680
Southeast 86th Terrace, Summerfield, FL and the Brantley County Sheriff’s Office-95 John Wilson
Street, Nahunta, Georgia by Forensic Crime Scene Technician Jamila King #5816, with the assistance
of Captain K. Rowe #481, Forensic Crime Scene Technician Jordyn Holzer #6158, and Forensic DNA
Technician Ashley Dewese #5634.
At approximately 1610 hours, I was contacted by Detective Bradley Bartlett #3977 who requested that I
respond to the above listed address in reference to a search warrant. He stated a Marion County
search warrant was issued to seize any evidence found at the residence referencing the media release
of missing/endangered Casei Jones and her four children.
DAY ONE SCENE: 14680 Southeast 86th Terrace, Summerfield, FL

September 15, 2019 from 1649 hours to September 16, 2019 0111 hours
I arrived and met with Detective Bartlett. A visual observation revealed a tan colored single mobile
home with metal skirting located on a dirt road amongst surrounding mobile homes. The front door of
the home faces south and has a wooden porch with stairs leading up to the front door. I walked to the

north side of the property and saw a stroller outside near the back door stairway.
Detective Bartlett accompanied me inside the home through the front door. Upon entry, the home was
hot in temperature and a strong odor could be smelled. The living room was centered, the spare
bedroom and bathroom were to the east. The kitchen, laundry room, master bedroom and bathroom
were to the west. The home was completely empty of any furniture and appeared to have been recently
cleaned. A mop bucket, brooms, and cleaning supplies were in the living room by the front door. A
pedestal fan was running just inside the spare bedroom doorway. I walked towards the spare bedroom
and smelled a stronger odor coming from the room. The bedroom appeared clean excluding the
northeast corner flooring and baseboards. That section of the flooring contained a dark colored dry
substance with sand like residue.
The spare bathroom was adjacent to the spare bedroom. The bathroom was unclean and empty of any
items other than toilet supplies and a cleaning product on the sink countertop.
I walked into the kitchen and saw it to be fairly clean. The refrigerator doors and shelf cabinets were
observed open and empty.
The laundry room was empty of any items excluding a broom.
I walked into the master bedroom and saw it to be empty and fairly clean. The bedroom closet was
empty excluding a paint bucket and household products on the shelf.
A section of the bedroom flooring, located close beside the bathroom, revealed an unknown red
colored substance. That substance was also seen just inside on the bathroom floor.
The bathtub appeared dirty. There were pink colored stains inside the tub and the surrounding
crevices. The bathroom’s storage shelving and sink base cabinet were empty.

SCENE PROCESSING REPORT

Kathleen Schmidt #947
REFERENCE:
This report is in reference to scene processing located at 14680 SE 86th Terrace, Summerfield 34491,
which was performed by Assistant Forensic Director Kathleen Schmidt #947 on Monday, September
16, 2019 from 1134 hours to 1245 hours.
When I arrived at work Monday morning, I attended a briefing in reference to this case. It was decided
that Forensic Crime Scene Technician J. King #5816 would return to the incident location to collect
portions of the baseboard and vinyl flooring from the east bedroom. I responded to the scene to assist.
SCENE:
The scene was a single-wide mobile home situated in an east-west direction. Crime scene tape was in
place around the property and Deputy J. Remington #5345 and Deputy Trainee R. West #6315 were
maintaining the crime scene log. Sergeant F. Rodriguez #978, Detective J. Lightle #5656, and
Technician King were already inside the home.
I opened the front door on the south side of the house and immediately smelled the odor of
decomposition. As I entered the living room through that door, the east bedroom and bathroom were to
my right. The kitchen was to the left of the living room. Beyond the kitchen was a laundry area. The
master bedroom and bath were at the west end of the home beyond the laundry area. A back door
was located in the kitchen on the north wall. There was no furniture anywhere and the place appeared
to be cleaned and ready for the next tenant, except for the foul odor.

SCENE PROCESSING AND RESULTS:
Technician King had marked the east bedroom with Easel 2. The room had light tan walls, white
baseboard trim, and brown vinyl flooring that had the appearance of wood grain. I saw that two
sections of the baseboard trim had been removed from the northeast corner and were already in
evidence bags. Detective Lightle pulled back the vinyl flooring in that corner. The floor under it was
white tile and I observed reddish brown stains on the tile and the underside of the vinyl. Some areas of
the stain appeared wet and the odor of decomposition was very strong in that area. Detective Lightle
cut out the corner section of vinyl. It was photographed and collected by Technician King.
I completed a rough sketch of the home with estimated room sizes, labeled the rooms with numbers
designated by Technician King, and marked the location where the baseboard and vinyl were removed.
