“We wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you and to show our humble appreciation specifically to Jana Guyewski Latigar.
She vested her trust in us sufficient to sit down and tell her highly personal story about the passing of her sister
We hold our guests in the highest regards.
We have a double mission when we talk with a guest of ours on our show.
Tell the story, do it justice so that justice can come to the situation and to treat our special guests like family.”
-Phil Rizzo
A death investigation is supposed to answer lingering questions, not generate more uncertainty.
No matter who you are or what you do in life, if your spouse is dead in your home under any circumstances you can expect to be considered a suspect. That never happened for Crystal’s husband in this case. Why?
A song written to West Carroll Parish Sheriff Scott Mathews, Chief Deputy Allen Irby, and District Attorney Penny Douciere, simply asking for an apology for what wasn’t done in Crystal’s case.
Jana Guyewski-Lautigar, the sister of Crystal McCrory Jones, travels to Washington DC with private investigator Sheila Wysocki and three other families, including Rae Andreacchio, the mother of Christian Andreacchio.
This is the fifth video in the series, and it covers two key reports from Crystal's case. Crystal McCrory Jones was found deceased in her home on February 9, 2023. Her death was ruled as self-inflicted, but there have been a multitude of questions that have come up since then. The West Carrol Parish Sheriff's Office determined it was self-inflicted a mere hour and forty five minutes after Crystal was found.

Crystal McCrory Jones was found deceased on February 9, 2023 at her home in Louisiana. Her death was almost immediately ruled a suicide, but there are questions about the little to no investigation performed by the West Carroll Parrish Sheriff's Department. The "investigation" was riddled with errors, discrepancies, and lies. This is an introduction to her case. More videos to come.

Sheila Wysocki tells the story of the facts around Crystal McCrory Jones’ case.
In the middle of the hardest season of my life, I realized my purpose had changed. I no longer wanted to be confined to the four walls of a classroom—I wanted to change systems, influence policy, and help ensure families receive the investigations and accountability they deserve. This award from Tulane University isn't just a recognition of academic achievement. It's a reminder that even on my darkest days, my standard remains unchanged.
The day I landed in Washington, D.C., I wasn't just arriving in our nation's capital—I was arriving with a purpose. Alongside my husband, Scott, I carried more than luggage. I carried my sister Crystal's story, the voices of families searching for answers, and a commitment to advocate for higher standards in death investigations.
The day I landed in Washington, D.C., I wasn't just arriving in our nation's capital—I was arriving with a purpose. Alongside my husband, Scott, I carried more than luggage. I carried my sister Crystal's story. This trip wasn't about looking back. It was about moving forward with hope, determination, and the belief that every family deserves a thorough, transparent investigation.
In May of 2024, I was preparing for a trip to Washington DC with Private Investigator Sheila Wysocki- Alongside 3 other families from southern states fighting the same injustices in their loved ones cases.
This was her.
This is who my girls, still to this day, grieve for.

Driven by her sister's mysterious death, a woman's life transforms into a struggle for understanding and justice, as the truth remains elusive.
For everyone else driving by, it was a billboard. For me, it was my big sister’s face — larger than life, still being seen, still being remembered, and still giving me another reason to say her name.
A moment bigger than one family. In 2025, Louisiana lawmakers unanimously passed HCR 60, calling on Congress to create penalties for the improper packaging and labeling of cremated human remains.
A beautiful tribute to my sister.
The face. The voice. The enthusiasm. 😂 Crystal delivering a very important announcement about her love for tapioca pudding in the most Crystal way possible.
No context. No explanation. Just Crystal sending us another completely ridiculous video because apparently looking normal was never the goal. 😂
Crystal’s youngest niece presenting some pretty hardcore evidence for why a little storm was absolutely not a good enough reason to keep her from Aunt Crystal’s house. I mean… look at that toothless grin. Who was saying no to that face? Definitely not Crystal.
My youngest daughter who was very persistent, as you can see, made myself, her sister, her Aunt Crystal, and her cousin play ring around the rosey over and over and over again. It’s a roughly recorded video but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I’ll just let her words speak for themselves… Lord, I miss her so much!!! Tears of joy, humor, and pain all at once.
About a year before we lost Crystal, Aunt Crystal and my very convincing youngest daughter were plotting against me. 😂 Apparently, I never bought her toys, so naturally the only reasonable solution was for Aunt Crystal to adopt her. ❤️ Just one of those silly, ordinary moments I’d give anything to hear again.
Just Crystal being Crystal. 😂 A distorted face, a simple question about Mother’s Day plans, and a group message to all her siblings. It’s the silly, ordinary moments like this that we miss the most. ❤️

Nearly two years after Crystal McCrory Jones’s death was ruled a suicide, her family was still asking whether the investigation had done enough to support that conclusion. In this KNOE report, Crystal’s family and private investigator, Sheila Wysocki”, raise concerns about the handling of the scene, evidence, and investigative process.
Three years after Crystal McCrory Jones’s death, her family and friends gathered to celebrate the woman behind the case and the life behind the questions. Among those who came were 12 TikTok creators who traveled from across the United States to stand beside Crystal’s family in person. KTVE captured a Celebration of Life that was about more than the continued search for answers—it was about love, community, and ensuring Crystal is remembered for far more than the circumstances of her death.
Crystal McCrory Jones’s death was ruled a suicide—but the questions surrounding the investigation never went away. In this in-depth report, KTVE/KARD examines the circumstances of Crystal’s death, the inconsistencies her family uncovered, and their continued fight for an independent review. This isn’t about declaring what happened to Crystal. It’s about asking whether enough was done to know for certain.
On February 7, 2026, we gathered in the town Crystal took her last breathe in, Oak Grove, Louisiana, to celebrate her life—and we weren’t alone. 12 TikTok creators traveled from across the U.S to stand beside me and my family and friends, turning people we had met through advocacy and Crystal’s story into people who showed up for us in real life.
When We Fall Apart
Crystal sent me “When We Fall Apart” after I lost my grandmother the year before she died. At the time, it was my big sister trying to help me through grief—reminding me that it was okay to hurt, to cry, and to fall apart when you lose someone you love. I never imagined that just one year later, I would choose that same song for her funeral. What Crystal once sent to comfort me became one of the songs I used to say goodbye to her.
Drink a Beer
Chosen by my twin brother, Josh, for Crystal’s funeral, Luke Bryan’s “Drink a Beer” accompanied photographs celebrating the sister we shared and the memories we never expected to become so precious. Sometimes grief isn’t complicated—it’s simply missing someone you love and wishing you could sit beside them one more time. This was Josh’s song for his sister, and another piece of Crystal’s story told through the eyes of someone who loved her.
I’m No Stranger to the Rain
Chosen by our older brother, Dane, this song accompanied photographs of Crystal at her funeral. It was his way of honoring his little sister—the life she lived, the storms she weathered, and the strength that was so much a part of who she was. Through these pictures, you get another glimpse of Crystal as we knew her, remembered her, and will always love her.
You Can’t Lose Me
A lifetime of memories told through photographs, set to Faith Hill’s “You Can’t Lose Me”—a song that will forever remind me of Crystal. She was ten years older than me, my big sister, my second mom, and my best friend. These pictures tell a piece of our story that words never fully could.
Before there was a case, there was Crystal. My sister. My best friend. A mother, daughter, sister and aunt who was deeply loved. This video, shared at her funeral, is a glimpse of the woman behind the story.
