On January 29, 2026, at approximately 4:36 A.M., police observed a vehicle with its lights on next to the warming house at Lauderdale Community Park in Ramsey County, Minnesota. The officer noticed that the driver’s seatback was pushed all the way forward, and there were no passengers in the front seat. As the officer approached on foot, the driver’s side passenger door opened and a male, JORDAN ALLEN MURRAY – [DOB REDACTED], exited the vehicle with his pants down by his knees. MURRAY began securing his pants with a belt, and the officer informed him that the park was closed and he could not be there.
The officer then heard a female’s voice coming from the backseat. The female was not forthcoming with her name and identifying information. MURRY was released at the scene with a warning about not being in the park after hours. The officer drove the female home and spoke with her father, TS. TS provided the officer with her name and identifying information, and V1 was determined to be 14 years old. V1’s parents were provided with information about the process and encouraged to have V1 interviewed at MCRC. On February 9, V1’s mother, SS, informed the investigator that V1 admitted that a 20 year old male picked her up at home and drove them to the park where they had sex.
V1 reported they met on SnapChat. SS told police that that V1 was willing to be interviewed at MCRC. At MCRC, V1 told the nurse that she met MURRAY on SnapChat. V1 said she knew MURRAY was 20 years old and he knew she was 14 years old, although he did not know her real name. V1 reported that she met MURRAY twice. The first time, V1 said they drove around and nothing sexual happened. V1 reported that they planned to be more sexual when they got together the second time. V1 said MURRAY picked her up and they drove around then stopped at the dog park to talk for a bit.
V1 reported that she sat on his lap with her clothing on, and they kissed for a while. V1 said they left the park to go to a gas station for MURRAY to get a condom then they went back to the park. V1 reported that they planned to have sex in the backseat, so MURRAY cleaned it out. V1 said they got in the backseat and kissed for a while then she got fully undressed and MURRAY pulled his pants down. V1 reported that MURRAY put the condom on then she sat on his lap facing him and they had sexual intercourse where his penis went into her vagina.
V1 said the officer approached the vehicle while they were having sex, so they got dressed really fast. V1 told the nurse that she spoke to MURRAY once after the incident. V1 said they discussed how they got caught and that they needed to block each other so they couldn’t see their messages. The investigator located a phone number for MURRAY, which was answered by a generic voicemail. The investigator left a voice message for MURRAY asking for a return phone call but did not get a call back. On March 12, the investigator checked MURRAY’s listed address.
