Woman sentenced to life in prison plus 50 years for murder and kidnapping

A woman has been sentenced to life in prison plus 50 years for the brutal kidnapping and murder of another woman, whose body was found in a burning house in Baltimore in 2018.

In a chilling case that has gripped the city of Baltimore, Bobie Barncord, 33, was handed down a severe sentence for her role in the horrific crime. The victim, Tiffany Jones, was abducted and later found dead in a burning house in south Baltimore. The case has been a focal point of local news since the crime occurred in 2018.

CBS Baltimore reported that Barncord was convicted in April of First Degree Murder, Kidnapping, Conspiracy to Kidnap, and Arson. The details of the case are as gruesome as they are tragic, with the victim being kidnapped at knifepoint before her untimely death.

Unraveling the Details of the Crime

According to the court records, on August 21, 2018, Baltimore Police officers learned that Jones was kidnapped at knifepoint by a man known as "Philly," later identified as Barncord's co-defendant, Willard Turner. Turner was sentenced to life plus 80 years in 2020. The driver of the getaway vehicle was identified as "Bobie." Officers traced the vehicle's tag number and discovered the owner to be Barncord's father.

The following day, officers responded to a fire report, where firefighters found the naked and bound body of Tiffany Jones. Before interviewing Barncord, police obtained a search warrant for the getaway car. During the search, they found the victim's shoes, a large knife consistent with the one used in the kidnapping, and Barncord's DNA on the knife handle.

Barncord admitted to participating in the kidnapping and false imprisonment of Jones, pouring lighter fluid on her, and watching as an unidentified person lit Jones on fire. The chilling confession paints a gruesome picture of the events leading up to Jones' death.
