“It is one of the most despicable crimes I have seen in my 20 plus years”

Lt. Col. Brian Steffen, Covington Police, People.com., 18th of June 2018

Lt. Col. Brian Steffen of the Covington Police has said it will take two to three weeks for the toxicology reports to come in, and to determine Satchwell’s cause of death.

The 38-year-old Jones who was related to Satchwell had visited her recently and asked for some of her pain medication. Steffen believes the medication may have been what made her a target, but said that he could not comment further on an on-going investigation.

At the time her daughter, Amy, lodged a missing person's report, the Police had feared the terminally ill and depressed woman might have taken matters into her own hands.

Amy kept insisting a criminal hand was involved, explaining that her mother would never have left her dog alone in the house.

The primary suspect, Jones, is being held on a $1 million dollar bond and is scheduled for a court hearing on the 26th of June 2018.

It is not known how the two adult defendants pleaded. and the juvenile is being retained at the Campbell County Juvenile Detention Facility.

The Covington Police Department is still actively pursuing the investigation, with Detective Jess Hamblin heading the task force.
