During the investigation, officials were approached by an unnamed family friend of Farmer's who told them that there was way more to the story.  The concerns voiced were valid enough to warrant a follow-up examination in to the circumstances of Farmer's death.  According to Law & Crime, that investigation has produced some shocking new details.

The Witness Was Afraid of Telling Texas Police What Happened to Gloria Farmer

The unnamed roommate told investigators that she didn't come forward with what she knew about the death because she was afraid Jordan would retaliate.  She told police that while Farmer sat in an office chair, Jordan placed her hand on Farmer's forehead and pushed.  That caused Farmer and the chair to fall over backwards.

The 170-pound-Jordan allegedly sat on Farmer until she stopped breathing.  The official autopsy results list "mechanical asphyxia" as the cause of death, that meant that this was now a homicide investigation.
