About this listen

This podcast provides an overview of a disturbing true crime case that unfolded in Katy, Texas, in March 2023, resulting in the murder of 14-year-old Jessica Lynn Carter. The narrative chronicles Jessica's disappearance and the subsequent discovery of her body, detailing the initial investigation that considered her ex-boyfriend and her mother, Cheryl Anne Meadows, as suspects. A pivotal twist is revealed when investigators uncover Cheryl’s elaborate deception: her supposed girlfriend, Kendall Bishop, was entirely fabricated. The texts explain how Cheryl’s desperation over financial issues and the desire to attend a Taylor Swift concert with her fictional partner led her to attempt to sell Jessica on the dark web, ultimately resulting in her daughter's strangulation when Jessica discovered the scheme.
