Eerie details emerge in case of murdered mom Jennifer Brown as suspect 'drove son, 8, in car after transporting remains'

LOCAL law enforcement has revealed more chilling information surrounding the death of a previously missing mother.

Jennifer Brown, 43, was reported missing on January 4 in Limerick, Pennsylvania, by her "supposed friend" and business partner, Blair Anthony Watts, 33.

She had failed to pick up her son Noah, 8, from the bus stop after school.

On January 18, Brown's body was tragically partially buried in Royersford, Pennsylvania, outside of an industrial complex.

Since then, police have conducted a full investigation that led to the arrest of Watts for the alleged killing of Brown.

After searching Brown's home, officers said that there were "no obvious signs of a struggle," according to a press release from the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.

However, a K-9 Unit cadaver dog trained to detect human remains was brought in soon after and “indicated in the kitchen area of Brown’s residence as well as by a trash dumpster outside of Brown’s townhouse.”

The dog managed to find "several black-and-white, marble-patterned plastic pieces embedded within the high-pile carpet.”

These were later matched with pieces of a hair clip found in Brown's shallow grave.

Police also noted in the press release that the dog indicated Brown's remains had been in two cars allegedly driven by Watts.

Watts, who has insisted he is innocent, previously told authorities that he had Noah spend the night at his house the night before Brown failed to pick him up from the bus stop to "give her a break."

This reportedly made authorities suspicious due to the lack of preparation he had for Noah's stay.

According to friends and family that spoke with law enforcement, Brown was an "attentive and loving mother," making it strange that she didn't provide Watts with her son's "necessary daily medications" or even a spare change of clothes for the sleepover.

CRUCIAL SIGHT

As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Noah also played a massive role in identifying what happened to his mother.

Watts had allegedly told Noah that his mother was at the grocery store and that he would be sleeping over at his house that evening, per the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office press release.

After Watts picked him up, the pair stopped at Brown's house, according to the young boy.

Watts then went inside while Noah waited in the vehicle.

After coming back from the house, Noah made a keen observation about Watts.

The child allegedly told police he noticed “Mr. Blair” had his mother’s cell phone in his hand.

Noah supposedly recognized that it was his mother's phone because the lock screen was his school photo.

During the period that Brown was missing, the personal phone was one item that still hadn't been located.

On January 4, Brown and Watt’s cell phone allegedly traveled together until about 7.00 am, when Brown’s phone then went dark.

The phone quickly became the key piece of evidence for investigators.

BUSINESS PLANS

Watts and Brown reportedly had plans to start their own restaurant together called Birdie’s Kitchen, although the plans fell through.

In December, property owners at their planned location for the restaurant pulled out of the deal, per Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele.

Additionally, two money transfers were made from Brown’s bank account into Watt’s account for $17,000.

“Detectives found that on the afternoon of Jan. 3, 2023, the day before Brown was reported missing, two cash transfers were made to accounts controlled by Watts,” prosecutors noted.

They also claimed there was no mention of that kind of transfer in their business agreement.

The prosecutors said: “CashApp records show a transfer of $9,000 went through to ‘$Birdieskitchen’ at 4:23 p.m. A second transfer of $8,000 via Zelle was completed at 4:35 p.m. to ‘Birdies.’ This total of $17,000 was never part of a written agreement between Brown and Watts.”

Watts then picked up Noah for the sleepover that same day, according to investigators.

The 33-year-old was taken into custody on February 9 and has been charged with first-degree murder and third-degree murder, along with two counts of theft by unlawful taking and unauthorized accessing of a device issued to another, per Law and Crime.

Watts is currently being held without bail, and a preliminary hearing still has yet to be announced.

Brown's death was ruled a homicide by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office, which noted that she had three broken ribs.

Steele said she likely died by asphyxiation.

In a statement to Law and Crime, Watts’ attorney Christopher D. Mandracchia said: “Blair Watts is innocent until proven guilty.

"He is not a killer, and intends on fighting and proving his innocence.

"It is a shame that the District Attorney’s Office states allegations as facts in an attempt to taint the potential jury pool.”

Watts is previously reported to have told NBC Philadelphia: “It seems like I’m being the one poked at.

“And it’s frustrating because I’m the first person that was the one calling the police, trying to kick down windows.

"Trying to find my friend. Trying to make sure her son is covered.”
