Pregnant iodie Jakubaszek, killed by Deborah Pretlow in Brooklyn

The body of Jodie Jakubaszek, a 25-year-old financial worker, was discovered on June 4, 1997 under the Belt Parkway near Coney Island in Brooklyn after being reported as missing on the same day.

Jakubaszek was down with his face and had no shoes on. “Her feet were not dirty, so it didn't look like she had gone there,” said Frank Ciccone, then a detective of the 60th district of the New York police department in Brooklyn.

A occupation of tire traces near the body was taken as evidence. When the medical examiner arrived and Jakubaszek's body turned, the investigators found that it was pregnant.

“The medical examiner examined the body and searched for gunshot wounds, stab wounds and signs of suffocation,” said William Menendez, who at that time was at the NYPD's crime scene unit. “But there was nothing obvious.”

Police interview Jodie Jakubaszek's on-off friend

The first focus of the investigators was with Marvin Fulford, Jakubaszek's on-off friend, the father of her unborn baby. He was also her landlord and lived in the same building in Brooklyn. Fulford had called the report about missing person.

“We learned that Jodie had helped Marvin to bring his life together as far as his X-ray technician license is concerned,” said Ciccone. “She got him on the right track to buy the building he did.”

Fulford was at home with his new friend Deborah Pretlow when the police told him that Jakubaszek was dead. The interview continued in the police district.

Fulford told the police that he and Jakubaszek were not together, but good. He divided his whereabouts during the time when iody disappeared. “He had worked and then he went to a strip club in the Bronx with friends,” said Patrick Boyle, who was detective in the 60th district in Brooklyn at the time.

Ciccone Pretlow interviewed in the room next door. “You would think someone whose friend's father is the baby's father to his ex-girlfriend on the upper floor would be a little annoyed,” said Ciccone. “She really didn't show too much of it. I have no red flags … at this point.”

The autopsy and bank records of Jodie Jakubaszek

Jakubaszek's autopsy has not found any cause of death. The case was referred to as Cuppi – circumstances indefinite until the police investigation. The results of a toxicological analysis were still in progress.

The medical examiner found that Jakubaszek was killed on the evening of June 3. The investigators looked closely at Fulford's Alibi and it examined.

The police turned to Jakubaszek's banking history. Records showed six failed attempts to use their bank card at an ATM in Brooklyn. Graned security video showed two women who tried to withdraw cash.

When the investigators tried to identify the women, Jakubaszek's family, friends and colleagues put them to rest. “She was gone,” said the best friend Cynthia Corpal. “She would never be 26 years old and would never get her baby.”

Colleagues Audrey Miles were mourning. “It was hard, someone so close and so young, it was very, very difficult.”

In six days after the beginning of the case, the toxicological report showed that Jakubaszek had a high concentration of a connection that was found in cleaning fluid in her bloodstream. “It is not a normal substance that occurs in humans,” said Adam S. Charnoff, a former deputy district prosecutor in the public prosecutor's office in Brooklyn.

Jakubaszek's credit story showed that a person with their card ordered sex toys worth 130 US dollars. The person who ordered her was Leandra Adams, who had no criminal history and lived in the victim's Brooklyn district.

Iodie Jakubaszek's kidnapping and murder

On June 11, the investigators interviewed Adam. She confirmed that she was one of the women who were caught in surveillance videos and tried to withdraw cash with Jakubaszek's card. She claimed that her friend Tamika Camacho found a map of the token stand in Fulton St. station. She insisted that she was not involved in Jakubaszek's death.

When Camacho was brought to the survey, Adams changed her story. “Andrea Adams started spilling the beans,” said Charnoff. “And she gave up the names of the other people involved.”

Adams gave the authorities of Camacho's name again and Camacho's girlfriend Ria Clarke and a third name that shocked the investigators – Deborah Pretlow.

“She is the ring loader,” said Charnoff about Pretlow. “She is the one who everything brought together. ”

Camacho told the police that she was with Pretlow, Adams and Clarke on the evening of June 3.

Adams added to Pretlow, “she said that she wanted me and [Camacho] To come with her to speak to Jodie, because Jodie would not speak to her alone. ”

Ciccone said the women got into Pretlow's car and went to Fulton St., where Jodie got out of the train to go home.

Boyle continued New York murder This Pretlow knew that Jakubaszek got off the train every day.

Adams told the police that Pretlow showed Jakubaszek to the others and together they confronted Jakubaszek. “Debbie goes, 'look, just got into the car,” said Adams about how Jakubaszek ended up in Pretlow's vehicle.

Camacho told the police: “We drove you, you [Pretlow] Settled with Jodie behind and she started talking to her. ”

“Jodie was driven all over Brooklyn while Deborah Pretlow made her 'leave my friend alone,” said Charnoff.

Adams said Jakubaszek said to Prterlow: “Look, Debbie, I'm going to go to Rochester with my family. You don't have to worry.”

The group drove to Coney Island and Pretlow asked the others, “get out and go on the promenade,” said Adams to the police and added: “She tells me that I should go, I want to see: 'No, I want to see what you do.'”

As to see in a recorded police interview, Adams added what Pretlow did Jakubaszek: “She started to lift her face.”

The shocking story continued.

Pretlow and Clarke arrived in the district. “Deborah Pretlow admitted to being there, admitting that Jodie had been murdered, but repeatedly showed her fingers on Leandra and Tamika Camacho as the main attacker,” said Charnoff. “Rather like a robbery that has become bad.”

Detectives did not buy this version. “Who has the motive to make this woman disappear? Pretlow,” said Boyle. “That seems more plausible to me.”

None of the women mentioned Clarke as in any way in the kidnapping and murder. She was not charged for crime.

Leandra Adams, Tamika Camacho and Deborah Pretlow charged with murder

Adams, Camacho and Pretlow were charged with kidnapping, robbery and murdered second degree. When the public prosecutor was preparing for the process, Pretlow dropped a bomb. She rejected all of her earlier statements. Now she claimed that she was not even in the car on the day of the murder.

Adams and Camacho stated that they were guilty of manslaughter and would testify against Pretlow. Since they would benefit from the deal with a reduced imprisonment, the prosecutors went to Clarke to determine if they would testify. Clarke agreed.

In order to strengthen the case, the investigators confirmed that the tire traces near Jakubaszek's body matched the profile of the tires on Pretlow's car. That brought the vehicle to the crime scene. In addition, fibers from Jakubaszek's clothing were found in the car.

Deborah Pretlow, which was convicted of manslaughter and kidnapping

Clarke took the status at Pretlow's process. “Her certificate provided a lot of cruel details,” said Charnoff. “According to Ria, Jodie kept floating with everyone in the car: 'Please do not harm me or my baby.'”

On May 7, 1999, Pretlow was convicted of kidnapping and homicide – and not on the second degree Murder, a decision that shocked the investigators. Pretlow was sentenced to life in prison for 25 years.

Miles, Jakubaszek's colleagues, still grab life with so many lives because of “jealousy about a man,” she said. “Everything is simply pointless.”
