Why Arianna Jones' Date Kept Driving To The Desert
from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media
Before Domonic Rodolico knocked on Arianna Jones' door for their first date, his phone had already been pinging in a remote desert area near Lake Pleasant, Arizona. Multiple times. He lingered for twenty-five minutes on one trip. Investigators would later find concrete bags, latex gloves, and burial equipment at the same spot where cadaver dogs discovered Arianna's remains on July 11 — alongside two Harkins movie theater souvenir cups from the date she didn't survive.Arianna Bailey Jones was twenty-one and a mother of a two-year-old son. She'd spent her childhood in foster care and had only reunited with her biological mother three years earlier. She was doing the thing she'd always wanted — building a family. On July 5, she went to the movies with a guy she met on Snapchat. Her phone went dark in the desert forty-five minutes after the movie ended. Rodolico's phone left the area ten minutes later.When arrested, Rodolico told police a story about two masked attackers. Then changed it. Then admitted it wasn't true. He offered a third version he couldn't explain. The affidavit says he showed no remorse and seemed to think this was just a missing person case. He's charged with first-degree premeditated murder, held on two million dollars bond, and denies any involvement. Arianna's mother is calling for the death penalty. This is the full case — first time we're bringing it to you.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
