Circumstances
-MJD was a prostitute (?This is our presumption due to the company she kept, the location she was picked up and the condoms that might have been on her when she was picked up off of the highway.)
-Alonzo and Lindsey supposedly were going to Tucson on their way to Miami. They stopped at Ajax Mini Mart, where Lindsay went in and Alonzo made a marijuana deal behind the Ajax Mini-Mart.
-According to Alonzo, MJD “hopped into” vehicle without being asked
-Alonzo DeCarlo Fernandez, age 26, told her his destination was Miami, to which he reports saying she told him that was her destination as well
-Lindsay saw Alonzo drive off with the girl in the front seat. She reportedly hopped into Alonzo’s car at Ajax Mini-Mart (liquor store) on 23rd & Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ
-Lindsay paged Alonzo from the Mini-Mart to come pick her up (when she was done in the store)
-They stopped to pick up Lindsey/Lindsay DeJong, age 18, who was reportedly the girlfriend of Alonzo DeCarlo Fernandez, and all three of them got into the front seat
-They stopped at some house on the way out of town (according to Lindsey DeJong) that MJD went into and stayed there for 20 minutes or more to purchase marijuana
-Then they proceeded to get onto I-10 eastbound
-Alonzo attempted to recruit MJD as his prostitute (IIRC, she had agreed to go with them to Miami but changed her mind because...), but MJD said she wanted out because she was afraid of being beaten by someone in Phoenix if she didn’t get back, but Alonzo kept going
-Says they were smoking marijuana and MJD’s behavior changed and she got very talkative and “babbled” then said she needed to throw up, so she moved from the middle seat onto Lindsey’s lap, where she stuck her head out the window
-Moments later she suddenly jumped out of the passenger side window while traveling approximately 75 mph eastbound down I-10 (they were in the right lane where Alonzo reportedly was slowing down to stop, but she jumped before they did)
-Alonzo says they didn’t stop the car because he was afraid (why?) and that he saw people (who?) stopping to help MJD.
-Both claim to know nothing about the girl and neither know her name
-Car was pulled over at mile market 199 when they saw a police car behind them, before the lights were even turned on
-Witnesses include a few people, including truck drivers who saw what happened
[FONT="]o[/FONT]Witnessess say that the car was all over the road and the driver was reaching around the back seat
[FONT="]o[/FONT]One of the truckers who witnessed it that said he saw (a woman's arm and then )her "come straight out the passengers side window and land on the pavement rolling continously".
-One area resident (RA (originally from Milwaukee, WI) AKA RW (DOB 2-13-71))) who had seen MJD around told police that she was only 15 and had been turned down for a job at a nearby strip club ("Le Girls Nude Dance Club") because of her age. Her street name was Corey or Carla. Her pimp may have been the same guy who had been arrested for bringing another girl (13 years old) from “back east”
[FONT="]o[/FONT]LE questioned the man that the nearby resident had mentioned was probably the pimp, who was already in jail for something else, but he said he knew nothing of the girl and had only been in town a few weeks.
-Surrounding business owners were questioned, as well as street prostitutes in the area
-A sales manager for a car dealership witnessed a confrontation between MJD, a heavier girl and the man he had seen on TV on the afternoon before MJD was injured.
Alonzo DeCarlo Fernandez (POSSIBLE AKA “William Joseph Walker” with a different DOB of 6/10/1967)
-DOB: 7/28/1972
-Lengthy criminal history (drugs, robberies, prison)
-Reported by the police to be a pimp that was trying to recruit MJD (unsuccessfully)
-Rumored to be an illegal alien that was deported to Brazil “a couple of years ago” but turns out he was not deported anywhere…
-Charged with failure to render aid in this case and leaving the scene of an accident, but skipped bail
-Possibly has as many as 15 aliases
-Car: 4-door Dark Blue Cadillac Sedan DeVille
Lindsey Dawn DeJong (AKA Lindsey Dejung)
-DOB: 7/30/1980
-In the vehicle the day MJD fell from the car
-Name also spelt as “Lindsay”
-Reported by the police to be a prostitute that was being pimped out by Alonzo
-Purportedly from Spokane, WA
