Police have just arrived at an RV site to complete a welfare check after they received a concerning call from a frantic employer who believes something bad just happened to the woman she was on a call with.
SPEAKER_18Oh, it's hot there. Yeah, something's burning. They're like 120 degrees now. So you wanted to turn the burn that's all murdered.
SPEAKER_00What seemed like a routine check took a dark turn when officers stepped into the RV and found it burning hot, with 26-year-old Jamie Wilson spray deceased inside, unnaturally tangled in her bed sheets.
SPEAKER_16Oh, she's right there on the bed.
SPEAKER_00As the detectives began the murder investigation, they were met with more questions than answers, but the deeper they looked, they realized the killer was far closer to home than they first thought.
SPEAKER_11I thought it was weird that he didn't like acknowledge me at all. Someone's ordering pizza, they know the pizza guy's coming.
SPEAKER_05I had a chance to talk with him, and he shared something a little bit different. What did he expect?
SPEAKER_00She had just ended a job interview call with 25-year-old Jamie Wilson Spray, but not deliberately. She described that during their phone interview, Jamie suddenly screamed before the phone cut off. And that's when she immediately called 911. What the first responders thought was a normal welfare check would in a few moments turn into one of Washington's most disturbing cases.
SPEAKER_02No windows you can see through. I mean she probably would take her uh vehicle to work, right? You'd think she'd take her vehicle to work.
SPEAKER_16Yeah. Again, unless she was with somebody. And here I'll let you listen because uh I can hear it vibrating in there.
SPEAKER_19That's no good. It's vibrating. That's probably enough to make entry, huh?
SPEAKER_16Yeah. Let's see if the door is open now. It's locked.
SPEAKER_19Police department.
SPEAKER_16Jamie. See if he has a key.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I'm welcome.
SPEAKER_00When the cops heard Jamie's phone ringing out inside the trailer, but no sign of her. They had enough reason to make forced entrance into the caravan, yet they weren't prepared for what was about to meet them inside.
SPEAKER_16Okay, I'll follow up more with you later on this, but uh at this point I'm I'm trying to figure out how to get in that trailer. 0566, can you come up here to 70s? He says he has a key in Lewiston. I'm like, we're not gonna wait. Wonder if there'd be one somewhere.
SPEAKER_19We're gonna get another up here 70s.
SPEAKER_16Maybe bring the halligan? Or do you want to pop that window? Oh my god here.
SPEAKER_18Oh, it's hot in the shit there. Smoky? Uh kinda. Yeah, something's burning. Burner's on.
SPEAKER_16There's an open window. We haven't found anybody yet. I will call you back.
SPEAKER_19I think the area I can't see is back to the left here for the most part.
SPEAKER_16Yeah. She is uh he called me again.
SPEAKER_18So you wanted this uh trailer to burn down?
SPEAKER_16That's what I'm wondering. Hey, there's some keys right there on the counter. Can you reach them? That would that would get us in.
SPEAKER_02What's that say that?
SPEAKER_16Her keys are right there on the on the end of the table.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_16We can grab those. Uh you gotta ask. I wondered when it was all s kind of uh sweaty on the windows. I was like a chair right below you can oh I think you did. Oh, she's right there on the bed.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_16No, doesn't look like it.
SPEAKER_07Is she in there? Yeah Bullman four six nine. Have medic step that we're having a medical emergency.
SPEAKER_19She's got lipidity on her arms.
SPEAKER_16Yeah. The stove's stove was on.
SPEAKER_19Yeah, it's like there's like 120 degrees in there.
SPEAKER_16Like someone was trying to burn it down. Okay, what I think.
SPEAKER_07The gas was on?
SPEAKER_19The stove was on. The burner was on. That's like it's like 120 degrees in there. So you burn burn it.
SPEAKER_00At first, the cops thought Jamie was passed out from the fumes or a substance she took, but as they waited for medical services to arrive, they spotted marks on her neck, the same marks that appear when someone gets strangled, along with signs of a sexual assault. But before starting the homicide investigation, the cops had to take Jamie's dog away from the scene, and most importantly, get Jamie medical help.
SPEAKER_04It sounds like we were on a welfare check. I just got to work and they someone had called. She'd been on the phone with someone, they heard some screaming bloody murder, and then the line went dead. Um, and then we'd been looking for him for about an hour and a half, finally found her, and looked like they tried to burn the apartment down. And Ryan they thought it was probably a strangulation in this trailer. So fire's working on her right now, but um we thought she was deceased at least when we got here. Come here, come here.
SPEAKER_14I gotcha. I got you, buddy.
SPEAKER_18Alright, come on, dear. Oh, I got the dog out. Alright, come on. Yeah, Doug's gonna come. You're okay.
SPEAKER_14You're okay.
SPEAKER_01I'll give you the flashlight back.
SPEAKER_14Alright, I'm gonna pick you up so it's a little easier, okay?
unknownAlright. Way over there.
SPEAKER_08Alright, I got you. Alright.
SPEAKER_07Alright. Yep, thank you.
SPEAKER_05So probably the best way to do this without doing a lot of stuff is just to go straight up and slide it out.
SPEAKER_17Slide down. I think that stuff out.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I think if we lift her up and then pull it out.
SPEAKER_17Yeah, that's fine. I can grasp it's hard to probably pick up and point straight up.
SPEAKER_00Once the scene was secured and Jamie was receiving medical help, the medics informed the cops on scene that Jamie's pulse had completely stopped, declaring her deceased on scene, which confirmed a murder investigation. It was time for the cops to start questioning the neighbors, and what they would uncover was about to send them headfirst into a far more complex case. Now, imagine seeing so much more. Well, that's why we went all out and decided to create channels in every niche, which are still based on true crime for you to enjoy. I mean, who doesn't like seeing people's reactions like these? From no commentary to just interrogation, because I know some of you guys hate that, but that's not the end. We really enjoy what we are building, so we have an exclusive Patreon community where they get first hand access to anything we post and all uncensored footage and images. And some of the things are truly horrifying.
SPEAKER_08Hi, I'm sorry to bother you. Oh, sorry. Come on, honey, get it.
SPEAKER_15Get in here. Yes, ma'am.
SPEAKER_10Um, so I am contacting ya. Um there was a major incident um behind ya, and I was curious and come here, Jesus, come on.
SPEAKER_14Damn it, come here. Get in here, let me get my shoes. Okay. You're a pain in the butt. Okay, now what?
SPEAKER_10That's okay. Um, so there was a major incident in the trailer nearby, and I was curious if you heard or saw anything this afternoon. No, nothing. Nothing. Okay.
SPEAKER_15Also, I did see all the red lights and everything. I peeked out the window, but no, I didn't hear anything. Okay. What was it?
SPEAKER_10Um, somebody has passed away. So, um we're just trying to get to the bottom of what occurred. So, um didn't hear anything doing? And I'm sorry, what's your name again? My name is Dean. Dean. And Dean, um, what is your phone number?
SPEAKER_15What's yours?
SPEAKER_10Uh 911. Um, well, thanks for your time. Sorry to bug you. Have a better evening. Yeah, I'm on. I knew something happened. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_15No, no, no, I'm just no, I'm just saying, you know, I just was right there. Like, you know, the in Moscow with the kids that got killed. You know, it's only seven miles here.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, it's a crazy world we live in.
SPEAKER_15It is. That's why I stayed in myself and my idiot dog.
SPEAKER_09Your dog sounds is sweet.
SPEAKER_15She just loves everybody.
SPEAKER_09She I can tell. She is a sweet, sweet dog.
SPEAKER_15Did you even let her climb on you?
SPEAKER_09I I love dogs. I don't it doesn't bother me at all.
SPEAKER_15So do I. Uh what was your name? Heidi. Heidi.
SPEAKER_10Hi. Um, my name's Heidi Lamley. I'm a police officer at the city of Hullman. Sorry to bother you. Um, we had a major incident occur uh with one of your neighbors this evening.
SPEAKER_09Oh.
SPEAKER_10And so I was hoping to find out if you guys heard or saw anything. Okay. Sorry. That's okay.
SPEAKER_12I thought you were some church studies, I saw. Oh no!
SPEAKER_10Sorry.
SPEAKER_12Uh uh, yeah. Um just been chilling, watching TV, playing some video games. It's my day off type of thing.
SPEAKER_10Have you been home all day?
SPEAKER_12All I went to the grocery store around I was back by five.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Um, do you know your neighbor that's kind of kitty corner to you in the white trailer?
SPEAKER_12Uh those ones, no, the ones the they have the siding tucked up to that fence, the this guy's fence on the back side, or I think so, yeah. Uh all I know is really that that siding up took and off in the last windstorm. Okay. That's about it.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_00The police were having no luck with the neighbors until a red car arrived on scene, and the woman inside told the cops something that would set the investigation back into motion.
SPEAKER_07Hi. I'm off screamer. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Uh so you live in the the black and white imagine.
SPEAKER_07The the black imagine.
SPEAKER_01Number seven.
SPEAKER_07Okay, what time did you leave?
SPEAKER_01Um, I don't know exactly what time I left. I got to the gym at 5.55 because I paid for parking, so the tank timestamp's on there. Um maybe like a little bit before that, maybe like 10-15 minutes before that.
SPEAKER_07So you were at the gym 5.55. So tell me from like just before you left until you get to the gym.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so actually the pizza got delivered as I was changing to go to the gym, so like it all was within like a pretty close time frame. Okay. Um, and then I got out there because I know their numbering's kind of weird, so I like stuck my head out and told the guy where to go, but I gave him the wrong direction and I told him to go that way. He got sent back this way, so the neighbor next to me should also know about the pizza. Okay. Um, and then they came back and delivered it to the house. Um your house. No, to the other house, the one that's on the screen. So it should be six. So they cracked So the White One. Okay. So the phone the pizza went to the mallet. To the to the white RV directly next to me.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_01Um, and then I changed, and I think it was like a little bit after the pizza got delivered that I heard the scream.
SPEAKER_07Do you do you remember what pizza was it like?
SPEAKER_01It was Domino's.
SPEAKER_07Domino's?
SPEAKER_01Delivery driver case. Um, it was white. I didn't get to see like the entire car, but it it was a white car.
SPEAKER_07Was the pizza person still here when you heard the scream, or were they gone?
SPEAKER_01They had left. I don't know. I mean, I didn't see their car in the window anymore. And like, I saw them go up to the door because I watched him. I feel really bad for them because their the numbers aren't on there, so I watched him go to the neighbor's the wrong neighbor's house. Um, and then I saw that neighbor point him into the right direction of the right house. And then I saw him walk over to the right house and go in. Or like go around the corner.
SPEAKER_07And when did you hear the scream shortly after?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was like shortly after the piece of I like I said, I couldn't really make out what kind of scream it was. I figured it was like an excited scream. I saw that the neighbor had a visitor, which she normally doesn't have.
SPEAKER_07Um we're talking about the mallard.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the white one, right? So she She normally doesn't have anyone in there. It's usually just her. Um it's just like her and her truck. Um, but I saw that she had like somebody else there, and it was like a red SUV. Um, I think it might have been her significant other. I saw them like move their RV the day that like she got here, and it was the RV and then another car. Well, the RV with the truck, and then that red car had moved her in, and I did see the guy, and they like kissed, so I'm guessing it was like her significant other.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_01And I didn't know if it was like an excited scream or like a scary scream.
SPEAKER_07Okay. So it's a red SUV?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was like Maroon.
SPEAKER_00Jamie wasn't known in the neighborhood to have any visitors over or a partner. So detectives had one major question. Who was the visitor in her home?
SPEAKER_07You saw the visitor?
SPEAKER_01I didn't see him, but I I mean when he I saw him drive the car when she dropped when he dropped her off here. So I know that it was a dropped her off today? No, like when she moved in. She moved in a little bit ago. Like I think like within the last like month and a half month. She hasn't been here for very long. So I like just happened to be home when she was pulling the RV in.
SPEAKER_07Oh when you a month ago.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Uh describe that guy to me.
SPEAKER_01Um, I didn't really see him super duper well because like the RV windows sit at a certain angle, so like I didn't see his face very well. I'm gonna be honest, he was like bending over a lot, so I got a great shot of his butt and nothing else. Um I mean he seemed uh he's taller than her, darker hair.
SPEAKER_07I think that's all the questions I got. So I'm sure somebody's gonna talk to you.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_13Should I just stick around?
SPEAKER_07Uh you can go home.
SPEAKER_13Okay.
SPEAKER_07If you want to, but probably park my car somewhere else. Uh, I would probably just drive around.
SPEAKER_00The woman explained that Jamie, or someone staying in her caravan, had ordered dominoes. The delivery driver accidentally knocked on her door first, and she directed him to Jamie's caravan instead. Shortly after, she heard a scream. When she looked outside, she noticed the same red SUV parked near Jamie's home that had been there on the day she moved in, along with the tall man with brown hair. However, she couldn't provide any further details about the visitor. With this new information, the detectives had to regroup and plan their next move. It was now clear that someone had been in Jamie's house the day she was murdered, someone she clearly knew. But they were met with a hurdle that would stall this investigation.
SPEAKER_05She is supine with her head at the head of the trailer up here, her feet down away from the head of the trailer. She's got scratches uh on her left neck here, and she has three distinct scratches. Like three finger uh well, like fingernail marks right here on her right side. She's unconscious and uh discover her the stove is on, and there's a pan on the stove. Uh Ryan says it's like 120 degrees in there. Um there's burnt material in front of the stove, so don't know if he was, you know, suspect is trying to burn the thing down. Okay. So paramedics pour out, they do CPR for near an hour, probably. Um called death at 1741 58. Before they entered, or before we entered. So I turned off the tanks. Oh yeah, Doug turned off the tanks, but the stove has been left alone. So stove hasn't touched the stove. So uh so medics call time of death at 1941-58. Um we need a search warrant for the trailer. Um, but probably a search warrant for his home too. Right. So so we need search warrants and all that stuff, but as far as curling this scene, we need a search warrant for the trailer. Gary Jones is gonna help us out with a fire investigation just so we can see to figure out what is it we can say happened with this burnt material.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Um, and so we'll at least we'll have that. He's gotta write their own.
SPEAKER_02Well, we'll probably have to have somebody here almost all night.
SPEAKER_05Oh, Brock of Monsieur. So, yes, we need to do that in the morning. Yes, that is not gonna happen tonight. Searching the trailer's not gonna happen tonight. We gotta do that in the morning. But we do need we probably need to get her out of here. Um I don't want to leave her out here all night. No, no. Um, okay. So we need to get her documented and everything as best as possible. I'm thinking that uh if we have Scotty come out, Scotty can come out and do photos for us. Yeah. Maybe he can take photos for us. Or I mean I don't care if you guys want to do it, but I don't know how to use that goddamn camera. I mean, I know how to use it well enough, but I don't even know how to use it as a full-on DSLR.
SPEAKER_00Um Because the police department had no warrants yet, they were unable to bring out the forensics team to start collecting evidence. Yet one thing they were able to notice was three scratch marks on Jamie's neck, meaning whoever did this to her would have her DNA under their fingernails. But this was useless information until forensics collected and processed DNA samples. With time slipping away, detectives know they can't wait any longer. So the detectives decided to try to track the Domino's delivery guy, and this is where things start to take a concerning turn.
SPEAKER_07No. Okay. Uh I need to track down a delivery driver that made a delivery earlier because I need to talk to him. He's not in trouble. And I don't know who it is. Can you look up an order or something?
SPEAKER_11Yeah, I only started a couple months ago, so I'm gonna go ask my manager to make it. Okay.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so I'm trying to track down the delivery driver. Not in trouble. Uh but I need to ask him some pretty sensitive questions. Uh can you look up an order and tell me who that driver was?
SPEAKER_17Uh you have a it uh they said it was like a white sedan.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. I just need to talk to them. They're not. In any trouble. Yeah.
SPEAKER_17So I have some details and anything you want to quickly on.
SPEAKER_07Uh he delivered to a house and we just need to know what he saw.
SPEAKER_17Okay. So it would have probably it was recent, right?
SPEAKER_07Yeah, today. Probably around 530, between 5 and 530?
SPEAKER_17Okay. Uh what was that? Is it a specific address or like a general?
SPEAKER_07I can give you an address.
SPEAKER_17Oh, sweet. That was addressed.
SPEAKER_07Uh 605 Fisk? Okay. F-I-S-K. Okay.
SPEAKER_00The Domino's manager seemed to be hesitant to help the cops, but after a while, he agreed to cooperate and check the database.
unknownThe driver in question is on a delivery right now.
SPEAKER_17He'll be back in the last eight or nine minutes if we want to talk to him in person.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. So again, he's not in trouble. I just need maybe like five or ten minutes of his time. So but yeah, it's worth me waiting.
SPEAKER_17Okay, cool. So you want to talk to him in uh in your car?
SPEAKER_07Yeah, just where it's quieter. So I'll I'll just be sitting in my car. Okay, thanks, man.
SPEAKER_00When the driver returned from a delivery, he revealed something vital to the cops.
SPEAKER_07Uh I have some pretty sensitive questions to ask you.
SPEAKER_11Okay.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so you're not in trouble.
SPEAKER_11Right.
SPEAKER_07Uh nobody's complained about you.
SPEAKER_11Okay.
SPEAKER_07I just need to see what you saw on something.
SPEAKER_11Uh okay.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_11I'm assuming something happened at that place then.
SPEAKER_07More than likely. Uh you'll Okay.
SPEAKER_11Yeah.
SPEAKER_07So Okay, so earlier today you made a delivery? Yes. To the trailer park? Yes. Okay. Uh do you remember that one? Yes. Okay. Um just walk me through what that that delivery until you left.
SPEAKER_11Okay. So I go uh well, down Whitman across upstate, down Fitz to the trailer park top row.
SPEAKER_13Yep.
SPEAKER_11Um I'm looking at the numbers, it starts with one, it goes down the last like semi-mobile home, you know, but what's I'm talking about? It's like four or something, right?
SPEAKER_13Okay.
SPEAKER_11So I'm counting the numbers, and then I see three campers, and they don't have numbers on them, so I'm like, okay. So I count spaces, let's say this is five, maybe this is six. So I go down, I can't see any numbers, and there's no like markings on the electric boxes, like some other parts have. So I call the customer, uh, called her once, didn't answer. I think her name was Jenny. Sorry, TV J maybe, but called her again, didn't answer. And as I'm about to get in my car and knock on, I believe she said seven, um, the lady comes outside, her neighbor says, Are you looking for six? And I said, Yeah. And she said, It's over there. And I thought she went the other direction, so I go down, I knock on eight. He's like, What are you looking for? It said six, he says that way. So I turn around, go back to six, and as I pull up, or as I walk over, a reddish, brownish truck, I believe, possibly SUV, pulls up. A tall guy with glasses, light brown, I'm almost turned a beard, comes out, uh, goes into the trailer, and I'm I'm like right behind him. I don't know if he sees me or not, but as soon as like I hear him close the door, I'm at the door, I knock, he opens the door back up, and I say, Lady's name. And he says, Yeah, and then takes the pizza. I thought it was weird that he didn't like acknowledge me at all. Do you think if someone's ordering pizza, they know the pizza guy's coming, and be like, okay, this is for me. That's usually what happens. But he just went straight in there. So I just went behind him, knocked on the door, and he opened. Wasn't really friendly, but I said the name, he said he had 6'3. He was fairly told. So 6'3 would probably be my last mid-5-6. Late 30s to mid-40s. I almost want to say I remember him as nearly a redhead, but I don't want to say that for sure. He definitely had lighter brown hair glasses.
SPEAKER_00The delivery guy's version of events exactly matched up to the statement given by the woman in the red car, both describing a tall white man with brown hair. Yet during this interview, the team back at the crime scene also received something vital. Neighbors living on the road approaching the caravan site provided the cops with their ring camera footage, providing them with evidence that would lead them straight to the killer. The first clip showed the red SUV driving down to the caravan site, followed by the second clip where it shows the Domino's driver's white car following soon after to deliver the pizza, confirming the turn of events with video footage. But something else it provided the detectives with was the license plate of the red SUV, which was registered to 36-year-old Jacob Spray, Jamie's ex-husband. Yet, because the detectives didn't have any forensic evidence strong enough to justify an arrest, they had to tread lightly. If they alerted Jacob before they were able to detain him, he could flee. The cops were tense as they arrived at Jacob's property, knowing that one wrong question could ruin everything they had worked for up until this point.
SPEAKER_06Okay, I wouldn't shoot anything.
SPEAKER_04You want my weapons idea?
SPEAKER_06Well, I have a weapon pocket knife.
SPEAKER_04Okay, can you get it in there for me?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I'm not. What's going on with Jamie? I need to seriously need it because you guys got me freaking the fuck out. Because you called me, I was just getting off work, and now I can't get a hold of her. I called her sister, and she won't answer my call. All she said was, I can't talk to you right now. And I'm just like literally in tears, freaking the fuck out, and I just don't know what the fuck's going on, and you guys aren't really being forward with me.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, we're trying to make contact with her and figure out if she's okay, I guess, that's the people concerned, so that's kind of why we're following up with everyone.
SPEAKER_06I I talked to her today. I told you I gave you guys my timeline when it was like 351. Okay. Like that I had talked to her. So So you you talked to her at 351, but you haven't seen her today? No, I we don't really like cross paths. It's been kind of that thing. Gotcha. When um What is the hell is going on?
SPEAKER_04We're trying to we're trying to get a hold of her. She must be. Was she like arrested? What's going on? No, no, no, no. Um, not arrested. We're trying to locate her or whatnot, and someone was concerned about her, so we haven't heard from her and we're trying to figure out what what's going on.
SPEAKER_06Uh she's got like a group of new friends. My phone would help me better. Um but you said the truck was there and you said you heard the phone. So she doesn't really leave. Gotcha. She can't leave home without either one, really. So what the fuck, man? What are you trying to tell me right now?
SPEAKER_04I'm not I'm not telling you anything right now. I'm just kind of trying to figure out what's going on so I can give the officers their way to. I just got here. I just said, hey, can you come talk to me?
SPEAKER_06She did hook up with a girl in that trailer park. We lived there like over the summer. Um uh this last summer. Nah, like um, and uh there was a girl that she used to hook up with, so and it was like a struggle in our marriage, but she was always like kind of bi. So like, I mean, honestly, I know it's stupid to think, but it's better than somebody else. Like some dude. Like it's like, uh, like I can't hear what they're saying.
SPEAKER_05Sounds like he's acting like he doesn't know anything happened. Yeah, that's what I was getting from my Andreas.
SPEAKER_04So I'm just trying to figure out what happened today. What did she send you, or what was the conversation at you said 351, is that in the after this afternoon? It was this afternoon. Okay, what was the conversation then?
SPEAKER_06We were just talking. Like we were just uh I just sent her a thing about that song. Um it's like uh it's a real popular song right now, uh Don't Take Her From Me. Like, like God can have, God can give it, God can take it. And I said this song will always haunt me. And then I was like, and then the other one from uh we were always on road trips, and it says from strangers to friends to lovers to lovers to friends to strangers, and I always would tell her I never wanted that for us. We're still like cordial. Yeah, like we're still chill. Like, I did call the police on her one time because she like she had uh threatened me with domestic violence. Like she was like gonna stage it.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_06Um and so she had like showed up here to like she said to get her dog, but it was the same day that she had like threatened me on TV, and she showed up and I called the police and then she got all mad at me for that. But that's like other than that, we've really been like chills.
SPEAKER_04And you said you when you received those messages, where were you at? I was in Moscow, gosh. When did you come back to point?
SPEAKER_06Um six, maybe six thirty.
SPEAKER_00Whilst the cops were trying to ask questions to do with the timeline of Jacob's day, instead of answering plainly, he kept going into how hard the divorce has been on him and how he hates it, which would become a recurring theme. Yet what he wasn't aware of was that he was unknowingly painting a motive for the cops.
SPEAKER_06Are you gonna tell me what the fuck this is about? Like, do I need to go to the bank and get bail money or what the fuck?
SPEAKER_04Um But I've been just trying to figure out what where you where you've been, where she's been, what's the what's going on with with everything?
SPEAKER_06She hasn't responded to me since you got a hold of me because like I I said I hadn't talked to her. When did the when did the officer get a hold of you? I'd have to look at my phone, but he called me and I was still working.
unknownYeah. And uh so I it went aside. I have my headphones in.
SPEAKER_06Oh I'm fucking working. He left me a voicemail, so when I got off, once I got home, I think I was I think I was like pulling in, and I actually called him back or I checked the voicemail. Oh, once you got home? I think so. Okay. Um I might have called him when I was still in the parking lot, but I I feel like I called him when I got here. Gotcha. Because I was just like curious, I'm like, who is this person? And um he was like, You got keys to that trailer? I was just like, won my wife said? And he's like, Yeah. And I was like, no. We agreed, I wouldn't have any. She's got a key set of keys, and um, I have a set down and listed. And I offered to because he was like, Well, we need to get in there. There was a disturbance, like a checking on the piece, and that was all I ever heard. And then I think you called me, or somebody called me, and said I can hear her phone ringing in there. And so now I'm worried because she was supposed to pick fix the propane thingy, like the propane reader, um, and it broke, and so I was thinking maybe she got like carbon oxide poisoning, but also I know she'd been hanging out with people, so I don't know like if she's like done some bad blow or something.
SPEAKER_00Interestingly, Jacob mentioned how Jamie's toxic gas indicator was broken, which was convenient as Jamie's trailer was found with the hob on full power. The comps noticed that the odds of making such a random comment was low, unless he knew that her hob was left on in the trailer.
SPEAKER_06And then I called my dad, uh, just because I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on. And uh nobody was talking to me, so what's your dad's name? Uh Randy. Randy? What'd you tell him about what's going on? Not much. I just needed to know what I should do and if I needed to get funny. Um because I thought I was gonna have to bail her out or something. Gotcha. So I was just trying to figure out like how he does it.
SPEAKER_04Gotcha. Um and you had so you had your phone, so you made a call to what time did you think you called Randy? Yep. What time did you call your dad? I don't know, what time is it now? Oh, 8 15. 35 minutes ago, 34. Gotcha. And so it sounds like last night everything was was cool. You guys weren't fighting or anything like that? No, everything was fine.
SPEAKER_06And we were fine today too. Everything was fine. Gotcha. Um like I literally texted her. I said, I got uh confirmation on our divorce paperwork. So like I'll go pay that on Friday. Um, so we're all good. She's like, Do I need to be there? I said, No, no, I guess it sounds to me. Like, I just have to go and show them the secret email, and we're good. And uh we'll have to go in front of a judge at some point, of course. But she told me she loved me. I said, You promise? He said, Yes. Like, I'm sorry, I'm kinda needy. Like, I still love her, even though she loved me. Like, I'm still like I've told her numerous times, I was like, we can't go back, but honestly, if she were to be like, I'll take it back. I'd fucking go back. I think it was just a stress of both of us, you know what I'm saying? Like, we just both were like in a position of this is about to be crazy, and can't I pull this off? Like, you know, good.
SPEAKER_00It might seem like nothing is progressing, but the goal for the detectives here was to discreetly secure a possible motive and try to catch Jacob out in his own story whilst he was still calm. Yet what the cops didn't know yet was that the last puzzle piece that they needed to arrest Jacob was laying with Jacob's dad.
SPEAKER_06I I don't want it, sure. Um, but she wants it, I love her, we'll do it. Do I, like I said earlier, if she were to be like, take me back, I would fucking do it in a heartbeat, even though it's like throwing my whole dignity and my everything away. But uh no. Like she was telling me today, she was saying that thousand bucks I gave her, she was like, I think I'm gonna use it and go to California. And I was just like, alright, fuck yeah, like you do you, have fun. Um I hate that you're going far away. Like she was like, move to California or just visit? So she said she was gonna move to Spokane um and stay with Danny, and then her and Danny were gonna go to California. He's like a California native, he's like a rich boy. Gotcha. Um and he's gay, so I really wasn't worried about it. I'm like, yeah, go be your roommates with him. Uh but uh yeah, that's what she was talking about today when we were chatting.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Um whilst the cops were speaking to Jacob, another officer parked down the road from Jacob's house received a call. And the information that was revealed changed this case completely.
SPEAKER_19Hi, that's Randy. Hi, Randy. This is Officer McNanny with the Pullman Police Department. Um, my dispatch said uh you had some information, so I was just giving you a call to follow up on that. Um, and just so you know that uh our calls are uh audio recorded. Um but uh what can you tell me your uh full name real quick?
SPEAKER_03My name is Randy C. Spray.
SPEAKER_19Okay. And so you're up in uh you're you're in Cordalane right now.
SPEAKER_03Is that what we're at the Cordelaine Casino right at the moment, but we're packing up. We're packing up to head back to Lewiston right now. Okay, so you live in Lewiston then? Yes.
SPEAKER_19Okay, okay, um, yeah, so can you uh can you tell me what you called her dispatch about?
SPEAKER_03My son called me about a half hour ago, and him and his wife uh are going through a divorce, and he called me and told me that he had killed her.
SPEAKER_19Okay. And this was a half hour ago he called you?
SPEAKER_03About a half hour, 45 minutes ago, yes. And he told me uh not to call the police, and I told him I would.
SPEAKER_19Okay. Did he say anything else about what happened or no?
SPEAKER_03He said just said that uh do not call the police. Um I killed my wife.
SPEAKER_19Okay, and he said he shot her?
SPEAKER_03I don't know what he did, honestly.
SPEAKER_19Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_03He just he just said he killed her.
SPEAKER_19Okay. How do you know it was uh your son that called?
SPEAKER_03I know my son. And uh and it was it was his it came up on caller ID, it was his phone.
SPEAKER_19Okay, and you recognized his voice?
SPEAKER_03Absolutely.
SPEAKER_19Okay. So did did he give you any other detail about uh what what he was doing or what what led up to this? No.
SPEAKER_03He just said he killed her, and for me not to uh not to call the police. Okay.
SPEAKER_00The cops just received exactly what they needed in order to proceed with detaining Jacob. So the officer who was on call to Jacob's dad discreetly informed the rest of the squad, putting the plan in motion. Yet it wouldn't go as planned.
SPEAKER_05Um and who else did you call tonight? I called my father. Okay, what did you tell your father?
SPEAKER_06Um, that I'm freaking out because the police called and that uh Jamie's not answering my phone calls, and I don't know what to do, and I asked him if he could call her and see if she's okay, and maybe she's just ignoring me and not like actually her. Okay. And he was at the casino, and I don't think he heard me because he was there in my court lane casino.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_06And so we were cutting in and out, so I don't think he heard me, and then the phone went dead. Okay.
SPEAKER_05Um what else did you talk to him about? That was a um how's your relationship with with uh with him? My best friend? Y your father's your best friend. Okay. My hero. He's your hero. Yeah. Dude, tell me about that.
SPEAKER_06Well, he's a vet. Um, you know, he uh worked his ass off in a lumber mill, which ended up breaking his body down. Oh wow. Um he had to get bone spurs removed out his neck where they had to pull his esophagus to the side and put a cage in on his shit. He's still going through pain. He's uh survived three different types of cancer. Wow. Um he's got the best fucking looking long in spite of all that, right? Uh yeah. He's got the best looking lawn. Yeah, he walks like this. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05But best fucking long. Yeah. You need somebody really respecting that. Yes. Um, yeah. So when uh when when Jamie had told you that she didn't want to be married anymore, um, did you talk with him at all?
SPEAKER_06Or oh yeah, we well, I go down there every weekend now. Yeah. It's lonely here. You know what I mean? Um nobody else lives with you here? Nope. Okay, gotcha. Um, and so yeah, like I go down there every weekend. And yeah, Fridays, I take care of whatever business I have to do here in town. I go down there. Um, I'll stay Friday night, Saturday night, I come back Sunday, you know, write some menus for work, um, touch up the apartment a little bit, like cleanly wise, and uh yeah, like the rest of the week. I'm just fucking watching Modern Family. Yeah. So like I had to switch it though. Jamie made me get a different account um because she goes, I fell asleep to that. I was like, Is that why I didn't find out how they had a baby? Yeah. I was like, I was trying to figure out how they had a baby. She's like, Yeah, that's my bad, like I just had a plan. Like, okay. I was like, Yeah, I'll stop now because I'm actually trying to watch it all the way through. So the cow's calling about Jamie, yeah, and I can't get a hold of her. I said, would you call? Like but I don't think he heard me because like he didn't say yes.
SPEAKER_05Uh uh uh From this moment on everything was about to switch So uh so that you know he had we we had been at we've had a chance to talk with him um and he shared something a little bit different that you had shared with him. Can you tell me a little more about that part of it though? What did he say? Well, he told us he told us something slightly different. Um and I I suspect you might know what he said differently.
SPEAKER_13I got this arm! Get on the ground!
SPEAKER_04Don't just grab it!
unknownDon't you grab it?
SPEAKER_04Do it now! I got this arm pin. That's our pin.

SPEAKER_15Dude, I'm done!
SPEAKER_00The chase was over, as Jacob Spray was arrested and formally charged with first-degree murder, along with a separate charge of first-degree rape, as investigators laid out the case against him for the killing of his ex-wife, Jamie Wilson Spray. Prosecutors argued that the motive was rooted in obsession and jealousy, claiming Jacob couldn't accept the end of their marriage and became increasingly controlling as Jamie tried to move on with her life. Jacob was found guilty, and in March 2025, the judge sentenced Jacob Spray to 26 years in prison, the maximum standard sentence allowed under Washington state law.
