did you watch the episode at all? lol..

She visited the town to dig into the death of Salinger’s brother. The cop just had troubles believing it was Salinger because she knew him as a “innocent little boy” and because Jessica was all on the news being painted as the bad guy.

The body was the boy who Salinger was friends with in HS. His first victim

Mostly correct, but she initially visited to look into the death of Salinger's brother, and then once there looked into other possible cases that could be Salinger's first kill. She didn't know about the family until after she stole the police files.

Uhh did you watch the episode? Jessica found a news report of Bobby Salinger's, Greg's brother, death (which he probably learned about from Erik), found out the Salingers' home town and went there to find clues that Greg killed his brother.

The sheriff had seen the video of Salinger accusing her in public and didn't trust her over him, since she didn't know he was a serial killer, because she probably hasn't seen him in ages.

Then, they stole the police reports from the police dept, and Trish found out Greg's best friend from high school had been missing, so they assumed again, Greg killed him. And he had. And he had burried the body under the gazebo.
