What is the story of Jamie Faith?
As reported by CBS News, Jamie Faith first met Jennifer on a blind date. Soon, the two developed a strong relationship, as reported by their friends, Theresa and Toss Jensen.
Jamie Faith married Jennifer in Las Vegas in 2012. As reported by CBS News, Jennifer already had a daughter from her previous relationship named Amber, whom Jamie legally adopted after their marriage. Their family's residence was initially based in Arizona.
It was in 2017, they moved to the Dallas neighborhood in Texas. As reported by ABC News, Emery Wilson was one of the first witnesses to the crime. She revealed walking to her walkway and finding the body of Jamie Faith lying on the street. Wilson revealed that she saw the killer in a mask and hoodie, with a gun in his hand.
As per CBS News, from the nearby surveillance cameras, investigators managed to track down the killer's vehicle. Reportedly, the vehicle was identified to be a black Nissan pickup truck. Investigators traced that the car had a T-shaped sticker on the back window of the driver's seat.
As reported by CBS News, during the initial stage of the investigation, Jennifer's close friends and family set up a community support group by opening a GoFundMe account. Reportedly, the account was able to raise a sum of $ 60,000 as charity for Jennifer and her daughter Amber.
As reported by ABC News, two months after the murder, Jennifer provided an interview to a local TV news channel. She appealed to the public to look out for a black Nissan pickup truck with the distinctive T-shaped sticker on its back window.
Investigators began to suspect Jennifer of her involvement in the murder of Jamie Faith.
As reported by CBS News, during the investigation, authorities decided to go through Jennifer's phone and discovered that she had an affair with an Army veteran named Darrin Lopez. Authorities eventually discovered that Jennifer was in a relationship with Darrin back in high school.
As per the call records, it was back in March 2020, when Jennifer started to reconnect with Lopez, while still being married to Jamie Faith. As reported by CBS News, through aerial surveillance, authorities managed to trace down Darrin's black Nissan pickup truck with the T-shaped sticker at his property in Tennessee.
As reported by ABC News, it was on January 11, 2021, when Darrin Lopez was arrested during a traffic stop in Tennessee. As per CBS News, when police officers searched one of his vehicles, they found the murder weapon, the face mask, and credit cards that belonged to Jennifer Faith.
As reported by CBS News, Jennifer and Darrin first connected through email. During this time, Jennifer falsely claimed that Jamie Faith was physically abusive to her. Investigators discovered this was a way to provoke Darrin Lopez into killing Jamie.
As reported by ABC News, during a phone conversation, Jennifer told Darrin that she would only be safe if Jaie Faith were dead. Reportedly, it was on October 8, 2020, when Darrin Lopez took a drive from Tennessee to Texas to kill Jennifer's husband.
Darrin Lopez pleaded not guilty to the murder of Jamie. The father of three daughters and two stepdaughters had sustained head injuries during his missions in Iraq. His attorneys argued that Jennifer used Darrin's condition to commit the murder.
As reported by CBS News, Jennifer Faith was arrested by the authorities on February 24, 2021. Seven months later, she was charged with the murder of her husband, Jamie Faith.
Investigators reported that Jennifer used the charity money from GoFundMe to buy gifts for the murderer, Darrin Lopez. Additionally, she bought flight tickets and a television for herself. As reported by CBS, it was on February 7, 2022, when Jennifer Faith pleaded guilty to her involvement in the murder of her husband, Jamie Faith.
She accepted the guilty plea, and her death sentence was changed to lifetime imprisonment. As reported by ABC News, it was in July 2023 when her case went to trial. Jennifer Faith was eventually sentenced to 62 years of imprisonment.
