Investigators say Jessie Goslyn implicated herself in the crime during an interview with deputies Saturday morning. She is now behind bars charged with murder along with another man, 24-year-old Jarred Long. He was picked up in Colorado, but detectives say he was a part of this murder in Christian County Friday night.

Jessie and Vincent Goslyn had three very young children. Their future remains uncertain with their father now gone, and their mother in jail under a $500,000 bond.

Poor guy. He went to war to defend life, liberty, and the U.S.A. Rather than coming home to a heroes welcome, he comes home to a barrel of a gun! If that isn't bad enough, his own wife is alleged to be responsible, in part, at the least! :mad:

JMHO

Word on the street is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Ky. is now representing him.
 
I believe the jailed suspects in this case were released on bond this week after a Ky. judge suppressed her 'confession' to Army CID.

She told the Sheriff she wanted a lawyer then the next day she went on base and spoke to military investigators and confessed. The Judge has thrown out her confession it seems.
The prosecuting attorney appealed the judge's decision, asking the court to re-admit Jessie Goslyn's interview with military investigators. That appeal process could take a year or more. But, in the meantime, she will remain out of jail, at home with a GPS tracking system around her ankle.

Okay, I see. The above article, linked again, has the lastest information. I guess the October trial date is cancelled out then.

Wonder what's up regarding Jarred Long.

I guess he's in county jail and was scheduled for court in June 2013.

JL was released too?

Back in January, lawyers requested to have the blood on JL's backpack tested by an independent lab.

JL and victim's wife had been living together for about six months prior to Goslyn returning home from Afghanistan.

The lawyers are trying to get them out (or have done so) on technicalities. Doesn't seem right.
 
So good on the Judge, huh? Let's this woman go home and live with her 5 children?

She confessed to murder, but hey, I guess that doesn't make you a bad mom???

WTH!!!!!!!

An initial report on the murder and arrests.
Here it states Jessie G. was living on Fort Campbell.
What I'd like to know is how the heck Jarred was able to live with her in a house on post (as reported in another link).
Were gate checks relaxed in 2012? Can people drive on post without checking in or possibly being stopped? None of the neighbors noticed a strange man living in military housing with the wife of a deployed soldier? Pretty brazen behavior if true.

Plus, I've read the deceased had five children. All five with Jessie? Were any of them old enough to tell their dad that mom had a man around all the time while he was deployed. Jeesh.

Her family believes the children need their mother so she should be released from jail. Go figure! Makes me wonder why she wouldn't have thought about that before killing their father. Considering the low number of brain cells functioning in her brain, I'm positive the children would be better off with someone else caring for them.
Not to mention that she was carrying on with another man while their father was deployed. That all by itself is despicable imo.
 
In October 2012, JT's bond/bail was decreased to $100,000 cash from $5 million.
(I didn't link the link because it flashed red when I clicked and wanted me to sign in to see the rest of the story.)
I'm still not sure where JTL is today though.

o/t - It catches my attention when the same name pops up in cases - like Long in this case and the little girl, Willow Long, who was allegedly murdered by her uncle.
Also I've seen Schoolcraft, Michigan pop up lately in a couple of cases too (not this one).

It happens a heck of a lot more than you'd think. Since JTL was a former soldier it's possible that he was staying with her while he was still active duty. I was stationed at Ft.Campbell in the 90's and IMO it's as corrupt now as it was then, if not more so.

Ironically there's another soldier murder story out of Ft. Campbell on 48 Hours right now. In this one the soldier, Sgt. Burke, was charged with killing his wife. Three mistrials and then a fourth. Story ongoing - anyway,

about JTL, he took off and drove to Colorado immediately after the husband was killed. That causes me to believe he wasn't active duty anymore at that time. LE tracked him down in CO and arrested him there at a later date.

Having lived on Army posts myself, especially when you have kids, it's difficult to keep to yourself though. Since they had at least three children, she'd probably have to interact with other mothers/neighbors making her living situation more visible. If nothing else, neighbors would get nosey after seeing a man going in and out. If they lived off post, I can imagine the scenario of him living with her (while going undetected) better. Unless she claimed he was her brother or something. Still, for six months?
 
From December 2014:

http://www.cadillacnews.com/news_story/?story_id=1823115&year=2014&issue=20141204

The murder trial in which a former Cadillac woman is a defendant in the death of her husband, a U.S. Army sergeant and Cadillac native, continues to be on hold pending a decision from the Kentucky Court of Appeals... Jessie Lucille Goslyn, 26, and Jarred Tabor Long, 25, face trial in Christian County Circuit Court in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

Vincent Goslyn was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in a remote area of Highway 756 in Christian County in February of 2012. He had served two tours of duty in Afghanistan as a sergeant in the U.S. Army but was found murdered within a week of coming home. He was a Cadillac High School graduate and has two children who live in Cadillac as well as three more who were in Jessie's custody when Goslyn was killed...

The defense had made a motion to suppress evidence, namely, incriminating statements Goslyn allegedly made at the office of military police at Fort Campbell... The statement by Goslyn is important to the case, Pryor said. She also noted it is better to receive a ruling on the evidence before a trial is held, rather than after.
