Jill Shelby was a 15-year-old girl who was brutally beaten to death by her obsessive and controlling boyfriend, then 17-year-old Todd Whitley, in a violent rage over his anger after seeing her make out with his younger brother, then 15-year-old Eric Whitley. He was also furious over Jill back-talking to him and her standing up for Eric. The incident started over Jill discovering that Todd was cheating on her with her best friend, then-15-year-old Melanie.
On the anniversary of her death in 2003, Jill's mother Evelyn Shelby had the detectives to re-investigate the murder though she had doubts that she may lose hope if they fail to solve it. In the epilogue, Jill's spirit was seen by Detective Lilly Rush after she and her team finally arrested Todd.
