What this episode covers

Criminal Mischief — The Murder of Jonathan Willett What happens when love turns into control… and control turns into something far more dangerous? In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio examines the brutal murder of Jonathan Willett at the hands of his former girlfriend, Devyn—a case that begins as a volatile breakup and escalates into a chilling act of violence that few saw coming… but many, in hindsight, recognize the warning signs of. Drawing from official interrogation recordings, court transcripts, and interviews with investigators, Carolyn reconstructs the final days leading up to the murder—uncovering a pattern of obsession, manipulation, and escalating tension that ultimately ended in tragedy. This is not just a story about one crime. It’s a portrait of domestic violence in its most insidious form—where control disguises itself as love, where warning signs are minimized or ignored, and where the line between emotional abuse and physical violence quietly disappears. In this episode, we explore: • The relationship between Jonathan and Devyn—and how it began to fracture • The behavioral patterns that signaled escalation • The moments leading up to the murder • Devyn’s interrogation—and what she chose to reveal • The prosecution’s case and courtroom revelations • The broader implications of domestic violence and coercive control Through firsthand accounts and documented evidence, Criminal Mischief brings listeners inside the investigation—step by step—allowing the truth to emerge not as speculation, but as something far more unsettling: A sequence of choices that, once set in motion, could not be undone. Because the most dangerous part of cases like this isn’t always the violence itself— It’s how predictable it can be… once you know where to look.
