In a shocking turn of events, a 29-year-old woman from Indiana has been arrested for allegedly killing her stepfather with antifreeze in a convoluted scheme devised with her mother. Ashley Nicole Jones is now behind bars, facing charges of murder, attempted murder, burglary, and conspiracy.
The investigation into this disturbing case began when law enforcement was called to investigate a burglary at Jones’ mother’s home. During the investigation, officers discovered that two men, Steven White and Nathaniel Kane Napier, had committed the burglary under the direction and assistance of Jones. Jewelry and guns were stolen during the break-in.
It was during the course of this investigation that White made a shocking revelation. He told investigators that Jones’ mother had “murdered her husband by poisoning him somehow.” This revelation led to the seizure of Marsha Allen’s cellphone, where incriminating text messages between her and Jones were found, discussing the murder of Marsha’s husband, Harold Allen, by poisoning him.
Jones eventually confessed to ordering ethylene glycol, a toxic compound found in antifreeze, off the internet. However, she claimed that her mother had placed the poison in Harold’s drink. Ethylene glycol is known to be highly toxic and can cause death if ingested in sufficient quantities.
While Jones was taken into custody, her mother, Marsha Allen, was not immediately arrested. However, on the same day Jones was booked, relatives reached out to the police, expressing concern for Allen’s welfare as they were unable to reach her. Tragically, when police conducted a welfare check at her home, they found Allen deceased with no signs of violence.
The cause of Allen’s death has not been released, and a toxicology report is still pending. Authorities are awaiting the results, which typically take anywhere from two to six weeks.
This shocking case has sent shockwaves through the community, as the details of the murder scheme continue to unfold. It serves as a grim reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
