ANECDOTE

Daughter Finds Jason Bleeding In Pickup

  • Dani found Jason strapped into his pickup bleeding out after he left home following a family argument late on January 2, 2008.
  • Jason had left to decompress, called his son from a gas station, then returned minutes later before being attacked outside his neighborhood.
INSIGHT

Surveillance Captures Most Of Jason's Final Route

  • Nearly every movement after Jason left is on surveillance: he visited a Citco at 12:47 a.m., called his son, then was followed by a mystery vehicle that flashed headlights.
  • Grainy footage shows the follower do a U-turn, shadow Jason's route, and then both vehicles loop the block before the fatal stop.
INSIGHT

Short Brutal Attack Occurred Just Off Camera

  • The attack lasted about 50 seconds just outside camera view; Jason was stabbed 16 times and still drove away before collapsing.
  • The rapid, close-quarters nature suggests the assailant approached his rolled-down window and used excessive force.
