The police hunt intensified for the burning death killer of 19-year-old Mississippi teen Jessica Chambers as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) joined the probe. The federal investigators announced Dec. 16 that they will assist local and state authorities to the investigation.
Earlier this month, the police hunt started for the burning death killer of Jessica Chambers. On Dec. 6 at past 8 p.m., a young woman was reportedly found on Herron Road in Courtland while walking away from her burning vehicle with scalds almost 98 percent of her body. According to the Clarion Ledger, Coroner Gracie Gulledge said Chambers died because of thermal injury. The incident was immediately classified by the authorities as a homicide.
As the police hunt for the burning death killer intensified, the victim's father, Ben Chambers, who works for the Panola County Sheriff's Department but not a police officer, released a warning statement that the authorities are going after the suspect.
"To the person that done this: They're coming for you. They're working day and night, day and night, away from their own families," Ben Chambers said. He also added that he wanted the killer of her daughter be placed in solitary confinement when he or she is arrested and convicted.
"I promise as long as I have breath in me, I can talk to people and make sure they're not comfortable in there," the victim's dad said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Marshalls Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are all involved in the probe as the police hunt for the burning death killer intensified. The agencies' involvement was announced by Panola County Sheriff Dennis Darby, who is in-charge in Chambers' case.
As said by Courtland Fire Chief Cole Haley, Chambers made a dying statement to him, however he would not divulge what she said. The Daily Mail reported Chambers' sister told Reuters last week that the victim had identified her killer before dying but no further information were revealed.
While the police hunt for the burning death killer continues, the US Marshall Service has announced an $11,000 reward will be handed to the person that can provide vital information about the case. But on Wednesday, WREG reported that the reward was raised to $16,000 after the Mississippi Fire Marshall added $5,000.
