Mysterious Death Of Police Deputys Girlfriend Michelle OConnell

from Drown Valley Crimes · host Kwad

"...so this case really raises the question our police officers investigated like regular people or are they given special treatment especially when death is involved on the night that Jeremy Banks girlfriend Michelle O'Connell was shot by his colleagues from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office walked onto the scene and immediately deemed her death a suicide this is another case where there really isn't much investigating done in a gunshot death and a person's life is treated pretty much like it doesn't matter so let's get into it when st. Johns County sheriff's deputies arrived at the St. Augustine home of Jeremy Banks on September 2nd, 2010 they found his 24-year-old girlfriend Michelle O'Connell lying on the floor with an intraoral gunshot wound to the head, and dozens of prescription painkillers in her pocket please get someone to my house please send my girlfriend I think she just shot herself there's blood everywhere Banks yelled hysterically to the 911 operator so hysterically in fact that the woman called him ma'am several times he was extremely offended by this and the audio and made her to go ahead and lower his voice and then got real fucking calm and said it sir it's sir anyway I digress so upon arrival deputies found Banks a fellow Saint John County Sheriff's deputy crouched at the bathroom door of the master suite clutching his phone the gun was found on Michelle's left with the Tactical light switched on later pictures taken at the scene revealed a second shot had been fired into the carpet despite the efforts of the First Responders Michelle was pronounced dead at close to 11:48 p.m. that night so st. Augustine Florida is an absolutely beautiful town that boasts the oldest city in America Castillo de San Marcos known simply as the fort to locals is the oldest masonry fort in the continental US and Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth is also located there so this is a very old city lately mired in history and Scenic Beauty it's a small town of roughly 14,500 people so as you can imagine there's not a lot of violent crime here I looked up crime rates in 2008 and it said it was slightly higher than the national average but like literally by 1% and murder rates were like non-existent so it's an incredible place it holds a pretty much a huge significance I'm not going to tell you why for myself and my husband we've had some great times there including at a location featured in this case the st. Augustine Amphitheatre enough about the underrated city of St Augustine let's get back to the case of Deborah Maynard a former St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Deputy who was on the scene immediately after the 911 call was placed Deborah was having coffee when she got the call that shots were fired which is the signal 18 and she rushed to the address as she entered the house she saw a pair of feet in the doorway..."
