this is a crime figher you should be afraid of
When Jessica Maple’s mom sent her to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office crime fighting summer program, she probably thought it’d be a good thing to keep her kid out of trouble. But I bet, like any 12-year old, Jessica was hoping to use what she learned to solve crimes.
And she did.
When the Atlanta native heard her late, great-grandmother’s property was robbed Jessica went to investigate. And it was Jessica who discovered how the thief got in. Police completely missed it.
Then she went, with her mother, to a local pawn shop and found her grandmother’s belongs. Again, one step ahead of the police. Jessica explains how they told the cops:
“We called the police station and the guy, the investigator, he was like, ‘Oh my gosh, how’d you find all the stuff here? I was coming here.’ And I was like, ‘I did your job again.’”
That’s not it. Pawn shops have to take a copy of someone’s ID when they bring in stuff and young Jessica was able to get the owner to show her the IDs of the two men.
And then, as if a scene in a movie, young Jessica and her mom drove to one of the guy’s houses and confronted him. The burglar confessed.
So young Jessica solves the crime but the cops still haven’t arrested the criminals.
“I don’t know what’s taking them so long,” says Jessica.
Neither do I….
In the 13 years that the junior district attorney program has been offered they’ve never had this happen. Hopefully it doesn’t become a regular occurrence as I’m sure the police department hates being shown up by 12 year olds. [Source | Image]
