Private Investigators Solve Unsolved Crimes

It may require a private investigator to find out what really happened To Michelle O'Connell.

Michelle O'Connell is a woman from northern Florida who died under suspicious circumstances on September 2, 2010. O'Connell was found with a gunshot wound to the head. Her death was officially ruled a suicide, but many of her friends and family members claim O'Connell was murdered. The case is controversial in part because O'Connell was dating a deputy in the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, Jeremy Banks. There are also other elements of the case that are raising suspicion.

One of these suspicious elements is the fact that the agent who was in charge of O'Connell's case for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Rusty Rodgers, is currently on administrative leave because of an investigation into allegations of professional misconduct. Other issues with the case have been brought up by Florida-based private investigator named Clu Wright.

Private Investigative Services In O'Connell's Case

According to Jacksonville news outlet WJXT, Wright compiled a 92-page report based on evidence he found that raised questions about the circumstances of O'Connell's death. For example, in a picture from the crime scene, a shirt can be seen on the futon above O'Connell's body. Wright says that a substance that looks like blood appears on the shirt, as well as gunshot residue and something that could be a bullet hole. Also, Banks' gun holster can be seen in crime scene pictures, and evidence from the investigation seems to indicate Banks agreeing with Rodgers that the gun could not have fallen into the position that it was photographed in at the crime scene.

As a result of this new evidence and a new witness that has supposedly come forward in the case, members of O'Connell's family are asking for an inquisition to be conducted into her death by the coroner. Commander Charles Mulligan at the St. Johns County Sheriff Office released a statement that three different independent investigations have lead to the incident being ruled a suicide.
