The camera that condemned her: Jodi Arias and the perfect crime

The camera that condemned her: Jodi Arias and the perfect crime: The murder of Travis Alexander A camera submerged in a washing machine to erase evidence captured the last moments of Travis Alexander alive, and the feet of his murderer next to his corpse. Jodi Arias planned every detail of the crime: dyeing her hair, hiding her route, turning off her phone for 18 hours. But the only evidence she tried to destroy became her conviction. In this episode, we explore the three contradictory versions of Jodi during the interrogation, the gap between her meticulous planning and the collapse of her alibi, and how the photographic evidence recovered from the bathroom linked her directly to the scene. How did someone so calculating get betrayed by the technology she tried to annihilate? Victim: Travis Alexander Date: June 4, 2008 Location: Mesa, Arizona Status: Life imprisonment without parole (April 13, 2015) - A camera in the washing machine captured photos of Travis alive at 5:29 p.m. and Jodi's feet next to the body hours later. - Jodi gave three opposing versions: she was never there, two strangers threatened her, and finally admitted self-defense during an 18-day trial. - A Colt .25 disappeared from Jodi's grandparents' house on May 28, five days before the crime and with the same caliber as the shot. - Jodi's phone was off for 18 hours during her trip from California, eliminating any trace of her location at the exact moment of the murder.
