Kaitlyn Coones, an 18-year-old girl, did something unthinkable - she attacked her boyfriend's mother, Nicole Jones, with a rock and then strangled her to death. It was a horrific scene, one that nobody could have ever imagined. But what led to this brutal act of violence?
Well, it all started with Coones' troubled childhood. She had a history of running away from children's homes, and her actions were always a cause of concern for the authorities. In April 2020, when she went missing from a children's home in Canton, Ohio, the authorities were worried that she may have been kidnapped.
But that was not the case. Coones had actually met up with her boyfriend, 33-year-old Jonathon Jones, who had been ordered by the courts to stay away from her. Despite the court order, Jones secretly met with Coones at a local restaurant at night. He then drove them to his mother's home in Sylvania Township, a suburb of Toledo.
Unfortunately, Jones' mother did not approve of their relationship, so Coones had to hide from her by crawling through a window into Jones' bedroom. It was a tense situation, and Coones was willing to do anything to get rid of Nicole, who she saw as a threat to their relationship.
In fact, Coones even gave Jones an ultimatum - either he killed his own mother, or she would do it herself. She believed that Nicole was interfering in their relationship and wanted her gone. When Jones didn't fulfill her request, Coones took matters into her own hands and carried out the horrific act.
After killing Nicole, Coones and Jones fled to Mexico, hoping to escape the consequences of their actions. However, they were eventually caught by the authorities on May 8 in Chihuahua, Mexico, with Nicole's ID and credit cards in their possession.
It was then that Coones confessed to the police that it was her idea to murder Nicole all along. She believed that this act would bring her and Jones closer together as a couple. But her plan backfired, and both Coones and Jones were charged with murder.
During their trial, Coones' lawyers argued that she was a victim who was under the control of Jones. They also claimed that she couldn't have physically killed Nicole on her own and that there was no evidence that she had sent the message to the staff member at the children's home.
However, the judge didn't buy their arguments and sentenced Coones and Jones to life in prison with the chance of parole after 25 years. Nicole's family was devastated by the loss of their loved one, and they filed a civil lawsuit for wrongful death against Coones and Jones.
It was a tragic and senseless act of violence that left a void in Nicole's family that could never be filled. As her brother, Robert Jones, said, "There are no words that can describe the depth of our grief, the extent of our pain, or the magnitude of our loss."
