Off The Record
At The Age Of Three, I Was Aware That Jessie Was Malevolent; However, Nothing Could Have Prepared Me For Her Final Act
Since the day my daughter Jessie was born, I had been concerned about her.
Her little sister Codie, who I had a year later, steamed ahead of her since she was delayed to reach baby milestones. Even before Jessie, Codie walked.
Jessie was cunning, too.
Do not misunderstand me. I am aware that every mother has returned home to discover a toy her child stole from a store, concealed in a bag or stroller, but Jessie stole all the time. And anything she could get her hands on, not just toys.
She would then fabricate it. She was just three when she did it for the first time.
Her misbehavior became more nasty a few months later. She picked up a rock and struck Codie over the head while they were playing in the garden.
Jessie merely laughed as Codie shouted. She then sucked and wiped her hands in her sister’s blood.
Telling my aunt Karen, who I thought of as a second mother, what had happened made me tremble.
She advised, “Try not to worry about it.” She was clearly as worried as I was, though.
Due to her behavior, Jessie found it difficult to establish friends when she first started school.
When I finally got her evaluated, I discovered that she was lagging somewhat in her education.
However, I felt in my heart that it was much worse.
When Jessie got into her teens, her behavior got out of control.
She fled to be with her boyfriend when she was fifteen. She cursed at us and then called the police when Karen and I went around there to try to reason with her.
I thought I had lost my daughter entirely.
Jessie gave birth to her own daughter, Madilyn, when she was twenty years old.
Motherhood didn’t change her the way I had hoped. Compared to Jessie, Karen and I spent more time caring for Madilyn.
Madilyn and Jessie moved in full-time with Karen after Jessie became pregnant a second time. Karen was already worn out with all the help she was providing.
In her late sixties, Karen was a well-liked and respected greyhound trainer. She was entitled to tranquility in her later years, not to have Jessie and her children barging into her house.
In addition, Jessie was impolite, ungrateful, and occasionally menacing.
I volunteered to assist Karen in planning the funeral for my grandmother, Karen’s mother. In order for us to go and choose a coffin, I asked Jessie if she could watch Madilyn alone for one afternoon.
“I’m not staying. Take Madilyn with you,” she said.
Then she sneered: “While you’re there, pick a coffin for yourselves.”
That’s when my daughter felt like the epitome of wickedness.
Social services were useless, despite our pleas for assistance. As their differences worsened over time, Karen eventually helped Jessie move out by renting her a property.
I was somewhat concerned about the circumstances. James, my 20-year-old son, was too preoccupied with his job to accept my invitation to spend a few days with Karen.
My daughter Codie brought heartbreaking news to my home a week later.
“Mum, Karen’s dead,” she sobbed.
Detectives told me when I got to the residence that Jessie had phoned the police after finding Karen dead. She had expressed to the police that she thought it was a heist gone wrong.
However, I noticed blood smeared all over the walls as the policeman led me around the house to try to figure out what was gone.
I suddenly came to the terrifying realization that Jessie had done this. I had no doubt about it.
A little more than a week later, Jessie’s boyfriend showed up with a blood-stained hammer that he had discovered at their house. Jessie was taken into custody shortly after and accused of killing Karen.
I was still in astonishment, despite my suspicions. This was Jessie’s way of repaying Karen and myself for everything we had done to try to make her life easier.
As Jessie awaited trial, I found it difficult to handle. James, my son, who had just turned 21, did the same.
“Mum, I blame myself,” he wept. “If I’d stayed at Karen’s, it wouldn’t have happened.”
I attempted to console him, but the guilt persisted.
He was killed one night when he drove too fast, veered off the road, and into a tree while en route to his new girlfriend’s residence.
It was driving weariness, according to the police. Jessie killed her brother, just as she killed Karen, in my opinion.
James bent too quickly because he was worried, tired, and sad. Jessie was solely to blame.
Jessie entered a guilty plea to Karen’s murder in 2021.
I found out that Jessie and Karen had a disagreement on childcare during the sentencing, which was conducted via Zoom due to COVID-19.
Jessie then sneaked up behind Karen with a hammer as she was sitting down to watch her favorite show, Home and Away.
Before she ultimately tied a plastic bag over Karen’s head, she had hit her at least a dozen times.
Her daughter had been in the adjacent room when she left the house. Jessie stopped at KFC and for cigarettes on her way home. She then concealed the bloodied hammer in a cupboard in her daughter’s room after throwing it in a bag.
According to Jessie’s defense, her traumatic upbringing served as a mitigating factor.
If so, she caused it herself. Karen and I had gone above and above to support her throughout her life.
After being convicted of murder, Jessie received a sentence of 18 years in prison with a 13-year non-parole period.
I’m not sure if my kid is a psychopath, sociopath, or just evil in general, but I’m certain that she can’t be saved.
Today, she is still the same girl who hit her younger sister in the head with a rock.
I lost the wrong child when James died. Jessie ought to have done it.
