Jenny Webb had a magnetic personality attracting everyone around tell me a little bit about Jenny growing up I always thought of her as the sparkle of the family she loved life and she had a good attitude nothing ever got her down she was just the most happiest loving person you'd ever want to meet the 32 year old from Buena Vista Michigan had even more to be happy about these days she was eight and a half months pregnant with her first child a boy Jenny's mom dawn was in shock when she first heard her daughter was expecting for that matter so is Jenny she was five months pregnant before she found out she was pregnant she was five months five months pregnant yes I'm like you're pregnant I said you know you're not even really dating anybody even still there was no question as to who the father was what did she tell you about him well she and he had been friends for probably ten years I had never met him she would say the name that's all she told me that he was the father there was a reason she wasn't with the father he was married she was under the impression that he was separated and not even living with his wife at the time and that's when they entered into a more intimate relationship yes and just to be clear because she was carrying his baby was she in love with him no absolutely not and did she have any fantasies of marrying him or bringing up the baby together absolutely not so Jenny was preparing to be a single mother to a son she'd named Braxton so she was pretty much set in her life right yes and things were going well for her yes yes she had a good job and she had bought a house and starting a family of her own yes so things were definitely very good but how true was that really when a decision is made to end it all it's a beautiful evening in late August after work Jenny goes to her best friend Andrea's house to help her with newborn twin girls Jenny can't stay too late she has plans that night to meet up with her baby's father I said you know what are you guys meeting up about and she said well we need to discuss this whole child support thing did she also want to put his name on the birth certificate yes and how did he feel about it I think that was one of the things that he was kind of on the fence about so they were discussing that as well so when she left that night walked out the door what's the last thing you two said to each other I think there furth helping me with the girls and she said same time tomorrow and I said if you're willing and she goes up and she stepped off the porch and she goes see ya it's drove off a couple of hours later a gruesome discovery on a secluded Road a Pontiac Aztek parked near a ditch and a woman with an extension cord around her neck is found hanging from the cars luggage rack the first on the scene Buena Vista Township police officer Kenneth blue followed by Officer Tim Patterson when Patterson rolls up the first thing blue does is get out of his car and say how do you want to do this both approached the vehicle and see the victim it's Jenny Webb neither seemed to know her officer blue pulls the victims purse out of her car and finds a small folded piece of paper officers blue and Patterson read it together it's a suicide note there were a lot of details in the suicide note that she had lied about the true identity of the baby's father she finally revealed that his name was Chris she goes on to say she met him at a bar one night and lied she's ruined her life and feels like a failure because she can't afford to support herself and her baby the suicide note ends with it's the only way I love you and I'm sorry Jenny after reading the note officer blue pulls out the victim's wallet he looks at her to ID and then proclaims gee I know this girl turns out he says it's a girl he knows from one of the local bars minutes later Detective Sergeant Shawn Waterman arrives on the scene when I first get there officer Patterson comes up to me and says we got this girl over here and she looks like she hung herself the officer Patterson tells me that he had come back here looking for officer blue because he wants to answer his radio checks and I figured he was probably out here somewhere as cops investigate the scene officer Ken blue takes evidence photos but it all appears to be pretty open-and-shut you know you sit here and you're looking at the scene and it looks like legitimate suicide scene not many women normally hang themselves but I have seen it and so it didn't look anything out of the order at that time so the car is towed away and Jenny Webb's body is taken to the morgue detective Waterman then makes his way to Jenny's family's home to deliver the heartbreaking news about horrible night how did you find out the phone ring in the middle of the night and it was Shawn Waterman said I'm on your porch please come open your door and I opened the door and he said there's been a suicide and I said a suicide and he said yes Jennifer Webb and and I said which is kind of dumb but I said is she dead and he said yes and I said she may be dead but she did not commit suicide what about the suicide note when I saw the suicide note it was typed it was single-spaced it was in size 10 font and it was just worded so unlike my daughter if Jenny would have written a suicide note it would have been in her own handwriting in a glitter pen in purple or green or pink and each person would have got their own copy it would have never ever never would have looked the way it did and the content of that letter I don't even remember most of it because I only probably only read about a quarter of it and I knew that it it just wasn't legitimate so I didn't bother reading the rest of it Jenny Webb eight-and-a-half months pregnant is dead an apparent suicide that heartbreakingly also claims the life of her unborn son Braxton mom dies baby dies that's just the way it is so tragic it's just incredibly but Jenny's friends and family in fatica Lee say Jenny did not take her own life you knew in your heart mm-hmm that your daughter was not suicidal that's right that's right she was excited to have this baby she wanted to be a mother she was not suicidal by any means then the question that would cause a tectonic shift in the case who's the father of Jenny's baby mr. Webb just looked at me said your officer can blue now I've been a public-safety a long time I was a paramedic before that okay deter in Southeast Asia so I not much rattles you but that rattled me I just couldn't believe it I felt sick to my stomach sick to his stomach because Waterman knew officer Ken blue was the one who found Jenny hanging from the luggage rack of her own car blue was the one who found the suicide note in her purse and now lü a married man with a family of his own was the father of her baby and I knew right then and there he did it I just know this whole thing was staged the univis to Township PD can't investigate one of their own so Michigan State Police are called in Detective Sergeant Alan OGG will be the lead investigator you got on the scene was everything still there nothing was there the body had been removed the vehicle had been towed everything was gone and were you thinking oh no I knew that that made it a little more difficult the scene is secured until forensic scientists Gary Ginther and Valerie Bowman arrived the next morning once there they make a discovery in the ditch below where Jenny's car was parked a pair of flip-flops but not much else there wasn't really a whole lot there and for whatever reason I was just standing along the asphalt just saying there has to be evidence here someplace or there's evidence that we're not seeing or finding and lo and behold lo and behold indeed 195 feet from where Jenny's body was found Ginther finds a cigarette butt lying on the ground and that's not all I just turned around and looked down and observed the blood spot and then eventually not too far away from that blood spot was a little necklace of peace a cigarette butt a necklace charm and blood possibly three bombshell pieces of evidence everything collected is sent to the lab for testing including Jenny's and Blues cars the Pontiac Aztek was towed to the laboratory and we also process officer Ken Blues patrol vehicle so what was officer blue up to that night turns out blue had been strangely silent not answering any radio checks for the hour and a half leading up to Jenny's body being found he goes dark on his police radio from about 1905 or so to 10:30 when officer Paterson finally had it with where's blue he's not he's not responding so he goes out looking for it was then when Patterson headed to one specific dead-end road in an isolated part of town how did Officer Patterson know to go to that location that was where blue would go if he was going to sleep on the job he sees Ken's car there sees the victim's car and Ken says yeah he could ready to call you I found this girl according to Patterson blue looked disheveled and out of sorts when he got there blue was all sweaty and out of breath and the more cops dig the more pieces of evidence point to blue in Jenny's phone in Jenny's contact lists she referred to officer blue as Ken cop boo she did Ken cop boo and of course when sergeant Waterman found that number in her phone he not only knew oh Ken cop boo what's the coincidence there but the phone number that was attached to it he knew ken blues cellphone number he recognized it right away he recognized that these three calls had been made that evening three calls between Jenny and officer blue on the night she was found dead detectives also learn Jenny an officer blue had planned to meet that evening around 9 o'clock to discuss child support and putting his name on the baby's birth certificate so what did Officer blue have to say about it all Michigan State Police believe Jenny Webb eight-and-a-half months pregnant was murdered and staged to look like a suicide their suspect the father of Jenny's baby Buena Vista Township police officer Ken blue first on the scene that night and as it turns out back again I go out to the crime scene State Police are there crime labs there and lo and behold who comes pulling up in a civilian clothes Ken blue to the crime scene the crime scene what is he doing trying to gather information of what's going on and that he was ordered back to the station you stay there back at the Buena Vista Police Station sergeant aughh is shown evidence photos from the night before photos taken by none other than officer blue so when you first got a chance to see the evidence photos you already knew that the suspect is the one who had taken them yes that must have been pretty creepy very unusual never have had a case like that in my career I'm curious when officer blue cleared that scene that night he probably thought he was done and in the clear yeah he probably was he was asked by his chief to remain at the police department to be available for my interview I would say at this point the wanting to give the appearance of being fully cooperative nothing to hide he did that and sat through that interview that interview about nine hours after Jenny's body was found would be conducted by sergeant OGG and lieutenant Jason Teddy it starts like three cops just hanging out anywhere and one important dude I was playing master haven't shown I have to salute obviated but things quickly turn serious blue says he was patrolling the area when he saw a stopped vehicle the spotlight and about that time he says he and officer tim paterson approached the vehicle at the same time I started to walk towards the driver side corner and as I got closer I saw the door open the back door back driver door was open took a few more status and I saw her laying on the ground I saw the court run it to the top of the car my gosh hey yellow timber I said hey we got a body blue says he found the suicide note in her purse then went looking for the victims identification thumb wallet open well into the wallet found the ID and hit dad finally oh I know this girl you guys check food labels what I don't know I you know I just I guess probably that is disturb well I mean there was no movement you know and when any when I loved that there wasn't I mean from a distance there didn't appear to be any chest rise you know I mean lives were kind of bluish I mean it wasn't giving me the impression that it was you know that she was alive blue goes on to say he's actually known Jenny for 10 years they were friends recently seeing each other once or twice a month given the position that she was in and it was a photographer I don't mean to sound like an ass I just think of how would you not recognize her just kind of going to go into Cano at that places okay what I got to do but you you got a good enough look at every little surprise and follow my lips were blue all right I said that that's not that's not a position that I ever see her in I mean when I see her she's got her hair done so you know here here there guys like me a house struggling with us right now because we're looking at what we're all set here going how do you how do you go how do you talk to a guy about this and I'm sure you saw it coming but well I mean yeah I mean one of the ones I realize I knew her and okay I mean during the interview aughh notices some scratches on blue he had injuries on his body that were very suspicious in particular he had a serious injury to his one eye his claim was that the night before before he came to work he had been wrestling with his dog on the floor whatever and the dog injured his eye one of his co-workers had eaten dinner with him during their shift that night and sat across the table from him and that co-worker said there was no injuries nothing wrong with his eye blue also had a bandaid on his right index finger and scratches on his head and his forearm multiple times during the interview blue denies ever having sex with Jenny you've never had a sexual relationship with her is there any reason that she would have told people that you were the father of that child I know she has come again she has told people you're the father of that chat her family was well aware and look father that child was and know me personally but was well aware of what your name was where you worked what you didn't everything Wow no possibility of that eventually detectives asked for a swab of blues DNA but he first needs to sign a release when I requested of him to sign a consent form he hesitated before signing it [Music] and then just before he put pen to paper said 32 year old Jenny Webb and her unborn son Braxton are dead investigators believe the father of that child one of their own a cop the univis 2 Township police officer Ken blue murdered them and staged it to look like a suicide but what blue says happened that he found Jenny with an extension cord around her neck hanging off the side of her own car he doesn't fit the evidence could someone truly have committed suicide in the way she was positioned no practically speaking no it was quite inconsistent with a suicide attack former Saginaw Medical Examiner dr. canoe Virani says Jenny's body had bruising on her hands arms face chest and neck and the ligature mark from the electrical cord found around her neck came a post-mortem if she did not commit suicide how did she die she died of the suffocation they call it chokehold suffocation from a chokehold things were looking even more suspicious for blue he was trained in these choke holds as part of his police training and it was in fact a trainer himself and interestingly enough he had his training manual on chokeholds in his police car in the front seat which was very unusual Jenny Webb's death is officially ruled a homicide but there's another bombshell revelation that comes from the autopsy a seemingly small discovery with a gigantic outcome I was processing the victims clothes I found the tip to a latex glove on the inside of the glove tip my testing indicated the presence of human blood on the outside my testing indicated human blood and saliva DNA testing on the inside came back to show that the blood belonged to Ken blue DNA testing on the outside showed a mixed stain from Jennifer web and Ken blue the theory is that she may have been his finger during the assault making him bleed all over the crime scene and bleed all over he did his blood was found on the extension cord that was wrapped around the roof rails of her vehicle his blood was found on her clothing his blood was found in her car his blood was found in his patrol vehicle and on his uniform what about his uniform blue gave investigators a laundry bag containing the uniform he said he just had on the uniforms appeared unworn because the creases in both the front and backs of the legs were still crisp and the shirt smelled fresh so police searched and found a second uniform stashed under the rear seat of Blues truck that one was less pristine the second uniform I examined that and found bloodstains on the shirt and on the duty pants the blood stain on those items came back to be Ken Blue's didn't he think he was just brilliant I believe without a doubt he thought he was smarter than everybody else and that he was gonna be able to get away with this and the incriminating evidence kept coming in several fingerprints were found on Jennie Webb's car one in blood this is the print that was on the passenger side of the victim's vehicle on her Pontiac Aztek it showed this is the print in blood you can see the the recurve of the pattern of the fingerprint however in below of this recurve shows damage of some sort that was done to the individuals finger so officer blue was fingerprinted alright so what's this this is a fingerprint of the suspect officer Ken blue who was fingerprinted seven little over seven days after the the incident this shows his right index finger with the right loop with the recurve and it shows the same similar damage done to the fingerprint ridges as the area is on the Pontiac Aztek of the victim okay so the bloody print on her car matches his fingerprint and what's truly identical here is the fact that this finger was somehow injured or wounded that was correct yes and there's even more remember the three items found 195 feet from her body the DNA on the cigarette butt came back to match Ken blue the DNA on the necklace charm came back to match Jenni Webb and the blood spot that came back to match Jenni Webb dr. Virani says her nose bled as she was being killed so what do investigators think happened on that frightful night we believe they met here they talked here and he killed her here so how do you think he killed her we think he came up behind her and he was a big tall guy and got him behind her and using a chokehold was able to overpower her that because of the marks on his arms which were we there were claw marks in his arms which indicates she was struggling from buck and he was behind her and those three small things a cigarette butt something from her necklace and a drop of her blood that's how you figured out that this is where he likely killed correct after he killed her he loaded her into the backseat of her own vehicle somewhere right here and then he drove that vehicle around to where it was later found they say blue staged the suicide but how did he do it I think ultimately what he did was he had her body in the back seat tied the extension cord to her neck tied the extension cord to the car roof rack and then in all likelihood just pushed her out there's no other reason for his blood to be all over the back seat the back cushion the door sills armed with a search warrant detectives make some interesting discoveries at Blues home what you end up finding very similar extension cords are identical extension cords to what had been used on her body or in a drawer rolled up folded up tied up with a twist tie there was a obvious space where it looked like there could have been at one time another one of those cords and there was a twist tie laying there his computer searches had indicated what's the best way to commit suicide what's the most painless way to commit suicide one of the circumstances dynamics surrounding vascular compression strangulation all of these were on his computer searches it looked like the case against blue was aloft but was the evidence all a little too perfect there seems to be a mountain of evidence against Buena Vista Township police officer Kenneth blue suspected of murdering the mother of his unborn son Jenny Webb and staging it like a suicide all while on duty oops a cop what kind of sick person even dreams about something like that that's mind boggling but there was one more piece of evidence that could seal blues fate evidence found on the alleged suicide note on the back of this suicide note I found in located 14 latent fingerprints and begins Thurs testing showed not one single print matched Jenny Webb all 14 matched officer Ken blue but it was the condition of blues prints on the note that changed how the case would go forward there was no damage to the fingerprint ridges so it's telling me that that particular note was handled by Kenneth Bloo prior to his right index finger being damaged which investigators believe shows premeditation so the fact that you found one of his perfect finger prints on this folded note proves or suggests that he had been carrying this note absolutely and the only way he could have put that perfect fingerprint on the outside of the suicide letter would have been if he did it before he killed her and she bit him that is absolutely correct yes okay and the whole case turned there officer Ken Bloo was arrested and charged with four counts including first-degree murder and assault on a pregnant individual intentionally causing miscarriage or stillbirth we would have charged him with another first-degree murder of the baby except in an in the state of Michigan you can't have first-degree murder of an unborn child all those little baby was eight and a half months along but there was one person who said Kenneth Bloo should never have been arrested in the first place blues sister Debbie Dennis I know my brother and I know he didn't do it Debbie says she believes Jenny Webb took her own life the only explanation is she killed herself and that's hard I don't know maybe maybe it was just an accident I hate to say that she would have tied a cord around her own neck just to scare him some women can be dramatic I think all of the answers probably died with her for Debbie a lot of the case doesn't make sense where is the DNA where is the evidence that proves that he picked her up and he moved her around and put her in a car there's no drag marks on her on her anywhere where he could have drugged her there's no scrapes where he pushed her out of the door he didn't even have so much she had a long hair long curly hair it was not a hair strands on they had two of his uniforms and there was none of her DNA [Music] none of her hair no makeup there was nothing Debbie believes her brother may have been set up and some of the evidence may have been planted as for all the blood that they found on her body or in her car I'm not a hundred percent certain my theory would be that somebody put the blood there or because they definitely had access to his blood and his fingerprints yeah I'm not going to I can't none of Debbie Dennis's claims of police misconduct have ever been substantiated a little over a year after jenny was killed Kenneth blue went on trial what was it like when you walked into the courtroom and you saw him who I was shaking to be face to face with someone that could do the Hat that's tough he killed Jenny with it and make it look like something that person ladies and gentlemen is that man right there in over three weeks of testimony the prosecution called 31 witnesses the defense called only one what was his defense in court he didn't really present a specific defense just his attorney tried to poke holes and the prosecution's evidence but the evidence was just overwhelming it couldn't be done Kenneth blue never took the stand so many thing but surely motions by this man guilty of what the jury deliberated just two hours before rendering their verdict guilty on all counts at the sentencing Jenny's mother dawn Webb talked directly to blue an evil monster is the only words that I can think of for you so go to your cage and think about how you squeeze the life and breath out of my daughter and grandson and I hope it haunts you every day for the rest of your life can blue is sentenced to life in prison no chance of parole are you here for something like this you can't you know you can't lose a child like that and expect there to get over it in an exclusive statement to crime watch daily Kenneth blue says in part after consulting with my legal counsel I do not feel that it is appropriate to discuss the multitude of vague inaccurate and hypothetical statements from an alleged expert and witnesses with personal agendas or the total disregard for proper investigative practices and evidence collection procedures outside of judicial proceedings do you really think that he believed he could get away with this yes I believe that he and his own mind thought he was smart enough then would be able to get away with it but he failed terribly and he was sloppy I think the sloppiness came from things he couldn't control Jennie Webb's attack on him the fact that he's bleeding I mean who stages a crime scene while bleeding all over it Ken blue did himself in Ken blue did himself in with a lot of help from Jenny Webb she was our best witness this really impacted you well you have a what little baby boo you know I mean I was at his autopsy I truly believe God made her do what she bit his finger and left off that evidence I really truly believe that for Dawn she knows Jenny fought hard and ultimately helped solve the case along with the heart and dedication of some exceptional people a bad cop killed your daughter but the good cops got him in prison that's right [Music]
