Madison County is expected to host Carrie Jones’ murder trial next summer. The hearing in Cedar County District Court on Monday confirmed the tentative schedule. Jones faces charges of first-degree murder, accessory to murder, and evidence tampering for the deaths of four Laurel residents in August 2022.
In a related case, her husband, Jason Jones, was convicted in September on multiple charges, including first-degree murder and arson. He was found guilty for the killings of Gene and Janet Twiford, their daughter Dana, and Michele Ebeling. Jason shot the Twifords and set their house on fire before killing Ebeling and burning her home as well.
Carrie Jones is charged in connection to the murder of Gene Twiford. Prosecutors allege that she pushed her husband to kill Twiford in retaliation for inappropriate comments made toward her over several years. This claim is central to her charges.
The case surrounding Carrie Jones brings continued attention to the violent events of August 2022. The deaths of the four victims shocked the community, and the ongoing trials have been closely watched by the public. Carrie’s trial is set to address her alleged role in the murders.
Madison County’s involvement reflects its role in managing high-profile cases. As the trial date approaches, attorneys are preparing to present their cases, which will offer further insight into the circumstances surrounding these tragic deaths.
