Ashley had mailed him a key

to the safe, unaware her mother had installed
those home security cameras.

alone to get the paperwork for the download. -And while I'm gone

could easily be recovered,

a sinister plot. -There are numerous text
messages between her and Ashley,

that there's something going on that they were indeed trying
to poison Harold Allen.

got that far yet." -For mother and daughter, it seemed Harold's
death couldn't come soon enough.

we all agreed that,

accusation that Marsha Allen poisoned her
husband with a root beer float...

combing through
nearly 7,000 texts exchanged over the three months
before Harold died.

-Yeah, this is going to be
very helpful. -The more they read, the more they learned of a
diabolical plot to kill Harold.
00:20:33
Why would they want him dead? -Greed.
It was all for financial gain. -Police learned
Harold had a $120,000

life insurance policy
through his job. He also had those guns
and several guitars.

a variety of exotic poisons.

Ashley made on eBay for pong pong seeds,
a powerful toxin.

00:21:18
This tree, it's called

a family funeral. -Ashley Jones messages Marsha
and says, "He just needs to go
00:22:47
and drop the hole, too." -After the pong pong
seeds failed to kill Harold, police learned they ordered
another
00:22:56
lethal plant -- water hemlock. Investigators say
on several days in December, they served him tainted chili,
Sprite, and a margarita.

-He surrounded himself
with people he thought loved him and to be poisoned on a nightly
basis, basically, infuriates me.

They poisoned him
and they waited for him to die. -But somehow Harold
survived all those attempts.
00:23:28
Police believe Marsha and Ashley then shifted from plants to a
chemical called ethylene glycol,
00:23:35
which is used in antifreeze. They ordered it online. -If you're consuming
ethylene glycol,

It's described
as maybe a slight sweet taste. -Investigators believe
because of its sweet taste,

of a poisoned root beer float. -If you put it in
a root beer float

"He's all in for root
beer floats." Ashley replied, "Okie dokie. I'll tell the kids
00:24:13
that's what we are doing
tonight for dessert -- smiley face --
root beer floats."

-They probably had
this so well planned out that they knew exactly what he
would eat and what he wouldn't.

-Marsha purchased
the ingredients for this poisonous beverage
at a local store. She texted Ashley this photo
of small soda cans.

Ashley encouraged her
to buy large bottles. Investigators believe Marsha

liver, kidneys, your stomach. You know, you're sick,
nauseated.

wanted to kill him,

00:34:32
exactly what police suspected. Harold had been given
a root beer float poisoned with ethylene glycol
purchased by Ashley.
00:34:41
As those damning text
messages showed. -What Ashley said
in those texts hurt her.
00:34:47
I mean,
there's just no way around it. -Ashley's attorney, public
defender Joseph Robertson,
00:34:54
knew it was going to be
a difficult case. There was a legal freight
train headed toward your client.
00:35:00
I mean,
this was an impossible case. -Yes. By the time
that all this evidence came out,
00:35:05
we just told her, said,
you know, "We're in the tunnel, and the white light
at the other end
00:35:10
is the legal system coming
after you." -But Ashley would
never have to defend her texts
00:35:17
or murderous actions in court. In August 2025,
she took a plea deal, pleading guilty to
attempted murder and conspiracy
00:35:26
to commit murder. ♪♪ -I don't think I can ever say that I saw remorse
on Ashley Jones's face.
00:35:38
-Harold's brother Matthew,
and his wife, Samantha, were in the courtroom
for the sentencing.
00:35:44
-The judge said there's
no other word but evil. There's no forgiveness
from this court.
00:35:52
And I have no choice
but to give you the full time. -Ashley was sentenced
to 50 years in prison.
00:36:01
-It was just the sigh
of relief. We finally felt like
we got a little bit of justice
00:36:07
that my brother deserved. -In the end, these two women who
would chuckle over their plans
00:36:14
with one another, they
didn't get away with this. One took her own life
when confronted with her deeds,
00:36:22
and the other one is
gone for decades. -Absolutely. I truly think they thought they
were smarter than the system.
00:36:30
-But Ashley's
legal woes may not be over. There is another death
in her past. Her late husband, Ty Jones,
who died when he was just 33.
00:36:40
His autopsy said the cause
of death was heart issues, but two of his family members
00:36:46
suspected foul play
from the beginning. You believe that Ty Jones,
your nephew, was murdered?
00:36:53
-Yes, I do. -William Jones and
Arretta Stivers are Ty's uncle and cousin. What do you believe
happened to him?
00:37:01
-I believe
that he was poisoned. -Ty's body was not tested
for poison in 2019, and he was cremated
at Ashley's request.
00:37:11
But his family says
Ty was perfectly healthy before suddenly dying.
And after his death,
00:37:18
they say Ashley's strange
behavior raised red flags. -During Ty's funeral service,
00:37:24
Ashley Jones did
not shed any tears. The next day, she showed
up at Ty's place of employment
00:37:30
to inquire about his
insurance policy. She expected a check that
very next day. All of it to me said,
there is something going on here
00:37:38
that needs to be investigated. -After William and Arretta heard how Harold died
on the news,
00:37:46
they contacted police,
sharing their suspicions that Ashley murdered Ty, her eye on an inheritance
00:37:53
he had just received
from his great-grandfather. -I do believe that there was
a large enough sum of money
00:38:00
and a property that Ashley likely thought
she would inherit, and that that could
have been a motivator for her.
00:38:08
-And in Ashley and Marsha's
texts about murdering Harold, there was a reference to Ty
after Marsha complained
00:38:15
that deadly pong pong seeds
were failing to kill Harold. Ashley, out of the blue,
00:38:23
said Ty had weighed
much less than Harold, writing. "And previously, Ty was
only 120, lol."
00:38:32
During their 48 Hours
interview, William and Arretta heard about
that text for the first time.
00:38:39
They reference Ashley's
late husband, Ty. -There it is.
There it is right there.
00:38:47
-It's painful to hear. -Yeah, it is. -Because it's one thing
to suspect and to feel like, you know.
00:38:54
But to have
that kind of evidence presented verbally for
the first time is gut-wrenching.
00:39:02
-It means what you have
suspected all along is true. -All the time. All the time.
00:39:09
-Ashley maintains
that Ty died of a heart attack, but Indiana State Police opened
an investigation into his death.
00:39:18
Nicholson says he was struck
by the similarities between Harold and Ty's deaths.
00:39:24
-I believe it's way more
than a coincidence. Personally, I think
that she probably killed him,
00:39:30
but that's my opinion.
There's very few, probably as evil as
Marsha Allen and Ashley Jones.
00:39:38
-They're the same person. I mean, just carbon-copy evil. -Looking back, Harold's family doesn't think
Marsha ever really loved him.
00:39:52
-I think she chose the person
that she could manipulate. -Their memories are all
00:40:01
that remain to fill
the void left by the man they called Peanut, who had a big personality
and an even greater heart.
00:40:11
-I'll see something,
and I'll be like, "Oh, man, that's something Peanut
would love to know about."
00:40:16
And I, like, I go to, like, actually call him, and I'm like,
"Oh, I can't." So it is something that I
would give anything to get back,
00:40:26
honestly. -My goodness,
how much you miss him, huh? -Yeah, yes. It's crazy.
-Every day.
00:40:34
-Every day. ♪♪
