The Murder

It was on June 23, 2012. Jason and Danielle went to a party. Here was the company of some Jason’s friends. Jason told the police they drank a lot and quarreled with Danielle. Jason threatened to hurt Danielle’s dog. Then a abusive boyfriend left the bar alone. She loved her dog very much and was seriously worried. Danielle was visibly upset. Jason’s friend asked Danielle if she had a place to stay. She said that she is okay. She decided that she had to go home and pick up her lovely dog. A friend gave Danielle his phone number and told her to call if she needed anything. At 2:15 a.m., Danielle entered their apartment. Jason snatched her phone and saw a number he did not recognize. Jason started attacking Danielle. He accused her of lying to him. Danielle was able to call secretly 911. The police officers heard her begging for help and Jason’s threats in the background. However, the police did not respond to Danielle’s call. At 3:20 a.m., Danielle also secretly called his bar friend. Danielle left a voice message. It was the last Danielle’s voice record. Jason issued an ultimatum to Danielle. He questioned Danielle why she called the number he saw on her phone. Danielle said she did not know. Then Jason strangled her and trampled her to death. Two days after the murder, Jason called the police. He asked them to check on her because they had quarreled. Detectives were sent to the Astoria apartment, located between 33rd and 28th avenues in Queens. When the investigators arrived, they found the open door.
