and used her for sex.
    Two days later, on May 28, police in Yreka responded to a report of a burglary at
     the home of Sonny and Caroline Allen - Jodi’s grandparents and where she was living
     at the time.
    Police later came to believe that it was an inside job, carried out by Jodi to secure
     a handgun for the killing as she made it look like some random burglary. No one has
     ever been arrested in the theft, and Jodi to this day denies having had anything to
     do with it.
    The same caliber gun was used to shoot Travis in the head. The weapon has never been
     found.

Bubble Baths, Porn and Phone Sex
    “Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theater” —Alanis Morissette
    One month before Travis’ body was found, he and Jodi had a late-night phone call
     that provides one of the most revealing glimpses into their relationship, while also
     portraying the duality of Travis. He was clearly a man conflicted and torn internally,
     overcome with his sexual urges for Jodi while at the same time trying to be a good
     Mormon.
    Jodi was in a bedroom in her grandparents’ house in Yreka, Calif., and Travis was
     home in Mesa. Jodi made sure to record the conversation, she says, at Travis’ urging.
     The entire call was played in open court during her trial, eliciting several cringes
     from the gallery and Jodi herself during the raunchy, hour-plus chat. Jurors squirmed
     uncomfortably in their chairs.
    The call contained no outward signs of tension or strife in their relationship. In
     fact, just the opposite. Travis was telling friends at the time that he had grown
     frustrated with his “stalker ex-girlfriend,” but he gave no sign of any issues he
     had with Jodi on this particular night, on this particular raunchy call.
    Jodi later portrayed herself as a victim of Travis’ unwanted and deviant sexual advances,
     but on the phone call seemed absolutely into every kinky pornographic fantasy that
     Travis wanted to play out with her. Both appeared to have their own perversions.
    The conversation is also insightful because it is a rare case where the world got
     to hear Travis’ own words after his death - not just the many one-sided accounts from
     Jodi that were broadcast over the last five years in TV interviews, news accounts
     and during her trial.
    While there is little doubt that Travis was serious about the Mormon religion and
     an inspiration to people at his church and job, the call makes it clear that he had
     a weakness for sex that ran counter to his religious beliefs.
    The call was basically a summation of their sex life as they reflected on everything
     they did together. It included their recollections of passionate grinding in a hotel
     room in Ehrenburg, Ariz. It went on to include: Jodi introducing lubricant to Travis
     to ease the pain of their anal sex encounters; his “superhuman” stamina during intercourse;
     lovemaking during a candle-lit bubble bath; kinky acts such as him giving her oral
     sex with a tootsie roll in his mouth; and makeup sex that veered into the angry side
     but was incredibly satisfying no less.
    There were also some subtle hints of jealousy and obsessiveness on both of their
     parts during the call - and plenty of irony. At one point, Jodi talked about how she
     was blossoming sexually as she approached her 30s, but how she was still a little
     shy.
    “I’m all for the wild streak, but I don’t broadcast it to the whole world,” Jodi
     says on the call that ultimately was heard by thousands of people around the globe.
    It also seemed like Jodi was fishing at various points in the conversation. She asked
     about Cancun, his other planned trips, and how they hoped to spend some time together
     visiting Crater Lake and a Shakespeare festival in the near future. Travis complimented
     her on what an “A-plus ass” she has.
    “You’re an A-plus,” Jodi promptly replied, seemingly hoping to elicit
