RFB Radio ~ The Murder of Jessica Chambers

For 14 months, a town of 500 in northwest Mississippi grappled with the mysterious burning death of one of its daughters, Jessica Chambers, a 19-year-old who left her mother's house in pajama pants, reportedly to clean her car. She never returned.

When police found her later the night of December 6, 2014, not far from her mother's Courtland home, her car was on fire and Chambers had burns over 98% of her body. She said something to a firefighter -- authorities wouldn't say what -- before she was rushed to a hospital, where she died the next day.

Quinton Tellis, 27, faces a capital murder charge in her slaying, said John Champion, district attorney for Mississippi's 17th Circuit Court. The charge is capital murder because her death occurred during the commission of another crime, third-degree arson, he said.
