Maybe LE would be so kind to fill out this information for us??

I doubt it...thats why I said perhaps we could try to find some of it. No doubt, some we wont be able to answer...but I figured it was worth a try. If no interest, Ill delete it.

[JerseyGirl]

I see postman, trash man, etc, on the list. Janet & Raven had also used a babysitter. I don't know any information at all about that person or whether it was family, a friend, or even a teen that was hired from the neighborhood.

[Timex]

Question for anyone that may know....

In the video, Janet is walking Kaiden...pushing him in the stroller. I assume they are on their street. Did she walk routinely? Was Raven always with her when she walked?

[tiffany]

No clue....but Janet was always doing something sporty. She liked to keep in shape...and she was a new mom...she was probably trying to loose some weight after the birth...not that she had to...she was always SOOO skinny!

You know, there was on picture on ravenstree.com where the caption refers to them taking Raven on his first hike... Was Janet a hiker?

[tiffany]

Oh okay thanks...I was really confused!

[JerseyGirl]

You're welcome. I went back and deleted my old post since I know you've now seen it. I'm not sure if you know how to delete old posts. You click the button that says "edit" at the bottom right of your post. When the edit page opens, near the top, check the selection that says "delete post" (or something like that), and then click the button that says delete post. I'll be deleting this one as well when I know that you've seen it, (just to keep this thread orderly). :)

[PrayersForMaura]

Timex... thanks for dong this, good thread.

I believe we have learned from Rooster that they had two dogs but this is not confirmed.
Is Rooster still around or does anyone else know for sure?

I will delete this post after we get an answer.
I agree with golfmom, maybe this thread should be discussion free and onyl timex posts with the information?
Maybe we can have a separate thread for discussion of this thread, and make this thread a sticky?

[Timex]

There were 2 dogs in the video, assume both were thiers?

[PrayersForMaura]

There were 2 dogs in the video, assume both were thiers?
Yes ... so you can update #54. I think it's safe to assume.

54. Pets: 2 cats, 1 dog

[JerseyGirl]

Did they have two cats? How did I miss that? And we've heard that there were two dogs but I don't know if they still had them or not. Timex, feel free to delete all of my posts that are on this thread at this point.

Maybe I jumped the gun, as far as the two cats (I gave that info to Timex to include). I don't know the original source of the info, but I picked it up from Post #2, on the Timeline thread:


Known Pets of Janet and Raven:
Shanuk (dog)
Ashes (charcoal cat)
Lucky (short hair black cat).

According to Raven: Lucky plays fetch and sleeps at the foot of the bed. Ashes is a very sly cat and sleeps at the head of the bed. Shanuk is just amazing and is a great companion. She sleeps outside or in the living room.

I posted that info on the timeline thread... it's from the archived ravenstree.com. There are pictures of the cats there.

[PrayersForMaura]

Just more proof of two dogs but now no mention of cats.... but no mention of a wife either, so maybe it doens't mean anything. But he did specificaly mention a baby and two dogs.

Ya know, I posted on here that I would never ever get rid of my VX.... NOw it seems I am so close to throwing in the towel. Between my job, a baby, two dogs and a need for more and more space, I'm just not sure the VX fits the bill. "

Janet loved all sports and outdoor activities. She was always happy to do something sporty.

Was this written in December 2004? What was he talking about? They were renting a house, Kaiden was born, they both were working, he was embezzling....what was going on financially in 2004 where he needed to sell the VX? Was two incomes and stealing not enough?

I wonder this too ... I wonder if he still owed on it. Maybne he had credit card debt, too, from all his big boy toys?

39. Automobile: 2001 Acura 3.0 CL

40. Automobile repairs

41. Usual mode of travel



On Thursday, Durham police Cpl. B.E. Bradley was granted to a warrant to search a 1998 Dodge Durango belonging to Raven Abaroa, the victim's husband. The warrant indicates that the day before, police had searched the SUV and the home the couple rented in western Durham off Sparger Road.

After police interviewed Raven Abaroa earlier on Thursday, they asked a judge for permission to search the vehicle for evidence a second time, the warrant said.

"Information disclosed during that interview has suggested that further scientific testing is needed to determine the relationship of the vehicle to the homicide," the warrant said.

LOL, I did some checking in media and there is just not much there! These I found here in the forum, and while reading I noted that the info wasn't included. I am in evidence right now, and think I have found something significant.

No, there really isn't much. Like I said, this case is oddly quiet. That's why we need you here so desperately! You are the Queen of Media Searches! :)

I am in evidence right now, and think I have found something significant.Please do tell!!! I have to go out for a bit but I'll be sure to check in as soon as I get back.

Position of body: On back Face down Other
Janet was found kneeling

[JerseyGirl]

Janet Abaroa was stabbed in the neck and chest. It was likely the wound to the base of her neck, which cut into an artery and lung, that was the fatal blow, the report says. A sharp object also cut the woman's right middle finger, the report shows. (From the pregnancy thread.)
