The Jasmine Forbes Case: A Trail That Didn’t End Where It Should Have
Little Dickies,
Some cases end with a verdict.
Some cases end with a name, a motive, a clean line drawn from crime to consequence.
And then there are cases like this one.
The kind that fracture.
The kind that give you just enough answers to feel like justice is coming, and then pull the floor out from under you.
Because the truth is this:
We know what happened in Pennsylvania.
We do not know what happened to Jasmine Forbes.
And that is the part that should keep you up at night.
The House
It always starts somewhere ordinary.
A house. A yard. A quiet stretch of land that does not look like it belongs in a police report.
132 Neil Road in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
On the morning of February 23, 2022, that quiet broke open.
Two men were found dead. Shot in the head. Not a struggle. Not chaos. Execution.
Frankie Dean Thomas.
Eddie Lee Shaw.
Then came the fire.
Not the cause of death. The cover.
A deliberate burn meant to erase what had already been done. To destroy evidence. To blur timelines. To make the story harder to tell.
But fire does not erase everything.
Because there was someone else tied to that house.
Someone who did not die there.
Someone who disappeared.
Jasmine Forbes.
She was living there. She was present that morning. And after the violence, she was gone.
No confirmed sightings. No clear timeline. Just absence.
And absence, in cases like this, is never neutral.
The Woman
Jasmine Lynn Forbes was 31 years old.
She was not a headline. Not a statistic. Not a case file waiting to be archived.
She was a person with a life that extended beyond that house. Beyond that morning.
But something had already begun closing in on her.
Investigators would later point to Larry Burns. A man described as obsessed. Possessive. A man who, according to witness accounts, believed Jasmine belonged to him.
That kind of thinking does not stay quiet.
It escalates.
There were reports of conflict. Tension. A $50,000 bounty allegedly placed on Frankie Thomas.
Let that sit for a second.
A bounty.
This was not random violence. This was building. This was targeted.
And Jasmine was at the center of it.
So she ran.
Or at least, that is what we are told.
But running leaves a trail.
And Jasmine’s trail disappears.
The Town
Shippensburg is not a place built for mystery.
It is a place of routine. Of familiarity. Of people who notice when something is off.
Which makes what happened next even more unsettling.
Because after the murders, after the fire, after Jasmine vanished, there was no clear ripple.
No confirmed sightings. No steady stream of tips placing her along a route.
Just silence.
And in a small town, silence is loud.
Someone saw something that morning. Someone heard something. Someone knows more than what made it into reports.
The timeline exists. It just has not been fully spoken.
The Distance
Now we stretch the map.
From Pennsylvania to Florida.
Nearly 1,000 miles.
That is not a short escape. That is not a quick decision. That is a journey.
And yet, we do not know how Jasmine made it.
Did she drive
Did someone take her
Did someone help her
Did she trust the wrong person
These are not small gaps. These are the entire spine of the case.
Months later, Jasmine was found in Pasco County, Florida.
Her death was ruled a homicide.
And just like that, the case split in two.
Because Florida does not explain Pennsylvania. And Pennsylvania does not explain Florida.
Somewhere between those two points is a missing chapter.
A long one.
One filled with hours, days, maybe weeks of movement that we cannot account for.
One theory says the danger followed her. That whoever was responsible for the violence in Pennsylvania did not stop there.
Another says something even more unsettling.
That Jasmine escaped one threat, only to encounter another.
Imagine that.
Escaping fear. Thinking you made it out. Only to meet someone new who sees vulnerability instead of survival.
The Man
Larry Burns has been charged in connection with the Pennsylvania murders and the arson.
The case against him is not light. It is heavy with intent. With escalation. With control.
It paints a picture of a man who does not accept boundaries.
But here is the fracture line.
No one has been charged with Jasmine Forbes’ murder in Florida.
Not Larry Burns. Not Cordaryl Burns. Not anyone.
So we are left standing in that space between what we know and what we do not.
And the question becomes unavoidable.
What does he know about what happened after Jasmine disappeared?
What does anyone involved know?
And who has stayed quiet?
The Missing Chapter
This is the part that matters most.
Not the charges already filed. Not the courtroom that will eventually decide the Pennsylvania case.
The missing chapter.
Jasmine’s final days.
Where she slept. Who she spoke to. Who she trusted. Who she feared. Who last saw her alive.
That story exists.
It lives in someone’s memory. Someone’s phone. Someone’s silence.
And until that story is told, this case is not finished.
Say It
Someone saw her leave.
Someone saw her arrive.
Someone knows how she got from Pennsylvania to Florida.
Someone knows who she was with.
Someone knows what happened in the end.
This is not a mystery that vanished.
This is a truth that has not been spoken.
If you know something, say it.
If you heard something, say it.
If you were there, or knew someone who was, now is the time.
Because Jasmine Forbes deserves more than a broken timeline.
She deserves the full story.
And her family deserves to finally hear it.
