The police investigation into the killings of Marlin Adarryl Barnes and Timwanika Lumpkins was delayed at first because they had few leads to work with. Authorities interviewed a number of persons who knew Timwanika and Marlin but came up with nothing that pointed to a suspect.
Furthermore, with the popularity and friendliness of college students on campus, no one could comprehend why someone would wish to harm such lovely individuals.
Finally, the investigation led authorities to Labrant Dennis, Timwanika Lumpkins’ ex-boyfriend and the father of her child. Although Lumpkins and Dennis’ relationship was finished, he did not appear to be over her.
Furthermore, the show reveals how witnesses claimed they saw Dennis pursue Timwanika and even threaten her because of their broken relationship.
