A WOMAN whose twin was murdered 29 years ago has declared that she tracked down the killer and obtained a taped confession—but the police maintain it is insufficient.

Jody LeCornu, 23, was shot in the back on March 2, 1996, while parking in Drumcastle Shopping Center, according to Baltimore County Police.

Police said she tried to escape from her attacker by driving across the street to another shopping center, but the shooter followed.

Jody’s sister, Jenny Carrieri, 52, has been tirelessly seeking justice for 29 years, utilizing billboards throughout Baltimore and taking the investigation into her own hands.

In 2024, Jenny alleges she encountered one of the suspects in her sister’s murder case, who remarked, “I’m sure you are wearing a wire; I will not get out if I admit to this.”

Despite the claim of a confession, Baltimore Police say no confession was recorded and are still searching for Jody’s killer.

Jenny, a jewelery store worker, from Baltimore, Maryland, said: “In the fall of 2024, I met the main suspect in Jody’s murder.

“The police wired me up, and I chatted with him for hours.

“When I met him, I said I forgave him for killing Jody, he said that if he admitted to her murder, he wouldn’t get out of prison.

“I feel like that was a confession from him, and there is so much evidence against him.

“He is now out of prison for a previous crime, and I fear he is going to kill someone else.

“I can’t live with him being out there.”

After she was shot, the police believe Jody was able to drive to another parking lot across the street before collapsing.

It is also believed that her killer spoke to her briefly before firing the final shot just before 4am.

Jenny said: “The night my sister died, my life changed forever.

“March 2 was our parents’ wedding anniversary. I called her, and she didn’t answer.

“I got a gut feeling that something was wrong; my parents also tried to call her, but heard nothing.”

Later that morning, Jenny’s then-fiance walked in from work and revealed her twin sister had been murdered after he received a call from her parents.

Jenny said she was in “complete shock”.

She said: “I went completely numb, I couldn’t comprehend it – it was like a movie.

“Honestly, I was in shock for a long time. I was very anxious, worried for my parents.

“I was scared, I couldn’t be on my own, I ended up staying in Baltimore – I couldn’t be on my own for years.”

After Jody’s death, Jenny said she took it upon herself to find the person responsible.

In 2016, motivated by the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Jenny put up billboards all over Baltimore displaying her sister’s name and face, alongside a $32,000 reward offer.

In the fall of 2024, Jenny said she went to visit one of the main suspects of Jody’s murder – after someone reported his white BMW to the police.

The police have reported that fingerprints were collected from both the interior and exterior of LeCornu’s car, yet checks of these prints did not lead to a suspect.

Jenny said: “It has been a constant fight, the suspect is out on the streets.

“He was brought in by police early on, he matches the description.

“He had the same white BMW, which was found by the scene.

“They have six witnesses and fingerprints, and video — it’s hard to believe that this case is not solved.”

Jenny said she is angry and doesn’t feel like she will get closure until the man she met is behind bars.

She said she cannot sleep at night out of fear that he will kill someone else.

Jenny said: “I am upset, angry, and sad. I have spent all these years trying to cope with her loss, and the treatment I have had from the police.

“I do not understand why nobody wants to help me.

“Not having closure has been incredibly hard for me.

“I want him to tell the police that he killed Jody, and I do not want him to hurt anyone else.”

Baltimore County Police stated: “Jody LeCornu’s case remains an open investigation. Detectives believe someone possesses information that could help solve this case.”

“Regardless of how insignificant you may think it is, please contact Baltimore County Police Homicide detectives at 410-887-3943 or 410-307-2020 with any information. Callers may remain anonymous.”
