Saturday’s broadcast featured Maureen Maher and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the disappearance and death of Jessie Bardwell and the murder case against her boyfriend, Jason Lowe. Bardwell was fun-loving and outgoing, say friends and family. She lived in Orange Beach, Ala., where she worked at a local hotspot. Then she fell for Lowe. To the surprise of her family, one day she moved to Texas. Turned out she was following Lowe, who had landed a job in Dallas. She suddenly disappeared in May 2016.
Richardson, Texas investigators had a sense something was wrong in Lowe’s home the minute they arrived to follow up a report that Bardwell was missing. There were things out of place and the unmistakable scent of death. Soon after Lowe was arrested and charged with murder. Lowe later claimed Bardwell’s death was an accident. His attorney had a plan, and he put together a mock trial to test the defense theory. The result of the stand-in jury? Lowe was innocent. Prosecutors, however, maintained it was murder and Lowe tried to hide her body.
