Arrogant Teen Thinks She Can Get Away With Murder

An arrogant teen believes she is smarter than the police. In April 2020, 17-year-old Kaitlyn Coones gave her 33-year-old boyfriend an ultimatum: kill his mother within five hours, or she would do it herself [citation:6]. When he failed to act, she bludgeoned Nicole Jones with a rock and strangled her, then helped dispose of the body in a dumpster [citation:4]. During interrogation, detectives used her own contradictions against her—she claimed not to have driven to the scene, but GPS and witness statements proved otherwise [citation:1][citation:3]. She soon realized her arrogance had sealed her fate.
