<p class="mol-para-with-font">Her body was discovered in the Dekalb County park on Friday, bringing the desperate eight-day search to a tragic end.<br />
Police Chief Erika Shields said investigators have not determined the official motive but noted that Crawford had filed a police report on October 27 describing &#8216;unwanted kissing and touching&#8217; by Brantley.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Days before she went missing, Crawford told authorities that Brantley had rubbed her shoulder and kissed her on the neck while they were drinking together, according to a police report.<br />
</span>Crawford said that Brantley claimed he mistook her for his girlfriend, Jones.<br />
She said she entered a restroom by herself after Brantley followed her to her room.<br />
Jones told detectives that she found Crawford locked inside the bathroom wearing only a bra, the police report states. Investigators also recovered a &#8216;pair of cut panties&#8217; in the bathroom.<br />
Jones said that Crawford told her she had passed out and did not remember what had happened.<br />
<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Brantley said he did not have sex with Crawford, according to Jones.<br />
</span>Crawford underwent a rape examination at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. The results of that examination were not specified in the police report.<br />
After Crawford was reported missing, Jones told detectives that she was not &#8216;on speaking terms&#8217; with her roommate because of a &#8216;separate incident&#8217; that was not disclosed in the missing person report.<br />
The report also mentioned a &#8216;separate incident&#8217; on October 26, citing friends who said Crawford had started sleeping in the living room because she wasn&#8217;t comfortable in her own bedroom.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Rev Markel Hutchins told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the Crawford family &#8216;knew Jordyn, they liked Jordyn&#8217;.<br />
&#8216;There was never a reason to suspect that Jordyn would do anything wrong or ill to Alexis,&#8217; Hutchins said.<br />
&#8216;One family member described them as two peas in a pod… To go from that to where we are today, it&#8217;s unthinkable, unspeakable.&#8217;<br />
Police said one of the suspects led them to Crawford&#8217;s body. Brantley was charged hours later on Friday and Jones was charged Saturday.<br />
