Detectives walked her through the Bumble history slowly. Todd had provided a phone number in response to the request to exchange contact information. Investigators asked whether the number looked familiar and whether she remembered the photographs or profile. Terreona repeatedly answered that she did not remember.
For police, the point of the interview was no longer simply to learn whether she had ever heard Todd's name. The dating-app messages, searches, location records, and silent emergency call were already linking their lives. Investigators wanted an account of the night and, just as importantly, a motive that could explain why a meeting inside Todd's home had ended with him dead. Terreona did not give them one.
Detectives told her that background interviews with her relatives portrayed her as a loving mother and not someone they expected to see in a murder investigation. It was a familiar interrogation strategy: offer the suspect a path to explain that something had gone wrong rather than presenting the act as coldly planned. They told her they wanted her side before booking her into jail. Terreona's answer remained that she did not know Todd Morgan.
When an investigator directly told her, "You know Todd Morgan," she continued to deny recognizing him. When the accusation became explicit and an officer told her they believed she had shot him, she said no. The denials did not change as the interview moved from one category of evidence to the next. Instead, each new question created another version of "I don't remember" or "I don't know."
Investigators next focused on the vehicle. Terreona acknowledged that the car shown to her belonged to her or was associated with her. Police said a vehicle matching it had been seen at Todd's property on the morning of April 19 and that neighbors had noticed damage on the right side. Terreona insisted she had not been there and appeared surprised that witnesses could describe the car.
The phone data contradicted that denial. Detectives said the device connected to her had been at the address after midnight and remained there into the morning. They also had the neighbors' observation of the car sitting outside as early as 5:00 a.m. and leaving around 7:23. Terreona said she did not understand how that could be possible.
The financial records added another layer. Todd's transaction history showed a $50 Cash App payment to an account associated with Terreona during the early morning hours. When detectives asked why a man she claimed not to know would send her money, she said people sometimes sent her money even if she had never met them. She explained that she was a single mother and sometimes asked men for money for food, gas, washing, or other needs.
A $50 transfer, by itself, could fit many explanations. Terreona told detectives random payments were not unusual for her and suggested Todd might simply have sent money because she asked. She also mentioned the possibility of money connected to chocolate or edible products, though her explanation was uncertain. Investigators did not stop at the smaller payment.
Roughly twenty-three minutes later, Todd attempted to send $1,000 to a Cash App account identified in the interview as "Black Beauty," which detectives said belonged to Terreona. The larger payment did not fully complete because a security verification remained unresolved. When detectives asked whether strangers also randomly sent her $1,000, she acknowledged that was not normal, although she added that it could happen.
The timing drew intense scrutiny. Investigators placed the attempted $1,000 transfer at approximately 7:25 a.m., almost the exact time Eugene and Sherry saw the long-haired person leaving Todd's house. The silent 911 call had come only minutes earlier. Todd's phone then traveled away along the same route as Terreona's phone before disappearing from the network.
Detectives pressed the contradiction: Terreona said she did not know Todd, but Todd had apparently obtained the Cash App identifier needed to send her money. If they had never communicated, how had he known where to send it? Terreona responded that he probably got the information from her, even as she continued insisting she did not remember knowing him.
That answer was one of the clearest fractures in the interview. Saying Todd probably obtained the account name from her implicitly acknowledged some contact, while her broader position remained that she did not recognize him. Investigators continued to ask what the $50 was for, why the $1,000 was attempted, and why her phone and car were at his home. She provided no coherent explanation connecting all of those facts.
Forensic evidence from Todd's bedroom tightened the link further. Investigators recovered a condom and, according to the source, forensic testing matched Terreona's DNA to samples from both inside and outside it. That finding supported the conclusion that she had been physically present in the bedroom despite repeatedly telling detectives she could not remember ever meeting Todd. It also gave context to the condoms and disorder officers had noticed when they first cleared the house.
The physical and digital evidence began to form a more complete picture of the relationship. Todd had encountered Terreona through a dating app. Investigators developed information that she sometimes expected payment from men she met or communicated with through such platforms. Todd appeared to be one of several men in that broader pattern, although the exact nature of the arrangement between them on April 18 and 19 remained something detectives wanted Terreona herself to explain.
The source presents the encounter as an arrangement that appeared to function until something changed during the early morning. What triggered that change was never clearly described by Terreona in the interview. Investigators could establish that she was there, that money changed hands or was attempted, that the shooting occurred, and that the devices then moved away from Hudson together. The unanswered question was what happened in the minutes immediately before the gunfire.
