Sixteen-year-old arrived at the Evansville, Indiana, home of then thirty-year-old boyfriend, Joshua Jeremy Fairley, in the early morning hours of June 24, 2010. What didn't expect was to find another woman in the bed that routinely shared with Fairley. Nevertheless, when spotted Summer Jones lying in bed next to the man was in love with, began to display the teenage temper that comes with immaturity. started screaming to let in the house, banging on the doors, walls, and windows. was screaming for the occupants to let into the house. managed to break a window in the bedroom and attempted to climb through it, though Joshua Fairley was able to push back out of the window. eventually used a key and gained entry through the front door. A terrified Summer Jones had gathered clothing and sought refuge in the kitchen of the Virginia Street home. As hurried to dress the kitchen light snapped on and Jones was faced with an out-of-control being restrained by Fairley. was screaming, "Who you got in here? A sixteen-year-old? Is it a sixteen-year-old?" Once Joshua had successfully pinned to the floor, Summer Jones could leave the home without falling victim to the fisticuffs that obviously intended.

Summer fled to the home of father, Martin Brunty. Brunty lived just three-tenths of a mile from the home of Joshua Fairley, a literal five-minute walk. Once inside the home of father, spoke with him briefly and then asked Martin to accompany back to the Virginia Street home to pick up the vehicle that forgot that had left there when fled the home in terror. When Summer and father arrived back at vehicle, parked in front of Fairley's home, the passenger side window lay shattered on the curb and in the seat of car. Jones called 911 dispatch to report the act of criminal mischief and vandalism and Kevin Donahue, an officer with the Evansville Police Department, responded. Summer Jones told Donahue what happened inside the house, explaining that's why knew who had smashed out window. told the officer that had last seen inside the house with Fairley. Summer had blood on, the bedroom window was busted out, a purse and wallet lay unattended on the front porch and the door was broken. Officer Kevin Donahue went through the purse found on the porch, and just next to the overturned chair found the identification of Desirae. Officer Donahue used the identification that he found and asked Summer Jones if could identify as the person that tried to attack inside the home. Jones positively identified as being the woman that was inside the home, and the one suspected had shattered the passenger side window of car. Officer Donahue knocked on the broken front door, got no response, and retreated to his car. Summer Jones and father, Martin, left the scene to get the window on the car fixed, leaving the officer alone in front of the Virginia Street home. Although there was blood on Summer Jones, blood on the bottom of the officer's shoes, and in his car, both were walking on broken glass and blood already stained the broken glass still in the window frame, one can only guess what possessed an officer of the law to completely ignore evidence of the violent crime that had taken place and sit in his patrol car for a period of over two hours. Without further investigation, Officer Donahue left the scene.

Later that evening, around five o'clock, local pizza shop owner Dave Frank sent an employee to the house to check on him after a phone call to Joshua Fairley went unanswered. Employee Jeff Phillips called his boss from the home of Fairley, telling Frank that the front door and bedroom window was broken and was dead on the floor, a pool of blood beneath. It is worth noting that was found six feet from the window that was visible from the front porch with a sword in a sheath on lap. That would indicate that either the officer missed the body of while he was there, or wasn't there when the officer stood on the front porch. If the latter was the case, it is backed up by Joshua Fairley, who claimed that he watched the officer sitting in his car while was slowly dying on the floor. When police finally entered the house, Joshua Fairley was found in the bathroom, a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Responding paramedics whisked Fairley away, ultimately sending him to an Indianapolis hospital. Though Joshua placed the gun under his chin and pulled the trigger, the bullet would exit the top of his head, blasting through his left eye and leaving Fairley close to death, but alive. Emergency surgery to remove his damaged eye and fix his skull and jaw, as well as a frontal lobotomy, was performed. After spending six weeks in the hospital, Fairley was arrested in Indianapolis for the murder of.

The employee that was sent to check on the whereabouts of Fairley was the boyfriend of aunt Angie, Jeff Phillips. Both he and his girlfriend claimed that they knew Fairley well, but they had no idea that knew him. Fairley claims that he had a sexual relationship with for a year before death. He further explained that the relationship was able to be maintained with spending a lot of time at his house because Angie would often cover for the couple, allowing to visit Joshua instead of requiring the young girl to stay away from the much older man. mother, Robin, seemed to be confused as to why was at that Virginia Street house, not even knowing that daughter was in Evansville at the time.

Fairley opted to plead guilty to the murder of in exchange for 50 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections, though the family of wanted a trial. Fairley and his attorney would file post-conviction relief but was denied on two occasions. In 2016, Fairley made a case for a retrial, citing his mental state at the time of the guilty plea as well as ineffective counsel and denial of due process. His case was denied and he will remain behind bars until at least 2033.
