In the letter, written to a friend and shared through the accompanying video from Kellen Carr's Facebook page, Vaden criticizes law enforcement officials who investigated the crime.
"They didn't do their job properly and let them cover up the evidence."
Though Vaden is not specific about the identities of them, one of them apparently is Jayda Kyle's maternal grandfather, attorney Judd McPherson.
"Judd is lying," Vaden wrote, adding, "I've fallen victim to a f---ed up system."
Vaden said he is concerned about going to trial and fears receiving a life sentence, which is the maximum sentence he can receive for second degree murder.
"I just can't sit in prison for something I didn't do. I'm getting burned for being loyal to the wrong people."
Again, Vaden was not specific about who the wrong people were.
"There's no way they can go back and investigate because they've covered their tracks." Vaden also said "six to seven people in Jayda's room handling everything."
Vaden compared the experience to one he had in high school. "It's like playing Webb City in football. When we played them, you didn't stand a chance no matter what you do."
Vaden described himself as "hurt and lost with no way to win. I need a miracle. I don't have the money to defend myself."
Vaden also indicated his race may have something to do with his situation.
"They always talk about constitutional rights, but they forget that the dudes who wrote it had slaves and they weren't talking about us."

(Note: I have seen some comments from people who do not understand the meaning of this message. It is simple- this one-man news operation is the way I make my living. In order to be able to continue to provide the type of coverage I have done on this story and others that have been featured on the Turner Report, as well as other investigative reports, breaking news, political coverage, free obituaries and the other services that can be found on this blog, it is necessary, just like NPR or PBS to ask for money from time to time. It is the most distasteful part of what I do, but I very much want and plan to continue doing it. Thank you for your patience.)
The Turner Report/Inside Joplin continues to report news that is not available from other area media sources, but this is a one-man operation and it takes money, especially to provide in-depth, investigative reporting, as well as important news about our community, crime, courts, and to continue to provide free obituaries and not charge grieving families hundreds of dollars for something that was once considered news (and is still is at the Turner Report/Inside Joplin.)
Currently, the Turner Report receives approximately 14,000 unique visitors a day, Inside Joplin between 11,000 and 12,000 and Inside Joplin Obituaries about 6,000. Of that total, the number that have subscribed or made contributions is barely over 100.
At one point a few months ago, it appeared that even with the small number of contributors, the Turner Report/Inside Joplin, was going to be able to continue at the same pace, with the same amount of content and perhaps even more. Since that time, as Turner Report readers are aware, my budget has been thrown off considerably, due in part to unexpected car payments I am having to make thanks to an uninsured driver and I will soon be incurring considerably more costs of a major nature due to something I have delayed doing for several years, but which circumstances are requiring me to do now. (More information about that will be revealed later.)
Subscriptions are $30 for a year, $3 per month or $1 per week by PayPal or credit card if you use the PayPal button below.
Contributions of any amount, large or small, can be made through the "donate" button.
Contributions or subscriptions can also be mailed to me at Randy Turner, 2306 E. 8th, Joplin, MO 64801.

I too believe it will take a miracle for justice to be served. But I know that God still performs miracles.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I continue to pray for this young man.
Thank you 🙏🏻
DeletePlease keep doing so!
DeleteNo matter your side on this why don't they just move the trial???
ReplyDeleteIf you think he did it, then all of this extra involvement of the victim's family just leaves grounds for an appeal, wasting time and resources down the road, re-opening old wounds.
If you don't, then it's pretty self explanatory.
Not moving the trial doesn't equal justice for the victim and their family, unless there's more at play.
Please pray. I remember back so many years ago a small town outside of Joplin, to the southeast, two men sodomized and killed a you you girl and dumped her, I may not have all details correct, BUT MY POINT IS THEIR TRIALS WERE MOVED BECAUSE OF THE PUBLICITY OF CASE, HELLO JOPLIN SMH!!!
ReplyDeleteI pray every night for this young man I pray for God to see the ones who have done this pay..What people dont really understand is they will pay they will pay for that young man sitting in jail for something they could of prevented they are twisted to think God will not make them pay for what they have sowed.
ReplyDeletesays every letter from every inmate ever incarcerated
ReplyDeleteIt utterly disgusts me that people hate the McPherson family for being successful.
ReplyDeleteMany outside sources investigated and hoped to find one smidgent of evidence against the mother so she too could be charged.
The murdering boyfriend has yet to implicate her as well.
Yes she posted questionable things but who wouldn't be grasping at straws as their baby lay dying?
She loved Halen and planned a future around that.
How shocked she was when the autopsy confirmed murder.
Her chats with ppl taking out of context.
So many ppl need to be on their knees!!
With what mercy ye judge.
Ye meaning YOU shall be judged!
No I do not know any party involved.i however am an investigator who has every minute bit of this in files that I and others have poured over.
May God have mercy on your souls
thanks Devyn- spell check and proof read. May He have mercy on you and your parents souls! I pray Brenlee who is in the dark forgives you all.
Delete8:07- please elaborate..not sure how screenshots are fake news. especially the convo between amber and Devyn "I haven't told anyone this" yup - haven't told Brenlee... poor girl! Mommy and daddy keeping you in the dark so you can fight for her.. ignorance is bliss
ReplyDeleteThe chat was that once cps was involved she said they are saying jalen must have hurt her but with all her heart she didn't want to believe that.she believed that it was a health problem that hasn't been diagnosed.
ReplyDeleteGet those ppl to share the entire chat not just cherry picking.and no mack is not a viable candidate for custody.cps ruled him out as placement long ago.
How much you want to bet that the comments from 8:07, 8:25, 9:04 & 9:07 are Becky Kemble.. haha. Ive seen so many of her posts, looks just like her.
ReplyDeleteShe is in Facebook jail for 5 more days and we had all her other accounts removed so you would lose lol
DeleteSo now mack is a piece of crap now?.jalen had to be daddy because they didnt have a daddy!! Where is that pedestal that jalen put mack on in his letter? And mack? Trying to get custody of his son taking peoples hard earned money to pay attorney then gets arrested for stealing? Devyn has posted very littlethat i have seen. And for him to say they havent greived? Wth does he know ? All he knows is what hes been told. I really wonder how many more stories jalen will come up with. I understand hes scared and his life is at stake here but IF he was innocent in this has he not learned yet to shut the hell up yet? Did he not learn anything ? NO his mouth keeps running! NOBODY PUT JALEN WHERE HE IS AT BUT JALEN HIMSELF
ReplyDeleteLet's just say judd,becky,and devyn need to have several seats and make sure their seats are not close to social media! Just waiting for someone to post so they can respond!
ReplyDeleteIf they shut down Becky, it was only because she was revealing who was truly being corrupt. Let me guess, they threatened to sue her? They were fine with her spreading lies for their agenda. Stephanie Patterson was feeding her lies and what to say and about whom including a certain judge. They all need to be held accountable as they took an oath to serve. Randy knows exactly what happened, so he need a to come clean and expose it. Instead he is still participating in their agenda by trying to sway the public opinion with this type of article. Did you confirm he actually wrote it. Were you given a copy of this letter, too, since you have been given other documents?
DeleteThankfully, people took screen shots of Becky's screen shots, so it cannot just go away.
Just like everything else in this corrupt country. The black man is gonna pay the price. Anytime a white can shift blame to a black person they do it. This area, this state, this country needs to be burnt down and the oppressed need to have their day. Turn the tables on those that have raped and broken people for 2 long.
ReplyDeleteMad much?
DeleteMy God, read the comments on this story. None of this should be anyone's concern except for the family. All of the people name dropping people are trying to wedge themselves into this story. Selfish, busy bodies who want to be connected to anything of notoriety in an attempt to prove that they are some kind importance in certain social circles. Pathetic. Nauseating. Tend to your own lives.

ReplyDeleteI've got an analogy for Jalen. It's not like a football game you can't win....it's more like a grown man against a baby girl. She just couldn't win.

Please do not lie about the Vaden family and what they have supposedly seen, heard,said,or done. As we all know they have kept it very classy and very respectful thus far! That's more than they can say for some!
ReplyDeleteSo corrupt..
ReplyDeleteJUSTICE FOR JAYDA is all we want
That is the only person that matters in all of this drama!!!!
Stop putting words in the Vaden families mouth. Stop putting a witch hunt out on them and threaten violence, mom raised her kids and extras with respect BY HERSELF no more threatening her. M is not Jalen even tho they look alike stop talking smack to him. Q can't even take her babies out without fear of people being rude.They didn't do it and don't know anymore then we do. At visit Jalen don't talk bout that stuff he talks bout us staying strong and talking to his son, life and what he needs like shirts. They just like McPherson family didn't know J or D was capable of killing. Someone snapped that night. As for M, he is a ADDICT(not just weed smoker) who needs supervised visits but not to take his visits away for good. Q needs his mom,dad,grandparents, uncles,aunts,and cousins. He lost his sis and friends who were like family. The Vaden family and friends who are more like family are a bunch so he always had kids to play with. The verdict is in God's hands.
ReplyDeleteP.S. D I'm glad u found God like most criminals who r guilty of a crime. The whole time we let u in, u was never this religious till after baby j died.
I have bonified, legit proof PSU did not have a game the night of incident, that one said person in question said he was at, I do believe I emailed all I had to this said blogger that keeps pursuing other paths of information, maybe I was right and that information won’t be put here? And the fact that there is/was a go fund me for Jayda that I personally saw on Twitter, why? She gave life to others, and her cremated remains are, I’m sure, with her mother, rightfully?
ReplyDeleteIt was never said he was at a game (except by all the conspiracy theorists who twisted it to make it sound that way to fit their narrative). He was simply in Pittsburg with his other daughter. Never at a game...
DeleteExactly...nobody said he was at a game...it was said he was with his other daughter..gee cant iadad go swe his daughter maybe take her to dinner or whatever

ReplyDeleteIf there is nothing to hide on mother’s side why does (or did) BRANDON WILLIAMS NFL PLAYER tweet a go fund me page for Justice for Jayda, WHO are funds going to?? Williams has been a VERY close friend of the McPhersons since he was at MSSU, obviously who his funds account if for SMH!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jalen would consider taking a lie detector test? It might help his situation.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Mcpherson clan would be willing to take one as well? They have nothing to hide...right? Wait...they'll probably just hide behind that big time lawyer. A test would clear up the air.
ReplyDeleteHow about it Judd? Would you and the family be willing to take the test and squash all this controversy?
12:05 PM - And acknowledge guilt?! Please, he's going to hide behind his lawyer and just use our "justice" system to work this one out.
ReplyDeleteJalen is screwed in this one and probably a small piece to this whole mess.
I think we as a community must demand that all parties involved take a lie detector test in order to get to the bottom of this.
