The police in Richmond, Kentucky, charged Glenn Jackson with the murder of his missing wife, Ella Diebolt Jackson, after they found “a significant amount” of Mrs. Jackson’s blood in the trunk of Mr. Jackson’s automobile.

Mr. Jackson, of course, says he’s as innocent as a newborn baby. And that Mrs. Jackson is just a “Gone Girl” who spilled her own blood in his automobile.

Let Mr. Jackson tell it, all of those recordings that Mrs. Jackson secretly made of him cussing and fussing at her, along with her secret texts with her ex, is evidence that she set him up in order to escape her boring middle class life.

But the police are like, “Mrs. Jackson has been gone for far too long, away from her dog, car, son, and home for this to look like a ‘Gone Girl’ case.”

The last time anyone saw Mrs. Jackson was back on October 20, 2019. Mr. Jackson, who reported her missing two days later, told the police that he didn’t pay any never mind to his wife being gone because she had he and their then five-year-old son to leave the house for a while.

According to Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson used the time they were away from the house to prepare for her departure. Where she went? He doesn’t know. Why she went? He doesn’t know. Is she ever coming back? He doesn’t know that either.

However, Mrs. Jackson’s oldest child, Phillip Hans, says he knows what happened and who it is that made the what happened.

Phillip Hans told the Lex18 folks that he talked to his mother every day and that whole business about her just getting up and leaving is a bunch of bull and the only place where she stayed for a while was the grocery store. “Everything of hers is at the house, she wouldn’t leave her kid behind, her car is there, her phone is there. All her stuff is there,” is what Phillip Hans told the Lex18 folks.

Like Phillip Hans, the police weren’t buying what Glenn Jackson was selling. They looked at him, a 39-year-old man with a 48-year-old wife and a 5-year-old son, and more likely than not thought to themselves that he is the one who’s trying to let go of his “boring middle class life.”

Here, Mr. Jackson is just an instructor, teaching Honors English at Eastern Kentucky University. And there his wife’s ex, Jason Hans, is a professor at the University of Kentucky. Everybody knows an instructor is just one step above a teaching assistant (TA). They don’t get the respect that professors, like Jason Hans, do.

How does Mr. Jackson suppose to compete with that? There, Professor Hans is living the good life of a professor, while Instructor Jackson was living the middle class life of an instructor with the professor’s ex-wife and his, Instructor Jackson, five-year-old son; who’s now in the custody of Professor Hans.

It’s no doubt that all of that fussing, cussing, and fighting happened because Instructor Jackson’s ego was bruised due to Mrs. Jackson continued communications with her ex, Professor Hans.

The police looked at all that was going on between Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and decided, early on, they’d better treat him like the suspect he is.

On April 24, 2020, the police took all of the evidence they gathered and charged Mr. Jackson with everything from tampering with evidence, domestic violence, to murder.
