Our card this week is Terrance "Konomi" Plummer, the Ace of Spades from North Carolina. It was Memorial Day weekend in 2010, and hot as hades in North Carolina, when 22-year-old Terrance “Konomi”…

[dramatic music] On May 31st, 2010, Lieutenant Jeff Locklear was just a young homicide detective with the Fayetteville Police Department on his way to a training program, and that's when his phone rang in the early morning hours.
"Turn around and head south in the opposite direction toward Rue Street in the Bonnie Dune neighborhood of Fayetteville." There had been a murder, and they needed Locklear on the job.
He'd been told that someone had found a body in an abandoned duplex, and it was who local officers knew as Terrence or Konomi Plummer.
And while their identity was known by officers, how they identified themselves as a person was not as clear, so I'll use Plummer in this episode.
Locklear didn't get many details in his first call-out, but honestly, even if he had, it wouldn't have prepared him for what he was walking into.
This was in May, and it was about 95 degrees that day, and there's no power at this place, so it was really hot, really humid, and the place was covered in trash, and it's got a lot of old beer bottles and that kind of stuff, and the place was just filthy.
You go into that room, and one of the things that you learn real early as a homicide cop is death has a smell, and, um, that was readily evident.
In only 24 hours, because of the heat, um, that smell was permea- had permeated the whole room.
The other things you, you smell is blood, and, uh, there was a lot of it in this case.
And, um, the, the best way I can describe that to you is to put a penny in your mouth.
When you go into a really bloody crime scene, that's kinda what you're dealing with.
As Lieutenant Locklear stepped into the stifling room, his eyes fell to the victim's body, laying face down, wig displaced, and bra still on, but naked from the waist down, and positioned a few feet from a mattress that was on the bedroom floor.
As we walked over a little closer to his, uh, the victim's body, the amount of injury, even before we moved the victim, was evident.
I don't wanna move anything around, but I'm over, you know, trying to really take a look at what I have.
Part of what he had right from the top was what he suspected could have been the murder weapon, a bloody knife laying next to the body.
Trying to paint you a picture, and this is common what we see and what w- we describe as a trap house or a flop house.
