Jennifer Mee first came into the national consciousness when she appeared on the “Today Show,” revealing that she had a condition that caused her to constantly hiccup. On average, she hiccupped more than 50 times per minute. Having gone to many different doctors in search of a diagnosis or cure, she decided that her best bet was to speak on as many talk shows as she could, and hope that someone out there who knew what she should do would be able to get into contact with her. Following her appearances on most of the popular talk shows, she tried a number of the suggestions that were made by callers including eating hot mustard and eating large amounts of sugar.
Now, it appears that she has been arrested and charged with first degree murder after she and two accomplices reportedly lured a man, Shannon Griffin, into a house before robbing and shooting him. Now the blogosphere is filled with claims that she had faked the hiccup incident, and is now looking for other ways to gain attention from the media.
During her television appearances she appeared to be a well-rounded girl that was genuinely concerned about her hiccup condition that constantly negatively affected her life. Since that time, it has been revealed that she was somewhat of a social introvert that spent a great deal of her time on her computer. It is not clear what her motive was in the murder, but early speculation shows that the man who was killed was robbed before he was shot.
All three suspects reportedly admitted their involvement in the murder after Griffin was discovered behind the home after being shot with a .38 caliber revolver. Mee has faced a number of problems since her bout with her hiccup condition ended. In 2007, it was reported that she had run away from home after a missing persons report was filed about her. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to her increased media attention. It will certainly be very telling about her motives behind the murder.
