Murder Of Jordan Kelly

NEWS 28 - Police in the murder investigation of 22 year old Jordan Kelly, a gay college student who was found dead on August 16, 2024, are becoming increasingly frustrated as DNA analysis deadended their ongoing investigation. Police in New Shire are stumped as no person was connected to DNA found on the 22 year old's socks, shoes and body.

According to investigative findings, his socks, shoes, and upper body were covered in what is believed to be the killers saliva. A forensic lab for the State Police found no suspect in the case. Spokesman for the agency Nate Bryant, said that it is common for no data to be found for people who have no contact with police, or who don't have an arrest record.

"We analyzed Mr. Kelly's shoes and socks for DNA, and the saliva that we found on them on Friday, yielded us no results," said a Forensic pathologist for the agency. "The DNA we have was recorded for future reference, but as of now we don't have a suspect or the murderer in our sights yet. We are asking for witnesses to come forward, so we can give Kelly's family some closure from his death."

Police did say that it was confirmed that Jordan was in a gay relationship, but the boyfriend was not known by his friends, as they say he "never let us meet anyone until he was sure of if it would work out." They said that he had starting dating a new boyfriend weeks before he was found dead.

"This is really important to gather as much information as possible so that we can get a collective picture of what is going on," said NSSP Commissioner Lee Adams. "This case is getting frustrating because no one will come forward with new information, and his friends don't know anything about the new boyfriend. We are going to run through all and any leads we get. His family deserves answers."

Police have begun interviewing dorm residents who live within the area of his dorm including neighbors and other family. They are expecting the investigation to take a while, with Bradford University shutting down Dorm Building C for the duration of the investigation.
