Kristina Mahalia Asche Jones, 36, was found unresponsive in the bathroom of a residence on County Road 700 West in Holton, Indiana, just after midnight on January 10, 2021. She had suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and her death was ruled a homicide. Jones is described as a healthcare worker and mother.

Investigators developed a domestic violence angle. Jordan Knudson, 36, was identified as the person Jones had been in a tumultuous two-year relationship with; reports say she had been physically abused by him on multiple occasions and had been knocked unconscious more than once. In December 2020 Jones had filed for a protective order against Knudson.

An arrest warrant for murder was issued for Knudson on March 26, 2021, and he was taken into custody that day. The trial record notes testimony about the abusive relationship and the circumstances surrounding Jones’s death. Did anyone in Holton or Ripley County have contact with Kristina in the weeks before January 10, 2021?
