10 Disturbing Details Surrounding Jodi Arias, Who Murdered Her Ex-Boyfriend Travis Alexander

6 /10 Hot And Cold

When Travis started looking for new romantic partners, things got dangerous. Jodi flipped like a switch and began to harass him.

When he ignored her, she came calling in person. She even went to some outright illegal reaches to get his attention.

She slashed his tires, hacked his social media, and generally tried to make his life a living hell. It got so bad that Travis warned his friends at the height of the drama that he might end up dead because of Jodi.

Travis was set to go to Mexico for a business conference with Jodi, but their breakup made him change his plans and expected guest.

When Jodi found out, she filled his voicemail with phone calls to talk to him. Eventually, they came to an agreement which saw Jodi rent a car and travel to Utah, where Travis was.

After Jodi returned home, there was no word from Travis. His friends and roommates thought he was already gone.

Then, on June 9th, they found him in a pool of blood, covered with stab wounds – about 28 of them – and bullet wounds. He’d been dead for days about as long as Jodi had been out of town.

After giving Jodi’s name to police as a suspect who may have hated Travis, with all her previous harassment as proof, she was arrested.

She claimed total innocence and made up several stories that did not line up with the events that preceded her, such as being in a different city or the last time she saw Travis being months earlier.

The phone records disproved her but weren’t quite enough. What clinched the evidence was a camera found in the washing machine in Travis’s apartment. It had pictures of them, from when they were dating to when he was killed.

Gruesome photos fresh from the crime scene and Jodi’s DNA mixed in with some of the bloody marks on the bathroom door locked her in for a first-degree murder charge.

Jodi wasn’t just a dramatic murderer. She was a soap opera wannabe starlet in the courtroom.

She defended herself with 18 days worth of hearings where she went over her entire life history, starting from tales of abuse when she was a little girl up to the graphic and extensive details of her and Travis’s sex life, all before a Judge and later a Jury.

Despite the evidence verifying her presence and conflicting with her own stories and slander against Travis’ name, she was utterly confident in her innocence.

Despite – or despite – her elongated testimony and defense, Jodi was charged guilty. The prosecution had pushed for the death penalty.

Still, on later appeals due to growing social media frenzy and exposure to the public, Jodi eventually changed her plea to guilty, and her attorneys arranged for a life sentence.

She is still alive, currently serving in prison for the rest of her life, but wavers back and forth between a sociopathic glee over the fame she garnered and an act of sappy despair over her conviction.
