Previous Episode
On a cold November morning in 2011, a 911 call shattered the silence along Interstate 77 near Marietta, Ohio. A car sat abandoned against a guardrail. Its lights were on. The driver was nowhere to be found.
Minutes later, another call came in.
A body had been discovered in the roadway.
What followed should have been a straightforward investigation. There were crash reports, phone records, witness statements, and forensic evidence. But as the details began to surface, the story became anything but clear. The death of Jaleayah Davis has raised questions for more than a decade. Questions about what really happened on that dark stretch of highway. Questions about whether this was truly an accident or something far more complicated.
In this episode of Crime Salad, we take a closer look at the timeline, the inconsistencies, and the pieces that don’t seem to fit.
Because sometimes the truth isn’t just hidden. It’s buried beneath the version everyone accepted.

On August 16, 2015, Sara Easton, a 31-year-old mother of three from Yuba City, California, died from a gunshot wound in her bedroom. Investigators quickly moved toward a suicide ruling. Her family never accepted it.
Sara's husband was Aaron Easton, then-Chief of the Marysville Police Department. And the more forensic details emerged, including the autopsy findings, the toxicology results, the witness accounts, and the history of alleged domestic abuse, the more questions piled up around a case that many believe was never properly investigated.
Was this a suicide? A homicide? And did Aaron Easton's position in law enforcement shape the way this case was handled?
In this episode, Ashley and Ricky break down the full timeline of Sara's death, examine the forensic and autopsy evidence, explore the conflicts of interest that shadowed the investigation, and look at the later allegations against Aaron Easton that have kept this case under scrutiny for nearly a decade.
Sara's family is still pushing for answers. This is their story and hers.
