On the afternoon of February 9th,

2023, 43-year-old Crystal McCrory Jones

was scheduled for a doctor's appointment

at the East Carroll Medical Clinic in Lake Providence, Louisiana.

When she failed to arrive and did not respond to calls or messages,

her husband, Tony Jones, contacted his neighbor,

who happened to be a deputy requesting a welfare

check at their home.

When Deputy Harris arrived, he noticed Crystal's vehicle parked in the driveway.

After receiving no answer at the door, he contacted Tony who provided instructions to enter

the house.

Inside the bedroom, Harris discovered Crystal lying on the bed with a pillow covering her face.

She had sustained a gunshot wound through the pillow, and a semi-automatic handgun was found

in her right hand. The initial assessment suggested suicide. However, as details emerged,

questions arose about the circumstances surrounding her death.

Was Crystal's death a tragic act of self-inflicted harm, or is there more beneath the surface?

This is her story.
