I-75 Slaying: Jennifer Scavone and Ex-Partner Fought Over Custody for a Decade

February 11, 2013, 6:48 AM

As Michigan State Police detectives look into the weekend I-75 murder of Jennifer Ann Scavone, a decade-long child custody battle with her former common-law husband is among the avenues being explored.

“We are looking at quite a few things right now, that being one of them,” Lt. Michael Shaw said Sunday, reports Mitch Hotts of the Macomb Daily.

Scavone, 32, was shot multiple times in her SUV around 3:40 a.m. Saturday while driving home from her job as a shot girl at the Bouzouki nightclub club in the Greektown.

The Sterling Heights woman found shot to death on Interstate 75 over the weekend had been locked in a decade-long child custody case with the father of one of her two children, according to court records.

She had been involved in the legal action over her older son with the boy’s father, Josef Zbercot of Roseville, since 2003, Macomb Count Circuit Court online records show. They were last in court on Jan. 28 and had additional hearings coming up in March. . . .

There were issues over child support, parenting time, and grandparents parenting time, according to online records.

Scavone, her fiance and her two sons -- Derek, 11, and Cody, 4 -- had recently moved into a Sterling Heights house, Hotts reports.
