Episode Details

This source details the harrowing investigation and trial following the murder and dismemberment of Ashley Young by her acquaintance, Jared Chance. After Ashley’s mother reported her missing, a neighbor discovered a tarp leaking blood in a shared basement, leading police to find human remains hidden in a canvas bag and an Amazon box. Evidence revealed that the perpetrator’s parents assisted in a cover-up, even transporting boxes containing body parts in their personal vehicle. Although the defense argued the death was an accident, prosecutors presented a reciprocating saw with the victim's DNA and testimony of the defendant’s violent behavior. Ultimately, the jury found him guilty of second-degree murder, and the judge delivered a sentence of 100 to 200 years in prison. Despite the conviction, the family remains haunted because the victim's head, hands, and feet were never recovered.
