In 1994, Jackie's Mom and one of Jackie's sons discovered her body. She had been shot in the head, twice, in her bedroom.

He was later transferred to jail in Texas, where as of 2024, he is still imprisoned. For more details, see Cold Justice: Where Is Jesse Hogue Now? and Records show cold case suspect lived in Colorado for years.
