The reason for the murder of Jennifer Teague, 18, was revealed by her murderer Kevin Davis, 24, in a statement provided by him in a court appearance. Her teary-eyed family and friends had trouble in the courtroom listening to the statement being made. Davis had revealed that he’d been searching for a young woman to rape and murder for a week before he had found Teague. He said he wanted a younger victim because she would be easier to control. Finding Jennifer Teague in the early morning hours after she was coming home from an evening shift was a completely random opportunity. Once he had Teague in his possession, he was unable to go through with the original plan which included raping her. Instead, he strangled her in his home, where his mother was sleeping in the next room, and disposed of her body near a trail on Moodie Drive, in the suburb of Barrhaven. It was described in the statement that Davis’ hatred towards women played an important role in the reason behind the murder. There were also many other underlying reasons for the murder and abduction of Teague, such as his general anger towards the world, which was influenced by being fired from his job at Home Depot and the death of his pet cat.
