A 23-year-old man who had been at the apartment she and her family were visiting was being questioned Monday night, a Carrollton police spokesman said. No arrests had been made, he said.
According to the affidavits, the man, described by police as a friend of the relatives whom Jasmen and her family were visiting, was among the adults in the apartment when Jasmen was last seen about 11:15 p.m. Saturday. About 15 minutes later, relatives realized that the girl was not in the bedroom where she had been sleeping.
"Once the occupants of the apartment realized that Jasmen was missing, they realized that [the man] was also missing for an approximate 15-minute period," the affidavit stated.
The bedroom has a door to the exterior of the apartment. Police initially considered that the girl might be a sleepwalker. Officers found Jasmen's glasses outside the apartment and soon began to suspect that she had been abducted, the affidavit stated.
Her body was found facedown shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1100 block of Clint Street, less than a mile away.
While speaking with investigators, police said, the man gave several "basic statements of deception, including lying about his date of birth and having tattoos."
The affidavit stated that two dogs trained to detect the odor of decaying human tissue alerted on the man's Lincoln Navigator while it was parked at the Carrollton police station.
In a search of the SUV, investigators seized items including a black-handled knife and samples of what appeared to be human blood. Police also seized clothing that the man had been wearing, affidavits show.
Police searched two other vehicles, including a red Chevy van owned by Jasmen's parents. Inside, officers found red fibers consistent with a red blanket. Relatives had told police that Jasmen had gone to sleep that night with a red blanket. The blanket is among items that police are searching for, according to the affidavits.
"Investigators observed that there were numerous discrepancies between the time lines and events of the evening as described by the occupants of the apartment," one affidavit stated.
