Mystery surrounds the fiery weekend death of Jessica Chambers, but the Mississippi teen may have given firefighters a clue in her killing, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The volunteer fire department that responded to her car blaze Saturday night got there quickly because it was at another call a couple of miles away, said John Champion, district attorney for Mississippi's 17th Circuit.
When firefighters arrived at the scene near Courtland, Mississippi, Chambers approached one of them and spoke. She was not on fire, as has been widely reported, the prosecutor said.

Yep, the car on fire, but she was not. Somewhere in this mix....there’s going to be some mention of meth. Just the odd feeling of how this will turn out.
Meth? Always a possibility with horrific crimes.
This is a couple of counties down the road from me and is all the local talk. I hope closure is found
“Prince said she was told the attacker had gotten into the car and set Chambers on fire inside the vehicle.”
There is a lot that the authorities aren’t telling right now. Sometimes their silence is for legitimate investigative reasons and sometimes it’s to adhere to the Leftist agenda. Had the public known certain facts immediately after this horrific incident things would have happened that may not happen if they can delay announcing the inevitable. They can let the anger subside and adjust the narrative and by next week this falls off the radar. This ploy is just the opposite for the victims of fictitious white on black crime where a narrative is produced from thin air and the public is ginned to a furor.
I only hope they find the TRUTH, catch the killer(s), and set them ablaze. No other punishment even approaches sufficient, in my mind.
Who is the idiot that publishes clues that make it harder to track the killer?
I suspect they’re fake clues. Authorities have nothing and have been advertising they have a phone and a death bed statement from the girl in hopes of tripping up the culprit?
Just seems odd, every story reads the same .... she may have told who her attackers were or provided clues, yet nobody under arrest?
I agree. Until there’s reward money, no one is going to be arrested.
I lived for a number of years in Lafayette County, MS, which is adjacent to Panola County, where the murder occurred. Most of the cops and prosecutors in the region are professional and they don’t follow the “big city” example of trying the case in the media, through carefully-timed leaks.
In one of their few public statements on the crime, local authorities said the victim was able to communicate with first responders before being airlifted to the trauma center in Memphis, where she died. They have not said what the young woman conveyed to them before she lost consciousness. The prosecutor and sheriff (along with the state police) will build a solid case, and announce the arrests—after the accused are taken into custody.
Panola is a working-class area; still a few factories in the area (including Batesville Casket, which dominates that industry), along with smaller employers. Poverty rate isn’t as high as in the Mississippi Delta counties that lie to the west. Fair number of the locals are on the dole and there is a meth trade, though it’s not as widespread as other areas of the state.
The trail in this case looks like it will lead back to the former boyfriend. Given the racial component (and recent events in Ferguson), local authorities are being very careful to develop overwhelming evidence before making the arrests. And it won’t take a Mississippi jury long to convict the killers, regardless of the racial composition of that panel.
” Had the public known certain facts immediately after this horrific incident things would have happened that may not happen if they can delay announcing the inevitable.

Excellent points.
The case is STEEPED in race...but the media won’t say a thing about it. Black boyfriend, according to friends became enraged when she tried to break up with him. But he could not have done all this himself.
Because the murderer is Black, and they don't want Whites to know it, or let it become a national story.

She was trying to live as someone she was not. It almost never works out for the best.
As a resident of the Magnolia State for more than half a century I certainly agree with your assessment. The racial component of this heinous crime is the ultimate priority. The longer the announcing of certain facts can be delayed the better for the politically correct narrative. That narrative must be maintained and a particularly horrendous black male on blonde white female crime detracts from that narrative.
This story is one that has gripped me (armchair detective here.) I have the strangest gut feeling that this young lady was killed, either accidentally or on purpose dont’ know... by someone nobody is expecting and would be shocked about. Rather, when I look at picture of her and this person something seems off for some reason. Can’t say who in case I am wrong. It’s just been nagging at me.
