Jeannine Jaramillo, of Albuquerque, who was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in connection with a fatal car crash in 2022.
Jaramillo made a frenzied 911 call claiming to have been kidnapped, leading to a police chase on I-25 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
During the pursuit, Jaramillo sped the wrong way on the interstate, causing a head-on collision that killed Santa Fe police Officer Robert Duran and retired firefighter Frank Lovato.
Investigators found out that Jaramillo had faked the kidnapping and she alone was responsible for the deadly crash.
She had even done this fake kidnapping ruse before with the same incredulous details…similar incidents, including leading police on chases in stolen vehicles and claiming to have been held hostage.
A jury convicted Jaramillo of the murder charges, and she was sentenced to two life sentences plus nearly eight additional years.
Even after all of these facts came out in her trial, Jaramillo managed to to lob one last insult and act of disrespect to the victim’s families by claiming that SHE herself was the victim and the Police caused the fatalities and should have never even pursued her!
Can you believe that? Totally heartless!
