Hi, crime junkies, I'm your host, Fritz, and we're shaking things up with not one, but two episodes hitting your feed today. And here's why. The lead detective in a case out of our home state of Indiana reached out to us because he needs your help. He's got this case that's pretty fresh, meaning there's a little bit less information than usual. So we decided to cover two Indiana stories, Ashley is bringing you the other, and it's actually already in your feed. But this one we knew we had to tell, because they are this close to solving it. They're pretty sure they know who is behind the murder of two young women in Hobart, Indiana, and why. But there's a twist. The DNA they have in the case doesn't match the main person they suspected. So are they wrong, or is the DNA just misleading? I have theories, but one of you out there might have the answer. This is the story of Destiny Jackson and Nizhira Muhammad. [MUSIC] If you've been listening to Crime Junkie for a while, or even if you're a new listener, you know that a lot of the stories we tell start with a loved one getting worried, that moment that they realize that something is wrong. On the morning of Friday, November 4, 2022, a woman named Felicia isn't all that worried. She hasn't heard from her little sister, 20-year-old Destiny Jackson in a little over a day, which is unusual for them because they live together along with Felicia's boyfriend Todd and Destiny's 19-year-old girlfriend Nizhira Muhammad. But even when Nizhira's mom calls her saying that she can't get a hold of her daughter or Destiny, Felicia's not thinking that something bad has happened. Felicia knows their sleep schedules are a little bit off at the moment, and Nizhira isn't in school at the time, Destiny's taking some online classes and working part-time, but they're staying up late, sleeping in late, doing normal college-age things. Plus, Felicia knows that Destiny turns on the do not disturb when she sleeps, so even when she tries calling Destiny herself and gets sent straight to voicemail, that doesn't feel weird. Unfortunately, Felicia and Todd aren't home where they all live in Hobart, Indiana. They've been gone on a brief trip an hour away to Chicago, so Felicia can't just go into their room and check on them, so instead she keeps trying her sister. But no answer. After so many unanswered calls, she asks her brother, who she's staying with in Chicago, "Hey, can you check and see if you can see her location?" But he can't. Although Felicia isn't worried, she figures she'll hear from her sister soon. But it's not her sister who calls her later. It's Nizhira's mom again, and she's still worried. And that's when she says something that finally makes Felicia a little nervous. According to Felicia, she tells her that she recently sent her daughter a large sum of money. She doesn't remember how much it was, or exactly when, or even why, though she knew that her mom had been supporting her financially, so it wasn't totally out of the blue. But I don't know, something about it just made her sister Spidey senses tingle. So better safe than sorry, Felicia decides to call local police for a welfare check that
