About this listen

 After returning to Urbana, Ohio, attempting to repair her relationship with her mother, and getting a small apartment on Light Street, 21-year-old Jessica Rae Sacco felt as though things may be looking up in her life, but she was missing one thing, companionship. She took to the internet to meet someone and it was here that she met 25-year-old fellow Juggalo, Matthew Puccio. In the Fall of 2011, Matthew came from Texas to Ohio to meet Jessica and ultimately moved into her small apartment with her against her mother's wishes. It didn't stop here, however, as Matt moved in two friends, Andrew and Candace Forney. Tensions rose in such a small toxic space with Jessica feeling as though she was a stranger in her own home having everyone against her. Two more people who the group met at the local library came to the apartment to stay, Chris Wright and Sharon Cook. This only worsened the tension, and the group decided they needed to get rid of Jessica, even though it was her home.
On the morning of March 30, 2012, Jessica's landlord made entry into the apartment to check on her, as her mom, Sue, had not been able to make contact with her for 8 days. Jessica's decomposing, partially dismembered body was located in the bathtub of the apartment. Her limbs had been scattered in various areas around Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Matthew and his four accomplices had fled to a city 85 miles away.
