Florida Deputies Arrest 5 for Aiding Murder Suspect Isabelle Johnson as $16,000 Manhunt Intensifies

Q: What secrets are buried with the man found zip-tied and encased in concrete under a Cadillac?

The main “secrets” still buried in Jason Christopher Coulthart’s killing are the motive, the nature of his relationship with fugitive suspect Isabelle Rose Johnson, and how a body ended up zip-tied, encased in concrete, and hidden beneath a black Cadillac on a Freeport property. What is publicly known is stark. Coulthart, 43, was reported missing on May 24 after he was last seen leaving the College Condominiums on East College Boulevard. His remains were found on June 25 in a shallow grave off Sunset Lane in Freeport, with a zip tie around his neck and concrete poured over him. DNA confirmed his identity on July 9. Investigators say the people involved knew one another and have described the case as isolated and domestic, but they have not disclosed a clear motive or the precise circumstances of the killing. Another unresolved question is the full scope of help Johnson allegedly received. She is accused of using aliases, disguises, and a network of accomplices while moving across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Five people have been arrested for allegedly helping her avoid capture, but authorities have not publicly detailed whether any of them had prior knowledge of the killing or involvement beyond assisting her afterward. Also unknown is what led investigators to the burial site. The sheriff’s office has said only that investigators “developed information.” Until Johnson is found and the case is tested in court, the central facts behind Coulthart’s death remain unanswered.

Johnson has been on the run since a June 26 arrest warrant, with investigators saying she used disguises, shifting hairstyles, hats, glasses and aliases including Harley, Jessica Elaine Bowman and Denise.
Sheriff Michael Adkinson warned anyone still giving Johnson shelter, false information or other help will face charges as deputies released surveillance images and mugshots to widen the search.
Coulthart, 43, was reported missing on May 24 and was found buried on June 25 on a Panhandle property, turning the case into a homicide investigation now backed by a $16,000 reward.
