A panel of experts and insiders from Oxygen’s upcoming docu-series including Vice President of Development and Original Programming for Wilshire Studios, Jessica Grimshaw; Legal Analyst, Beth Karas; along with other key individuals close to the story who will discuss the case, infamous mistrial, and what inspired them to delve deeper into what really happened to Jessica Chambers.

This active crime investigation docu-series produced by Wilshire Studios and BuzzFeed Motion Pictures takes a deep dive into the mysterious death of Jessica Chambers, the Mississippi teen who was doused with gasoline and set on fire in December of 2014. Executive Produced by Academy Award® nominated, two-time Emmy® and Peabody Award winner Joe Berlinger (“Brother’s Keeper,” the “Paradise Lost Trilogy” and "Intent to Destroy"), the series looks at the mystery and unanswered questions surrounding Chambers’ death, which has made it one of the most-talked about cases on the internet. In 2016, a grand jury indicted Quinton Tellis, 27, charging him with capital murder. Tellis has pled not guilty to the charge.
