The Tragic Murder of Jessica Sanders

By: Catherine Gastelum

Jessica Sanders had it coming. Or at least that is what everyone thought
when she died in a tragic accident on August the 15 th. Rumor around school was
that she was drunk that night and that she had just come from a guys house. No
one knows who the guy was, but apparently there had been a quarrel between
them, and she had left in a hurry that night. She was that type of girl that went
partying every weekend, drank until she forgot the world, and would wake up in
some strange mans bed, happy, confused and yet full of regrets. This was a routine
for her, and the only thing that would keep men out of her pants was a 1K shopping
trip to Rodeo Drive. Just a month earlier she had received a shiny red convertible
corvette for her birthday, right after she had totaled her new 2013 BMW. This would
happen almost every day for her. At least the majority of the campus saved the
partying for the weekend. Rumor was that her parents knew about her behavior and
never did anything about it. Some say they even encouraged her attitude, but that
one was a bunch of bogus. She was an 18 year old senior going to Columbia on a
dance scholarship. She had everything. Half the guys on campus said she had either
had sex with them, had given them a blowjob, or had proceeded to act in some type
of sexual activities with them. All of her friends said she was the sweetest person on
earth. No one was surprised that she had every man on campus wrapped around
her little finger. With a body like that, who wouldnt be?
Jessica Sanders was 57, a size 6 in pants, and a medium top. Her shirts
would hug her chest and remain lose around her waist. She had the most perfect
hourglass shape that would turn heads, and strawberry blonde hair that would
water mens mouths. One of the freshmen girls stole her bra once, she was a 32 D,
she said that one day she hoped to grow breasts as large and perfect as Jessicas
one day. Most of the girls on campus were jealous of her, some of the others would
question their sexuality, and the rest, the small but outspoken few believed she was
a drunken whore who couldnt keep it in her pants and damned her to some fiery pit
in hell. Actually, everyone thought that, including her friends. So when Jessica
Sanders died tragically on the 15th of August, not many were surprised, or sad for
that matter. However, no one in the county could explain what made her crash her
car such a straight road without an ounce of alcohol in her system when she died. It
was thought that an animal could have jumped into the road and caused her to turn
her wheel in panic. It seemed very logical. However, it still didnt explain how she
had caused the car to crash if she had been dead even before the accident had
occurred.
Two weeks later bold black headlines of death circulated around the state
when the full toxicology report of her blood came though. The police set with a new
theory on Jessicas death went spiraling into plans of investigating the school. That

day no one will forget, because it was the day the deadlines read, 18 year old
Jessica Sanders Murdered with Rat Poison!
Approximately 4:35 in the early morning of August 15 th, 18 year old senior,
Jessica Sanders, died upon crashing into the dividers of the 91 freeway at around 90
mph. Just yesterday, Coroner John Milinsky released new evidence not only showing
that Jessica Sanders had been dead before the impact, but her blood scan had
shown a large amount of rat poisoning in her system. This now leads for the local
police department in charge of the investigation to take on a new approach. Chief
Carl Harris commented, With the new evidence given to us by the coroner, we
have taken into consideration the death of Jessica Sanders may in fact be a
Homicide. Along with the new evidence given by the coroner, police officials are
looking over old evidence found in Ms. Sanders car, including a torn Chambord High
varsity letter which was originally believed to belong to Ms. Sanders. However, after
talking with Varsity cheer coach Lisa Truman on the matter, cheer letters where
triangular, rather than circular like the letter found in Ms. Sanders car. When I saw
the letter, I knew immediately that there had been someone else in that car, at
some point in time. Our letters are gold embroidered with the names of the girls, in
fact, Ms. Sanders was supposed to pick up her letters from me earlier that week and
had failed to do so, stated Mrs. Truman. At this point, the police are questioning all
Juniors and Seniors at Chambord for more information that could be helpful in their
investigation.

Look, the sooner the police find the person who murdered Ms. Sanders, the
sooner the cheerleading retreat will be rescheduled. If you are really eager to get
your retreat back Ms. Gregson, I suggest you fully cooperate with the police in their
investigation,
