The Death of Haley Cheney, a Beloved “All-American Girl”. Concerns of a Rush to Judgement from an “Investigation” that was “Phoned in" (at Best), Riddled with Indifference, Pre-Judgement and a Misogynistic Bias.

Welcome to this explosive and investigatory episode of Light ‘Em Up.

Our global audience has reached 119 countries. Spread the word! 

This is the story of the tragic death of an “All-American Girl” and the sloppy investigation that ensued.

Out of Aubrey, Texas, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth to investigate the death of Haley Cheney, a 24-year-old, new mother who was found sitting in her car in the driveway of her boyfriend’s home early on December 3, 2023 — with a bullet in the right temple of her head.

We’re honored to sit and talk with (Mrs.) Jackie Stewart Alvarado, Haley’s aunt. 

According to Jackie, “Haley had the biggest, bluest eyes and she gave THE ABSOLUTE BEST hugs. She always greeted everyone with the words, “hello beautiful”.  She never met a stranger, and she absolutely loved, loved, loved animals.  Haley loved life. She was filled with hope, promise and potential.  She loved fully and completely her family and those around her.  She was one of the most selfless individuals.”  

Haley was thrilled to be a new mother — she adored her baby boy.  Her life had barely just begun. Haley had to work very hard in order to maintain the peace and to encourage a positive perspective in the relationship with her boyfriend.

She wanted to be loved by her boyfriend, yet time and again, she was confronted with threats of physical violence by him.  We'll showcase just one of many verbal threats made by Kristopher Winston, as was posted on Facebook (according to members of Haley’s family).

The City of Little Elm Police Department caught this case.  That may have been one of the most detrimental and injurious factors in the case.

Police departments are entrusted with a diverse set of tasks requiring a high degree of integrity within their agencies. Without that integrity, bad things happen, and people and cases suffer.

Determining the correct cause and manner of death are among the chief responsibilities of the forensic pathologist, not a street cop or even a Detective Sgt.  When confronted with a case having a questionable manner of death, it is important for scene evidence, witness statements, and forensic autopsy findings to be thoroughly reviewed before certifying the manner of death.

We examine the factors that hurt a thorough investigation and led to a rush to judgement that this case was a suicide.  Haley’s family vehemently disagrees with this finding.

There’s nothing common about murder nor a suicide. Each case has its unique aspects and signatures. Every case, victim and member of the surviving family deserves to have their loved one’s case investigated to its fullest extent.

The investigative process involves both science and art.  For an investigation to be effective it must follow a few basic principles.  Following the acronym “T-A-R-O-T” (just like the card) ...

The incident must be investigated in a: Timely, Accurate, Relevant, Objective & Thorough manner.  We'll break down each aspect of a proper investigation and discuss the 5 F's of Murder.  We educate on IPV & IPH (Intimate Partner Violence and Intimate Partner Homicide).

3 women are killed every day at the hands of those who "claim" to love them.

You can judge for yourself if that's what transpired in this case. 

We deliver the facts ... not the fiction.
