This is the case of Jaylin Brazier, accused of murdering his step-cousin, Zion Foster, whose body has never been found. The incident dates back to January 4, 2022, when Zion, who had just turned 17, went missing after spending time with Jaylin at his home in West Detroit. According to Zion’s mother, Jaylin initially denied spending time with Zion but later claimed they were together and that he found her unresponsive, leading him to panic and dispose of her body. Prosecutors believe Jaylin's digital evidence and actions point to his guilt. However, the defense argues that Zion might have had a pre-existing condition or was under the influence of laced marijuana, suggesting Jaylin was scared and made poor decisions rather than being a murderer. They contend that without Zion’s body, they can't fully prove their theories. The case is further complicated by allegations that Jaylin used a smuggled phone to research legal questions about evidence and charges. He searched, "can you with charged with murder without a body?'
