Before they leave for work the next morning, he asks her not to return home. He assumes that she would go stay with her parents in Annapolis.

Jody's Home (Approx. Location)

Jody works her normal shift at the Eastern Savings Bank in Hunt Valley where she is employed as a receptionist.

Jody enjoys the evening with friends at Mt. Washington Tavern—a bar she frequented.

At about 2:00 a.m. Jody drives the bar employee home to the Roland Park area, an act that is considered very out of character for Jody, as she was known to take extra precautions for her own safety.

After dropping off the employee, Jody drives to an ATM to withdraw money and then stopped to buy beer.

Around 3:00 a.m. she parks in the Caldor parking lot which is around the corner from her home and three miles from the Mt. Washington Tavern.

As she is sitting in her car, parked in the dark, snowy lot, she makes a couple of phone calls—including one to the Mt. Washington Tavern to speak to the manager who says he is too busy to talk. She then calls and spoke with the boyfriend of a woman who had been a former roommate of Jody’s. The content of her conversation is not known.

The man exits his car and approaches Jody's car before she rolls down her drivers side window. It is unclear whether or not Jody knew the man. After a brief exchange, the man returns to his vehicle.

The bullet tears through Jody’s back and severs her spine. Eyewitnesses working at the Giant supermarket across York Road and another person making a delivery to the Boston Market hear the gunshot. They look out into the dark, snowy night to see Jody driving across York Road and into the Giant parking lot before her car circles and coasts to a stop after hitting a curb between the Boston Market and the Firestone Tire and Service Center.

While on the phone with police, eyewitnesses continue watching Jody's car and the suspect. The witnesses describe the suspect as a black male in "his mid-20s to early 30s, between 5'10" and 6'1", weighing between 200 and 220 pounds." The witnesses add that the suspect was wearing a green fatigue-style or camouflage jacket.

The eyewitnesses notice that Jody is closely followed across York Road by her kiler. He stays back in the shadows waiting for Jody to die alone in her car.

Where Jody's Car Stopped

In an unhurried fashion—he reaches reaches in, and puts the car in park before reaching across her body, taking her purse and her mobile car phone.

By the time police are able to arrive to the scene, only moments after the witnesses called for help, Jody had already died.

A billboard is erected less than a mile away from where Jody was shot and killed in her car 20 years earlier.
