new information from the FBI on the next
update will receive in the landfill
search for evidence in Jolene Cummings
disappearance sky 4 flying over it today
showing crews in day five of the tedious
process
the FBI is planning on holding a news
briefing this Friday which is the final
scheduled day for its search today the
FBI said temperatures are very high and
every precaution is being taken to make
sure the crew is safe that includes
these cooling tents and cooling vests
meanwhile Kimberly Kessler is still the
sole suspect and her co-workers
disappearance she was seen dumping a
white trash bag in that's what
investigators are looking for to see if
it holds clues news 4 jacks reporter
Elizabeth Campbell joins us from the
Duval County Jail Elizabeth you spoke
with a former FBI agent today about this
painstaking process
I did and Kimberly Kessler is being out
here in one of these cells in the Duval
County Jail and although she's only
charged with grand theft auto
the former FBI agent says because
Cummings is presumed not to still be
alive that likely investigators are
trying to find evidence that would piece
Kessler to the death of Cummings and now
she says because of that she reminds
that there are no statute of limitations
when it comes to murder which means
investigators have all the time that
they need new sky4 video today showing
investigators combing through trash at
the Chesser Island landfill for the
fifth day in a row in hot dangerous
conditions the FBI said at a news
conference Monday usually the
probability for success and a landfill
search isn't that high but because of
the work of investigators to narrow down
the timeframe of when the garbage was
dumped by Kessler they expect a higher
probability of success retired Special
Agent Tony crabbit has more than 20
years experience with the FBI she was at
the same landfill when summer Thompson's
body was found there nearly nine years
ago
she says landfill searches are very
difficult but has faith in these
investigators they have the suspect on
tape right throwing things in the
garbage can or in a dumpster and so
really if they can find one piece of
evidence that further links her directly
to the disappearance of Jolene I think
that's a big success
I asked krabit how investigators will
keep the investigation moving forward if
they don't have success at the landfill
if they can find one shred of evidence
they still have the burden of proof
write proof beyond a reasonable doubt
that this suspect was involved in or
murder Jolene Cummings so if they can
find something that was on the person
Angeline's person that day that would be
a huge step in you know proving this
case she says there are no statute of
limitation on a murder case and both she
and State Attorney Melissa Nelson remind
you can have a successful murder trial
without a body
I also asked her about Kessler being
here in the Duval County Jail you may
remember she was transferred here a few
weeks ago after she accused Nassau
County of poisoning her that FBI agent
says that investigators likely aren't
concerned about where Kessler is being
held as long as she is in their custody
and is being taken care of when it comes
to health and welfare because she will
likely have via need to be a part of the
court process reporting live from the
Duval County Jail Elisabeth Campbell
Channel four the local station Elizabeth
since Tony crabbit has been on-site at
this landfill where investigators
searched it before did she say how they
prepare for such a tedious task well joy
she said it's really difficult for them
to prepare that really there's not any
specific way that they're already
working in one of the filthiest places
you can that there's dangerous
conditions and on top of that they're
looking for evidence that may possibly
link to the body of somebody they she
said really the main thing that keeps
them holding on and going through this
process is just knowing that Jolene's
family is out there holding on to hope
that these investigators are doing
everything they can to possibly find
even just the smallest bit of evidence
