"It's all about you." - a favorite phrase of a malignant narcissist

Him asking Maria if she thinks he hurt Jessica when Maria never even insinuated that idea is very telling...

Isn't it weird that Justin claimed to have friends in the police department and then the police department completely f*cks up dealing with their evidence... 🤔

Archeologists: "This person is over 5,000 years old. We can do some digging to see their last meal. This person has traces of arsenic and poppy in their bones...etc" NOPD: "Are we sure she's even dead?"

I called and someone answered, I said that I’d like to leave a message for DA Jason Williams, and she said “Is this regarding Jessica Durning?” I said that it is, and she said “I’ll add your name to the list, we’ve gotten numerous calls today” You guys are doing it! So proud of this community ❤️

This case is so disgusting.The police let Jessica and her family down...and continue to do so! The husband definitely killed her. I can’t even imagine that her poor family found her body.

I am shocked that the family hasn’t sued the NOLA PD at this point.

He flat out said he had friends in the police dept , all those “ mistakes “ weren’t by accident. My goodness ! I hope this family gets justice !

i’m so enraged like i don’t even have words. i’m just so thankful kendall covered this to really get the word out

So that couple found her ID in the woods but in those messages with Maria, Justin said she’d left everything behind including her ID?..

Watching this to familiarize myself with the case so I'll be prepared for the upcoming documentary _530 Days_ being released 12/19/2023 by Ms. Kendall! 🥰

It’s so obvious her husband killed her or had her killed. Don’t understand how police could neglect a case like this.

Everyone needs a friend like Maria. She did everything she could do for Jessica and has been incredibly strong. Hopefully someday she gets justice for Jessica.

i think his “police connections” are the reason the case was handled terribly

Anyone else notice that Justin said her ID was at the house but then it was found with her body?? I fully believe Justin did this. and I also believe that if the police had done a proper investigation from the start then there would probably be more evidence found to help in this case. Such an injustice. I feel so terrible for the family.

Police work on this case is absolutely humiliating, devastating, and atrocious. Why do people become police officers just to cover for their murderous and violent buddies? It's sickening. Really glad you do what you do and helped raise awareness for this case.

Him sharing those adult videos of them following her death is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard. He can rot forever.

So weird because i thought he had “military friends” who could track her any move but she’s missing and the most he can do is facebook message her friend?

It is incredibly disturbing to me that Jessica’s family found her body. I cannot imagine the horror and trauma from that. My heart goes out to them. ♥️

Whenever someone says "so and so is a real friend, everyone needs a friend like that" I think, we should be saying everyone should BE a friend like that. Be a good friend.

Maybe he wasn’t lying when he said he has friends in high places... seems like someone is protecting him...

When he started texting Maria back to back I could tell he was guilty. He was trying so hard to clear his name and she hadn’t even accused him yet...

The fact he said 'you think I hurt her or something' is a huge red flag for me. His texts are so gaslighting and narcissistic. This justice system is just disgusting. This man clearly did it and I'm only half way through the video.

Maria is so well spoken and clearly was such a good friend. May Jessica rest in peace💐

Maria’s intelligence and persistence literally left me in awe. She did all of the right things and said the right things it’s incredible. And the way she confronted the old looking hag for a man with that text message. YEAH YOU TELL EM. what a strong and powerful woman.

When Maria clapped back at Justin.... my favorite part! Such a good friend! If you don’t have a best friend like her, get one because you need her.

“ we shouldn’t have to fight justice just to get justice for our loved ones” that’s how you know something shady is going on with the police SMFH

I think he really does have friends in the police force and they are getting in the way of the investigation so he doesn't get in trouble

Maria's reply to justin is so strong. Everyone needs a friend like Maria

Called and signed! The DA is about to get a shit ton of phone calls from us. As he should. The investigation into this case is disgusting!

Unfortunately New Orleans has had such a horrific corrupt history in government. This is sick. I can’t wait for the docu! Im rewatching to refresh myself with Jessica’s case. Prayers for her family!

This literally makes me shake, I feel so fortunate to have gotten out of the situation I was in. Coincidentally, my ex's name is also Justin...so this was kind of like listening to someone recount what happened in our relationship at times. Especially while Jessica's sister was describing how the abuse evolved. To anyone in an abusive relationship, female or male, it will only get worse. It gets so much worse. It starts slow, and you feel like maybe its your fault, maybe they'll change, you save face constantly and pretend that your partner is SO great to everyone else--and they fake being great in front of the people they want to convince. But when you get home, the real them comes out and even if it's "just" verbal or emotional abuse now...I've gone through this more than once. They WILL get physical. I had a baby with my ex, I was desperate to make our situation work...one night it took eight police to help get me away from him. I am certain he would eventually kill me. Looking back now, I can see that he was grooming our...no, MY son. He's a despicable excuse for a human being and he will never see my son AGAIN. This kind of person is dangerous, and your life is at risk. You might think I'm being alarmist, but I promise you...I'm speaking from experience. Please protect yourself and your children, if you have any. Do NOT talk about leaving, do NOT discuss your plan with them or with someone else within earshot of your ABUSER. Make a plan with a loved one, a shelter, a therapist and keep it between ONLY the parties involved in that plan. Do NOT pack a bag ahead of time and try to hide it, just make a mental list of what you'll need to pack. And the FIRST CHANCE you have, when your abuser is at work, school, or out running errands...that's when you leave. Grab your shit, STUFF is replaceable, you are not, so don't stress if you have to run with only the clothing on your back. My son and I left with nothing but what we were wearing and his diaper bag. It will all work out. And please make sure that you go to your local clerk of courts AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and apply for an order of protection. Do NOT advertise where you are on social media, with mutual friends, with anyone except those you trust with your life. Hang tight and get help, seek therapy...this kind of shit can be SO traumatic. There are people who want to help you, who are trained to help you, and who can help you turn your life around. You are not replaceable. No man or woman is worth your mental health, your blood, your life... Get out when you can, and trust that you are an incredible person who is worth SO MUCH MORE than what you've been through. You are loved.

Don’t tell a partner you are thinking of leaving. Plan quietly and run.

Every time Kendall says, ‘she met this guy’ ☹️

Here for a rewatch before the documentary comes out. Anyone else? Like my comment if so.

I’m here to watch this again in preparation for your documentary!!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this woman’s work and consistency 🙏

How is Justin not a suspect?! There was so MANY red flags and he wasn't considered a suspect?! very frustrating indeed

as a new orleans native this is so upsetting bc NOPD spends more time investigating drug cases than missing person cases. it’s so sad that she wasn’t able to get the justice she deserves and my heart goes out to her family (not justin) 💛

Unfortunately, this happens A LOT in NOLA. Tbh, it happens a LOT here in Louisiana. I’m so sorry her and her family had to go through this. I really hope more has happened since your last update.

i’m sorry they “followed the smell” and found her body themselves? yeah, those connections he has in the police force are definitely covering this shit up for him.

WAIT, so a couple finds her ID in a blanket?! Didn’t he tell her friend the day she went missing that she left behind her ID, keys, wallet, etc?!? This case is infuriating! He needs to be investigated!!! Give Jessica her day & peace!!! 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE HER FRIEND omg. I wish all friends and family were as diligent as her.

My dad found a very decomposed body today when they were clearing up brush and stuff from a fence row. And it has us all shaken up. Zero idea who it is and knowing this is someone who has been missing has my mind reeling. I already feel heartbroken for the family but I also hope this brings some closure and not more questions

Jessica was a friend and former coworker of mine. Thank you, everyone, for bringing her case back to the forefront. Jessica was caring, incredibly bright, and had the most hilarious sense of humor. She deserves justice and her family deserves peace and closure.

I LOVE how straight up her friend was him. She gave and took ZERO bullshit.

Came to refresh my memory of the case after seeing the tease trailer of your next doc!!!

The way the police single-handedly ruin investigations like this is disgusting. This is awful. Her poor family. Justice for Jessica ❤️

I'm scared for his daughter, she needs to be looked after too

Can this case be brought to the FBI or another police department??? There’s no way there’s not corruption going on. I would not be surprised since hearing that Justin has friends in the police department. I’m so angry hearing all of this. It’s clear that Justin is responsible from how he treats Jessica even after death.

This is so sad! Clearly this man told the cops "she's crazy, she's on meds, she ran away and killed herself" and they just believed him with zero investigation!!!! Wth!!!!

The fact that her family is STILL fighting for justice. Thank you for helping and supporting this family in finding answers. I just came from your recent documentary. Your work and growth is amazing.

THE ID IS WHAT STUCK OUT TO ME?!! The fact that he specifically mentioned it but then it was later found in a blanket thrown out with some other things....he did it.

I called the DA (from Germany) and she said, she would add my call to "the list" so I asked about the list and she said, she had taken at least 500 calls within the last 24 hours. I love you guys!!! Also I'm praying for Jessica and her family and friends. May they get justice and may Jessica rest in peace 🙏

Rewatching this in preparation for the documentary you’re releasing. This case makes me so frustrated. The fact her family found her body and so close to her home is unbelievable. I’m so disappointed in the law enforcement’s involvement in this

Rewatching this video before the documentary airs! Great work as always from you and the entire team!

“So Jessica met this guy” Me: *deep heavy sigh*

justin said she left her id at the house but then that couple found it , boom the guy is guilty

I just rewatched this video after your documentary on this case. It was done really well, but I came back to watch this to get more background on Jessica. This is insane. I can't believe it and I'm devastated for the family.

This case really touched me. She was found on my birthday and we sound so similar. It upsets me so much that the police didn't do ANYTHING.

The coroner’s office and police department should be sued. I can’t believe that much negligence.

490 days in the morgue?!?!?!? I couldn’t handle 7 days. I can’t imagine how distraught Jessica’s family is. Heartbroken for them. Holy fuck, what a horrible shitshow this police department is.

i have never thought this about anything before, but this is certainly, without a doubt, in my opinion a case where the family should sue the police force. They were negligent and inefficient in too many ways for this to go unchallenged. My prayers are with the family and friends who have been working to get justice for Jessica.

I just signed the petition and I am wishing Jessica's family the absolute best. Her life mattered! Thank you for this amazing channel Ms. Rae! You are doing phenomenal work!

Wow! Justin wasn't lying when he said he had "connections". Feels like a cover up! Absolutely horrifying.

The fact that you not only bring these horrible unsolved murders to light, reach out and talk to the families AND raising money for said things is just wow. You’re amazing Kendall

Had to come to this video to understand what was going on in the 530 day documentary. Perhaps this video should be pinned under the documentary

I’m in NOLA and unfortunately my mom was murdered as well and it took a year to get anywhere.

Weird the text Justin sent her friend saying “Jessica left her ID here” & the ID was found on the ground

Ya know, this absolutely disgusts me. Her husband is guiltier than sin and bless her parents heart to be the ones to find her. So, so sad...

Kendall, Thank you for helping this family. I love your compassion and true desire to help these poor families. God bless you all.

Watching this again in anticipation for your documentary. She deserves justice.

Just imagine how many women and girls would still be alive today if they hadn't met this type of men... it's so sad.

The fact he still has his daughter in his possession is horrifying

Why have I not heard of this case? This is terrible and I feel the deepest sympathy for Jessica and her family and friends.

His “connections” is possibly why her body wasn’t found until it was and why the dna went missing... this is a terrible case to hear. 😢

Imagine if everyone on KZfaq spoke up about important topics. I think many of us have forgotten about what’s actually important.

Im here to give past you a hug. Some people on the documentary of this woman’s case were unnecessarily mean. You can tell you MEANT every single word you said in this video about how you feel for this family and this case. You’re a good person doing good things. Don’t forget that. People are unnecessarily mean when they are not doing the work God has called THEM to be doing. ❤

The fact that they've never even thought that Justin could be guilty when it seems so obvious that he did it or he at the very least knows what happened.

Ok folks. If someone close to you is in this situation, do NOT let the abuser know you do not approve of him /her. It's only going to cause you to be cut off

Also.. when he texted Maria "looking for" Jess.. someone this obsessed and controlling of their partner would NEVER wait until the next day to track her down. I guarantee if she was even 5 mins late coming home, he would already be blowing up her phone trying to track her down. This was obvious from the minute he messaged Maria.

I watched this 2 years ago but rewatched again before the doc comes out on my Birthday. I am hoping so much that Jessica's family gets justice. This whole thing is crazy and screams police cover up.

Watching this in prep for the doc drop. You guys are incredible for your work. You are the one channel that I think really makes a difference in the true crime community. May justice always be served for all victims.

Chris Watts also texted "I don't want you to think I'm a bad person Cassie" to one of Shanann's friends after his family went "missing"

I thought that Justin was just trying to scare Jessica by saying he had friends who were police, but this gross negligence makes it seem like he does actually have friends on it. Either that, or these cops truly do not care at all

Its crazy that 2 years ago this true crime community pressured DA Jason Williams and he said he would speak with the family and re examine the case and yet 2 years later there has been no progress and no communication with the family. Jessica deserves justice and the New Orleans police department and the DA have truly done a disgusting injustice to her.

I am re-watching because of your docu posted yesterday. I can recommend it to everyone to what this before you watch the docu. Thanx for all the good work you and your team do ♥️ Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I love how Maria pretty much implied to Justin that she thought he could've done something to Jessica almost immediately after he texted her! She has some nerves of steel to say that to him lol

Did anyone else notice that when Justin reached out to Jessica’s best friend he said that he was worried because she left behind her “car keys, ID, and money” and then all of a sudden her ID was found crumpled outside where her body was? Either he lied about her stuff being at the house or he intentionally got rid of it afterwards.

My question is why did her family find her body and nobody else did before? No resident, neighbor, etc. caught the smell? Has nobody been to that park that entire week? 🤨 That’s so weird.

If my friends don’t go as hard for me as Maria did I don’t want them. She’s a good friend to have!

I am so disgusted by the injustice Jessica’s case has received. Over 500 days left in the morgue?! No human being should be pushed aside and forgotten the way Jessica has been by the local authorities!

Everyone needs a friend like Maria. Even when she says, “I know she doesn’t have many friends left.” That means when everyone else got tired of her and her scary situation, Maria stuck with her. She did everything she could. ❤️

Wondering why the coroner’s office didn’t try identify her through dental. I am chief forensic dentist in my province in Canada where dental is first line of identification. When there is antemortem dental records, it can be extremely fast for us to do an expertise.. few hours. Maybe she never went to a dentist… 🤔 Thanks Kendall - although my life oftentimes feels like a podcast 🕵️‍♀️I really enjoy your work a lot! You are awesome.

It’s so crazy seeing the pinned updated comment in this video after hearing you mention in your recent video that he made that statement just to shut everyone up and has not done anything to help with this case

"do you think I hurt her or something?" That's a Freudian slip if I ever did see one.

I think her husband never claiming her body for burial says it all really. That’s all the evidence I’d need to know he’s involved. Pathetic little man! x

I just watched this for the first time. It hits so close to home. I was raised in D’Iberville/Biloxi, and I also was in a mentally and physically abusive relationship in 2019. This is SO MADDENING. I cannot believe how mishandled this case was by police involved… I hope that things have turned/settled for the better. 💜 thoughts to all family and friends in their healing.

The fact that Jessica didn’t even feel like calling the police to report Justin or help her escape was an option speaks a lot about how useless she knew the police is
