## Resource

This episode details the brutal murder of Jacqueline Vandergriff, a 24-year-old student at Texas Woman's University who was found dismembered and burned near Grapevine Lake in 2016. Surveillance footage and digital evidence traced her final hours to a bar where she met Charles Dean Bryant, a personal trainer with a disturbing history of stalking an ex-girlfriend. Investigators discovered a cache of physical evidence at Bryant's home, including a stun gun, a hunting knife, and the victim's personal belongings. Although the defense claimed her death was a consensual accident, a jury rejected this narrative after learning of the calculated steps Bryant took to dispose of her remains. Ultimately, Bryant was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison, while the community established an endowment in Jackie’s name to preserve her legacy of kindness.
