Ep 147 : The Jessica Boynton Case: A Closet, A Gun, and a Story That Doesn’t Add Up

Mama Mystery with Kelly Evans

Jessica Boynton was just 19 years old, a young mother of two, and navigating a tumultuous marriage to a police officer when her life took a shocking turn. On April 14, 2016, a late-night argument ended with Jessica locked in a closet, found later by officers lying in a pool of blood with what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But as the investigation unfolded, questions emerged: How could there be two bullet holes in the wall, but no bullet wound? And why did Jessica’s version of events conflict with her husband Matthew’s story?

In this episode of Mama Mystery, we dig into the baffling evidence, Jessica’s miraculous recovery, and the lingering suspicions surrounding her police officer husband. Was this an attempted suicide, as authorities claimed, or a carefully orchestrated act of violence? Join us as we unravel the twists and turns of a case rife with controversy, small-town politics, and a young woman’s fight for justice.
