Shoe Left at the Water's Edge: The Murder of Jessica Andrews

A dry burgundy leather flat stood upright in the mud beside Jessica Andrews's body at Peller Marsh - dry inside, on the wrong side of her, and unmoved by the water that had soaked everything else. That single forensic detail was recorded in 2001 but ignored for two decades; how could a shoe carried separately from the body point to a killer who never left the case?

In this episode, we walk through the timeline from Jessica's routine morning walks to the discovery at dawn and the omissions in the original investigation, following the threads that were missed for years and the clue that finally reopened the file: was the answer hidden in a dry insole and an unlocked gate?

Person: Jessica Andrews
Date: March 9-11, 2001
Location: Peller Marsh Preserve; Sutter Lane, Cullerton
Investigator: Detective Sergeant Hank Pruitt
Forensic Examiner: Barbara Elms

- Jessica Andrews was 46 years old and took the same two-mile morning walk every day, stopping ten minutes on a bench outside the Tulloch County Library.
- Her boyfriend Tom Alvarado reported her missing at 6:40 p.m. on March 9, 2001; her body was found 48 hours later at dawn on March 11, 2001.
- Raymond Long, age 61, found the shoe and Jessica’s body before seven a.m. on March 11, 2001 while on his usual visit to Peller Marsh.
- Forensic examiner Barbara Elms noted the shoe’s insole was dry with no marsh sediment, concluding the shoe had been carried to the bank separately from the body.
- Neil Henderson, age 44, was assigned and signed a work order to install a lock on the 30-inch utility gate between Jessica’s backyard and the adjacent duplex in September 2000, but the lock was never installed.
