Stephanie Rodriguez didn’t come to play subtle.

In a 38-minute interview that dropped on Nancy Grace’s YouTube channel at 9 p.m. last night, Brianna Aguilera’s mother laid out a timeline so explosive it might as well have been written in gasoline.

Here’s the part that stopped hearts across Texas:

“There was one girl at that tailgate who made it her mission to ruin my daughter’s night,” Stephanie said, voice shaking with rage and grief. “She spent the whole evening taking pictures of Brianna talking to some random guy, just laughing, nothing more, and then she sent those pictures straight to Aldo with captions like ‘Guess who’s moving on?’ and laughing emojis. That girl knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted a fight. She wanted drama. And thirty minutes later, my daughter was dead.”

Stephanie didn’t drop a full name, but she gave enough breadcrumbs for the internet to start baking:

A junior at Texas A&M
Delta Gamma sorority
From the Dallas area
Was wearing a white cowboy hat with a maroon ribbon in every tailgate photo
Had been “obsessed” with Brianna and Aldo’s relationship for months

Within two hours, sleuths on Reddit, TikTok, and private A&M group chats had narrowed it to one person. Her Instagram is now private. Her Venmo is disabled. Her roommates have deleted their stories. And her name is trending nationwide alongside #JusticeForBrianna.

According to Stephanie, the sequence went like this:

8:47 p.m. – The girl takes three photos of Brianna leaning in toward a tall guy in a Longhorns jersey, just normal tailgate banter. 8:52 p.m. – She AirDrops them to Aldo with the message “Your girlfriend looks real single tonight 🙂” 9:03 p.m. – Aldo calls Brianna furious. Brianna, who has already lost her phone, borrows someone else’s to call him back and try to explain. 11:02 p.m. – Brianna arrives at 21 Rio Apartments with the same group, including the girl who sent the photos. 12:43 a.m. – Brianna borrows another phone and calls Aldo again. The fight reignites. 12:46 a.m. – Brianna goes over the balcony.

“That girl was one of the last three people in the apartment,” Stephanie told Grace. “She watched the whole thing happen and then helped the others get their stories straight before the police even arrived. She didn’t just start the fight. She made sure Brianna had nowhere safe to cool off.”

Austin PD has repeatedly said there is “no evidence of criminality” and continues to classify the death as suicide. But last night, for the first time, APD confirmed they are “re-interviewing all party attendees” and have seized additional phones.

Meanwhile, the alleged photographer’s name is being whispered in every Aggie group chat from College Station to Austin. Her family has reportedly hired a crisis PR firm. And her sorority’s national headquarters issued a statement saying they are “cooperating fully with law enforcement.”

Stephanie ended the interview with a direct message to the girl whose photos may have changed everything:

“You know who you are. You know what you did. My daughter can’t speak anymore, but I can. And I’m not going to stop until the whole world knows your name and exactly what part you played in taking her from us.”

As of 6 a.m. this morning, the girl’s parents’ house in a Dallas suburb was surrounded by news vans.

The suicide ruling is starting to crack. And one white cowboy hat with a maroon ribbon might be the thread that unravels the entire story.
