Text messages expose murder plot: "I just dosed him"

Jade Janks, a woman from San Diego, was arrested and charged with the murder of her stepfather, Tom Merriman, after a friend called the police and claimed she confessed to drugging and strangling him. The investigation revealed that Janks had discovered nude photos of herself on Merriman's computer, leading her to seek help from a man known as "The Fixer" to get rid of him. However, the autopsy report showed that Merriman died from acute Zolpidem intoxication, casting doubt on the murder charges. Janks maintains her innocence, claiming it was an accident caused by Merriman's poor health and self-administered prescription drugs. The trial is ongoing.
