Divorce is rarely easy, and for 40-year-old Meloney Lee Jackson, it looks like she thought murder would be easier.
It also appears that she had been planning to kill her husband, Kevin Mark Jackson, for at least a week.
According to a local gun dealer, Meloney Jackson walked into his store on the 28th of February, 2008, and tried really, really hard to buy a gun right then and there. Meloney Jackson claimed to the dealer that her husband had threatened to kill her, and that they were going to court to get a divorce next Tuesday and so she needed a gun.
Right now.
Her pleading didn’t work on someone who knew that he could lose his business license if he mishandled a firearm purchase, and after Meloney Jackson left the store the store owner went to the sheriff’s office and reported the incident.
But there are a lot of guns in the world.
There was, in fact, a gun that belonged to Meloney Jackson’s next-door neighbor, who was more than happy to lend her the weapon.
I don’t know about you, but if someone who is in the process of getting a divorce, or who is involved in any kind of emotional situation asked me to borrow my gun, I would have no problem giving them a hug, or listening to their problems for a while, or pointing them to the nearest psychiatrist. Borrowing a gun, however, is out of the question - so sorry, try the Jones across the street.
As you might have expected, with the gun in her possession, Meloney Jackson used it - at a little past five in the morning on the 3rd of March, 2008 - discharging the weapon in the direction of her husband, Kevin Jackson, five times.
Kevin Jackson made it out to their front lawn, where he died.
The crime scene didn’t make a lot of sense to police, who received a 911 call about the shooting at 5:12 in the morning.
Kevin Jackson was on the front lawn, dead from gunshot wounds delivered by a gun that was found next to his body.
Meloney Jackson reported to police that her husband had been threatening her for some time, and that on that morning, before he left for work, while his coffee and lunch were on the kitchen counter, Kevin Jackson had handcuffed her, gagged her and sexually assaulted her - all with the intention of killing her before their divorce proceedings that afternoon.
According to Meloney Jackson, miraculously her husband decided against killing her and had instead gone outside to the front lawn and shot himself to death.
Five times.
For those of you who aren’t regular gunshot victims, you should know that it’s very hard to keep shooting yourself after that first shot goes off. Bullets entering your body hurt. A lot. People who shoot themselves tend to drop the gun and die.
The police agreed with People You’ll See In Hell, arresting Meloney Jackson and booking her on suspicion of murder.
A recording of the 911 call that Meloney Jackson’s 13-year-old daughter, who was in the house at the time, made right after the shooting was released by authorities:
Operator: 911. What is your emergency?
Caller: My dad. I don’t know what’s wrong. I just woke up. .I heard gunshots. Now he doesn’t … My mom is crying. I don’t know what’s wrong.
Operator: OK, Ma’am. What’s your name?
Caller: Autumn.
Operator: Autumn, how old are you?
Caller: I’m 13.
Operator: OK, you said both your parents are in the front yard?
Caller: I don’t know what happened. My mom was talking to me last night about how she was scared. We’ve been hearing people. It’s usually quiet. But there’s been a bunch of stuff going through.
Operator: You said you did hear a gunshot?
Caller: Yes, I heard several.
Caller: My mom’s screaming for him.
Operator: What’s she doing?
Caller: Crying.
Operator: Autumn, what did you say again, sweetie?
Caller: My mom is still screaming. I don’t want my dad to be dead.
Police were impressed with Meloney Lee Jackson’s dedication for deception and especially with her ability to handcuff and gag herself.
Very impressive.

Hmm….. Seems to me that your statements,
“what she did was terrible, but she is mentally sick.
The real meloney jackson isn’t like this.”, state that she was mental. But not really? Sorry. No. She may be mentally sick, but it’s still her.

I almost could believe the suicide angle - if I woke up to that I’d use a gun on myself!
She’s so ugly that I’d come back and shoot myself just to be sure that there was nothing left of myself so that I could not be sent back!
Maybe he shot himself 5 times because he was sent to hell and he thought that he was still married to her! With my first wife, death was becoming a nice departure method for myself as well. I actually envied Al Bundy (Married with Children)
From the looks of her, she could have suffocated him with her fat ass by sitting on his face and told authorites that the sex had gotten rough!
At any rate, females can lie to and females can be violent!
Lock her up for a long time - give her husband a break if he’s in hell!

hahahah Dayum Fred!! I think that is called Coyote Ugly in these here parts of the country. She’s so ugly you would chew your own arm off just to keep from waking her up. hahahah. Like coyotes do to get out of traps. LMAO!!

She looks quite like Rosanne Barr and it looks like she may have all the oersonality of Rosie O’Donnel.
The bleach blonde hair do with the long brown roots are such a turn on - NOT!
She looks like she could gove both me & a friend a lap dance at the same time! Each of us would get our own butt cheek!
Probably the only redeeming feature about her as a wife is the fact that he never had to cut the lawn - she grazed it to a nice height! (Mooo)
It there an electric chair big enough for her?
Why don’t we send her down to a tribe of cannibals? Cheap execution while helping solve world hunger!

excuse me, i am italian and i’ve been reading this site for a while now, i’ve always been able to figure out the terms you use by myself…like POS etc etc…
but i don’t understand what gag means…???
by the way
she is so stupid she’s not even worth being on this site…i just feel sorry for her daughter…

@yonah: In case other language problems arise, you might find

helpful. The best translation for ‘gag’ I found there is ‘bavaglia’.
As for said woman being worth a mention on this site, I beg to disagree. Since the Mary Winkler trial, which did a lot to bring my formerly high opinion of the American justice system down, I know for a fact that victim bashing goes a long way, when done by female killer spouses. In this instance, the female spouse from hell has already shown that she’s a worthy disciple of MW — last thing I’ve read about her on another board is that she now claims her victim used to masturbate, while sniffing at their daughter’s underwear.
Thanks to the owners of this site for giving me an opporunity to vote on what I think of her and her lies.

Ack- that trash troll is one big piece of shit.
Mind-boggling some of the stupid things POS murderers come up with to try to get out of a sure jail term.
But…. the dead victim used to masturbate while sniffing their daughter’s underwear? That one takes the cake. How exactly did she know this? Not a pretty visual. (Flashbacks of Blue Velvet?)
It’d be interesting to find out where the gag and handcuffs came from, y’know? I wouldn’t blame someone for wanting to gag that nasty-looking face, though. How’d she get the paper bag off her head, is what I want to know.

Exactly, if your husband is sniffing your 13 year old’s underwear then why didn’t you say anything until now when he can’t speak for himself… I have a funny feeling that the daughter is going to end up coming out and saying that her mom is a nut case… I would NOT be surprised if the father was gonna fight for full custody either which could have led to a motive… no child= no money and Lord knows this woman looks jobless (unless shes working the track). Women like this make me sick because they give a bad name to all of us, not only that, she makes us look dumb because I know I would never come up with a lie as STUPID as hers… I hope her daughter is able to move on and have a good life after this…

Jan reply on August 2, 2008:
I actually went to an estate sell at Meloney Jackson’s house today. Her 13 yr old daughter was there with her maternal grandparents. The daughter seems to be doing fine (as she can be…without either parent). I did want to reply to you and tell you YES, hubby that was killed did want custody of his daughter. It is my understanding that the only reason he moved back into the house after filing for divorce in ‘07, was to protect his 13 yr old daughter—that HRS had given back to the wife. I don’t know what the daughter will say when she goes to court—-especially if she is living with the maternal grandparents, but I also heard that Meloney’s mother had tried to get her daughter help before the killing took place.

hellbound for sure, the finishing line from the call really put the last nail on the coffin for me
“Caller: My mom is still screaming. I don’t want my dad to be dead.”
that’s just sad :(

You guys are not helping. Guess what, I’m friends with her daughter. Yea, I KNOW her. And she’s pissed that people won’t shut their freakin’ mouths about her mom! Don’t you think she’s heard about it enough! She was THERE! You guys don’t need to report what happened 50 million times. Guess what, it’s none of your business what’s going on in her family’s life. It’s her business, and she knows better than anyone else. If you guys are gonna sit around and be a bunch of assholes about the whole situations, perhaps YOU deserve hell. Sick people.

I don’t give a fuck about her or her family. I only care about what her dumb ass mom did - she killed a man and for that she will rot in HELL. If I am sick, it’s none of your fucking business. I hope you understand that. Now, enjoy your time here in PYSIH. Have a good day. :)
