Tuesday morning, Jackson's car was found in St. Louis, and taken to the county crime lab. But it wasn't until a search warrant was issued when her remains were found in the trunk of her car. An autopsy determined, Jackson was shot in the head.

"That's scary to think about, that somebody right down the street, that I barely knew, died," said a neighbor in Moore.

"She was really nice, and waved to me," said neighbor Jadeah Lewis.   

Neighbors say Jackson lived with her baby's father in Moore. We're told she left him a note before leaving for St. Louis, saying she needed space.

"I've never heard any kind of noise, or disturbance out there at all," said neighbor, Gary Lunow.

An emotional close friend of Jackson, has a message for the killer.

"You will be experiencing the headache that a mothers is now experiencing from her only child, and a son who now doesn't have his mother," said a family friend.

"And now it's time to move heaven and earth to find out who the culprit is," said Chief Perry Hopkins, Brekenridge Hills PD.

St. Louis area police are following up on a number of leads in connection to Jackson's murder. The 3-month old baby, Donavon Prom will remain in Missouri state custody, at least until a paternity test is completed.

Paternity test results won't be available until tomorrow, at the earliest, and even after the results are released, we're told a judge will make the final decision on where to place the child.
